@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.

WOW! I didn't know...she's amazing!

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.

@pattykimura @VeroniqueB99 Power to her!
Having been a guide on 3 private trip on the Grand Canyon (plus many other river trips), I could see where the pro guides could use some help. Its a lot of really strenuous physical work to get downriver, setup camp, cook, clean and pack every day. Plus each trip is a long time to be away from family, even though you're around (often, very lazy) customers.
