I can't even imagine what this would require physically & mentally.
Congrats Kelsey!
“… She did it in 43 days, shattering the previous women’s record, 86 days, 10 hours and five minutes, held by Lia Ditton — but also broke through the men’s record of 52 days.”
Specifically, she set off to beat the women’s record but actually beat both the women’s and men’s record.
