Catherine Breed<\/strong> completed a crossing of Monterey Bay this week in less than 13 hours, setting a record for the open-water course.<\/p>\n

Breed\u2019s swim started Monday night at Twin Lakes State Beach in Santa Cruz. Through water temperatures in the 50s and schools of jellyfish, Breed arrived at San Carlos Beach in Monterey Tuesday morning. She covered the 25-mile swim in 12 hours and 53 minutes, setting the record for the fastest crossing of the bay.<\/p>\n

“I wasn’t sure if it was going to happen,\u201d Breed told CBS affiliate KION<\/a>. \u201cI was going to be proud of myself either way. It’s a monster to cross Santa Cruz to Monterey. The cherry on top was breaking that record.\u201d<\/p>\n

Breed\u2019s mother documented Catherine\u2019s swim on Instagram at her account, beyondthelbackline_<\/a><\/p>\n
