Wow!
My great Uncle, a great swimmer, died crossing Lake Champlain between Orwell, VT and Crowne Point, NY in the 1930s.
They think he got cramps. How does this woman avoid such things?
54 hours x 60 = 3,240 minutes + 10 minutes = 3,250 minutes
130 / 3,250 = .04 miles (4 100ths of a mile each minute)
.04 x 25 = 1
3,250 / 25 = 130 miles
Very impressive indeed. I'd be lucky to make it .04 of a mile. I think I did the math correctly. 8>)
Two days six hours!!!
Continous hard work.
No sleep.
Amazing.
Amazing is not even a strong enough word to describe it. Not sure there even is a word that is. Perhaps miraculous?
I once swam half way across the English channel but figured I could not make it so I swam back to England.....
