"but I trained with my butt off and I wanted to do the best I could so I prepared in every way possible but I was coming for the women's record but after like the first week like probably week and a half getting off the coast I realized I was ahead of the women's record and on a really good pace and just for fun I did a little bit of math to see what type of mileage I would need to do a day to break the men's record and I had that number and I just kind of put it in my back pocket and just tried to reach that number every day without ever really thinking that too hard about it that that was something that I possibly do but every day for the most part of this row I've been able to get that number or surpass it and it's it's been really hard for me to even kind of like absorb that this is happening and it took me a really long time to allow myself to even believe it most of the time I of this row I spent my time just kind of talking myself out of the fact that I was ahead of the record I know it's a pretty human thing but it's also a very female thing to just credit your abilities even when you're doing them and I did I spent most of the time just saying well you're gonna you're gonna you know you're gonna bonk you're gonna bail you're gonna something's gonna happen you're gonna slow down but in the last you know week and a half I really started to believe that this was possible to accept that like maybe this could happen for me I I think it's gonna take me a while to really absorb that this is happening but at this point it's gonna happen I'm gonna get to wahoo and I'm gonna be the fastest person to ever and it's a it's a crazy feeling to have this moment when I didn't even didn't even expect fully to break the women's record I'm coming out here I just wanted to do my best and I trained my butt off and I prepared in every way I could but I had no expectations of this moment but I'm so grateful for this moment so yeah this is huge for me for a lot of reasons just want to say thank you and I want to say thank you to people that believed in me because I didn't for a while"
