@VeroniqueB99 I was excited to read about her accomplishment! I admire her greatly, as I do one of my heroes, Jacky Hunt-Broersma. Another total #badass!
Like me, she’s a cancer survivor. She serves as reminder that I can do hard things… just like Kelsey! OK well maybe not just like them…

@VeroniqueB99 I seem to recall seeing somewhere she’s established three things with this: fastest time ever (any gender), first female ever, fastest female ever.
Okay, maybe the first and last can be blurred, but those actually are different record entries, so I say it’s three in total.

@VeroniqueB99 The Pacific Ocean is a violent, unpredictable ocean, not "pacific" at all. This is truly an amazing and crazy feat. She halved the best female record, and beat the male record by 9 days. She rowed alone, and high waves pushed her backwards for miles, and she survived storms with 14 foot waves. She's a Grand Canyon River rower! She raised money (over $300k) for a foundation that provides mental and wellness health for other Grand Canyon River guides. Truly remarkable.

So ... logistical question ... does she (and others of her particular brand of crazy!) sleep at all? Doesn't the boat drift when the "motor" is off?
I mean, she must 'cause ... 43 days is a long time with no sleep. Curious how that works when you are unsupported.
