62-Year-Old Woman’s 2nd Attempt At Swimming From Cuba To Florida
62-year-old Diana Nyad is trying to make history by being the first female endurance swimmer to swim from Cuba to Miami. This is the Nyad’s second attempt after her first one failed when she was bitten by a shark. During this attempt, Nyad suffered a bad jellyfish sting at around the half way mark which is 113 miles. Nyad pauses every 45 and 90 minutes to rest and refuel with food handed to her from assistants which follow her by boat. Nyad hopes to be onshore at Monday morning and will lose about 15 pounds during the swim. Read more about Nyad and her swim after the jump. @Julie1205
