		Leaving off the best part of that: “… She did it in 43 days, shattering the previous women’s record, 86 days, 10 hours and five minutes, held by Lia Ditton — but also broke through the men’s record of 52 days.” Specifically, she set off to beat the women’s record but actually beat both the women’s and men’s record.

Sorry for focusing on the bad stuff, but that's not great.
