With nothing but her small boat for company, British lawyer Victoria Evans succeeded in crossing the Atlantic Ocean.The 35-year-old1 4,740 kilometers in 40 days and 19 hours, battling constantly high winds, big waves and lack of2 to record the fastest female solo row across the Atlantic Ocean. "It was much3 than I expected," she told CNN Sport, "I got probably the strongest wind and the challenges you need to keep going through were4."Evans had spent four years preparing for this5 of a lifetime but still hadn't been ready for the6 of an ocean crossing. Even before setting off, the trip was7 by issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic which forced the challenge to be8 by a year. Once the challenge was9, high winds made rowing and sleeping extremely difficult, causing Evans to float off10 at times.At one point a wave locked the11 door from the inside, leaving her12 outside of her cabin for 3 hours. Despite these occasional challenges, Evans managed to13 in extreme conditions."It's a very unique sport14 you can't get off when you're there and you have to deal with it. So it was so, so intense," said Evans, who was15 to cross the Atlantic after climbing Mont Blanc in 2017.
