Four courageous women just broke a world record after braving dehydration and debilitating heat.

Cramped in a small American Spirit rowboat, Libby Costello, Sophia Denison-Johnston, Brooke Downes and Adrienne Smith of the Lat35 team spent 34 days, 14 hours and 11 minutes rowing across the Pacific Ocean and finished Tuesday in world-record time.

The all-female team, which documented its journey on Instagram, traversed more than 2,400 nautical miles from San Francisco to Honolulu and operated in two-hour shifts, according to Good Morning America. It was the first time they rowed unassisted and in the open sea, with only about 90 minutes of shut-eye at a time.

I feel totally overwhelmed in the best way by love. And Im also exhausted, Denison-Johnston told Good Morning America upon setting foot on solid ground.
