C'est moi:
Diana Nyad, an endurance
swimmer from New York,
has become the first
swimmer to make the 110
mile journey from Havana,
Cuba to Key West, Florida
without the use of a shark
cage.
The 64-year-old, who has
already attempted the
journey five times in the last
36 years, swam continuously
for 53 hours, wearing a full
body suit, gloves and boots
and a specially designed
silicone mask to protect her
from jellyfish.
Wading out of the water at
Key West, Florida, Nyad
appeared sunburnt,
exhausted and dazed as a
crowd of supporters
surrounded her to celebrate
the world record. Nyad’s lips
also appeared bruised and
swollen as a result of the
protective mask she had
worn during the journey.
“You are never too old to
chase your dreams,” Nyad
said as she emerged from
hospital several hours after
being treated for
dehydration, swelling and
sunburn.
Barack Obama was among
the many public officials and
celebrities who wished the
64-year-old congratulations,
tweeting: “Never give up on
your dreams.”
Diana Nyad first came to
prominence as an endurance
swimmer in 1975, when she
swam the circumference of
Manhattan.
She then attempted the long
distance journey from Cuba
to the US five times, first in
1978 at the age of 28.

Whoa! 64 years? I saw this on Facebook early this morning, but I didn't know she is 64.

She really tried; swam for 2 days+. Lord, have mercy.

Congrats, Diana.
