What did you do this weekend? Really? Because we think Diana Nyad has you beat.
Estadunidense cancela su aventura de nadar de Cuba a Floridatodogaceta.com
The U.S. endurance swimmer went from Havana, Cuba, to Key West, Fla., in about 53 hours, swimming the entire way without a shark cage.
Diana Nyad swims to Florida from Cuba without cageLooking dazed and sunburned, U.S. endurance swimmer Diana Nyad walked on to the Key West shore Monday, becoming the first person to swim ...
Turns out the sharks weren't interested in the 64 year old anyway, but her journey drew overwhelming interest online.
The 177-kilometre swim is a long way to go, and some wondered why a person would do such a thing (it was her lifelong dream).
But why tho lol ? RT Nyad 1st to swim to Florida from Cuba without cage http://news.yahoo.com/nyad-1st-swim-florida-cuba-without-cage-180026706.htmlIsiaha
I've never met Diana Nyad. I hear she's really impressive. I can't swim that far. But is this really major international news?David Shiffman

1st photo I've seen of Nyad on shore: RT @JuliaBaggNBC6: Nyad tells fans: "never ever give up" http://twitter.com/JuliaBaggNBC6/status/374592705738706944/photo/1Brian Stelter
Other tweeters were inspired by Nyad, not just for persevering (it was her 5th attempt), but because, as a lesbian and a swimmer, to some she is a role model who works hard to reach her goals.
"I didn't have any sexuality -- I just knew I didn't want to be with men. But I thought it was all just because of the trauma -- you never know, but I think I was gay from day one," she told Out.
"All that ocean-swimming I did back in the '70s was just filled with anger. And sometimes anger is very powerful."
She turned these feelings into the "Xtreme Dream" -- her plan to swim from Cuba to Florida -- to feel alive and empowered.
Diana Nyad has been an inspiration to me my whole life. I am so thrilled that she did it. #women #GLBT #heroKA Mitchell

While people from around the world cheered as Nyad triumphantly walked out of the water at the end of her long swim on Sunday, many others sneered. The jokes came out in fine form.
Who wants to tell Diana Nyad that she left her car keys in Cuba and has to swim back now?Tim Reynolds
Diana Nyad did finish. Is Fidel next ?Andrew Innes
Unfortunately, what greeted Diana Nyad when she arrived in Florida caused her to turn around and dive back in. http://twitter.com/ChrisRRegan/status/374603214034722817/photo/1Chris Regan
