Good for her.

I wonder though - did she eat anything along the way? Like other
ultra-distance athletes?


They do try to feed/hydrate her from a long pole or net. The regulations say
she must keep swimming or treading water the whole time.
Reports were that the salt water was making her very sick so she was
throwing up. Her people were worried about her energy level because of it,
but it all worked out.
