    For years, she'd been working two jobs and saving up to climb the world's highest peak. She'd refinanced her house, and she'd trained her body - sprinting uphill with a tire tied to her waist - and her mind, running on a treadmill for three hours at a time without radio or television for distraction.
    Don't forget how she won the world championship naked tractor pull using her bare teeth a mere 2 hours after swimming the English Channel with a fire-ant nest stuffed in her bathing trunks. What a woman!

    well, that's NOT all; she climbed mount Everest after a direct flight from the english channel. She was still wearing her bathing suit! That was another Guinness record, first woman in a bathing suit to climb Mt Everest
