Lest I Think I'm Tough After Finishing an Ironman

I don't think any of us have anything on this little guy.

E7 -- a Bar-Tailed Godwit (it's a bird) -- just set a non-stop flight record by covering more than 7,200 miles in eight days, without touching down once.

Oh, and apparently Bar-Tailed Godwits can't stop to eat or drink when they're flying over open water. Seriously.

Read about the rest of her epic journey here.

Mind-boggling.
