Australian solo rower Liz Wardley has set a new race record in the ‘World’s Toughest Row’.
She crossed the finish line in Antigua in the Carribean after racing at sea for 44 days.
The 45-year-old rowed her seven-metre boat almost 5,000 kilometres across the Atlantic.
Liz endured some tough conditions and, in the last 24 hours of the race, capsized in wild seas.
“Getting off the boat and stepping onto the dock was definitely an amazing experience – I couldn’t actually stand up,” Ms Wardley told Sky News Australia.
“It took a lot out of me.
“Just getting to the finish line – a massive accomplishment.
“I knew it wasn’t going to be an easy feat, but coming in as the third solo ... and taking out this record – I'm a bit lost for words ... I’m extremely proud of my achievement and also everyone who’s been around me to help me.”
