JUNE 12: McCardel says she expects to spend about 60 hours in the sea before reaching the Florida Keys, a little more than 100 miles to the northeast. American Diana Nyad and Australian Penny Palfrey have attempted the crossing four times between them since 2011, but each time threw in the towel part way through due to injury, jellyfish stings or strong currents. Australian Susie Maroney did it in 1997, but with a shark cage. (Associated Press)
JUNE 12: At a press conference, McCardell said "It is the hardest swim in the world today. No one has been able to achieve this. It's possibly harder than winning the World Cup or getting a gold medal." 11 hours into the swim, she abandoned the attempted crossing after being severely stung by jellyfish.
