Millie Gibbons isn’t your usual world record breaker. No one knew she’d smashed the women’s Double Everesting record until two months after she’d finished. And yet, the 30-year-old Brit had spent a gruelling 38 hours and 39 minutes in the saddle to gain the title, after climbing 493 kilometres - 30 times.
"I just messaged [the Everesting group] to be like, 'Oh I think this is the fastest', and only then did they realise and make a whole big deal about it." she laughs. "I didn't do it to say I got a record or anything. I just did it because I wanted to do it myself."
