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:
- Youngest woman
- First American woman
- Fastest woman
- Fastest human
She 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: https://www.kcra.com/article/kelsey-pfendler-record-breaking-row-california-hawaii-top-moments/71819753
