110 miles, and she made it! 64-year-old, Diana Nyad made her fifth attempt at swimming from Cuba to Key West, FL., and has accomplished what she’d set out to do. Hit the jump for more of the deets.
Don’t forget to check out the gallery!
The woman who’s clearly in impeccable shape, is the FIRST to swim 110miles without a shark cage! Nyad failed at her four previous attempts due to bad weather, jelly fish, etc., and even though on Sunday, she was FREEZING in the water, she kept going. Followed by the coast guard for 53hrs., the swimmer for over 35+ years yelled out, “I am about to swim my last two miles in the ocean,” to her handlers. NOW, she goes down in the books. CONGRATULATIONS! Must’ve taken extreme strength!
