Crazy. I'd be worried about things under the water that would bite me in the butt during that swim. o_O

I don't get it, where did she eat and sleep?

The article claims that she had a sailboat and crew with her.

Figge woke most days around 7 a.m., eating pasta and baked potatoes while she and the crew assessed the weather. Her longest stint in the water was about eight hours, and her shortest was 21 minutes. Crew members would throw bottles of energy drinks as she swam; if the seas were too rough, divers would deliver them in person. At night she ate meat, fish and peanut butter, replenishing the estimated 8,000 calories she burned a day.

Yeah, this is pretty wild and surprisingly she maintained a balanced diet while doing it. Most endurance athletes will go on a carb overload but this chick just loaded up in general.

Anyone could do it, like she did.

Swim for 20 minutes, get back on the boat, sleep, wake up, swim for a couple hours, repeat. Kind of lame if you ask me.

it depended on the weather.

some days she swam for 8 hours, rougher days she swam for 20 minutes.

keep in mind she's in the ocean which is salty and cold and rough. unless the day is perfectly clear, those waves were probably killing her muscles.
