Some folks may have heard about 31-year-old Kelsey Pfendler’s mastery of the sea. What I find most impressive is that she shattered the records she broke.
She rowed a boat from California to Hawaii ALONE. Her 2,400-mile journey took 44 days. In doing so she was the:
1. Youngest woman
2. First American woman
3. Fastest woman
4. Fastest humanShe cut the previous women’s record (86 days) in half. She beat the previous men’s record (52 days) by just over a week.
What a beast. Go ahead and tell me men are physically superior to women. Kelsey straight up said “anything you can do, I can do better.”
Here’s a summary of a video diary she kept on route:
