In this very special episode of the Self Made Podcast, it is a pleasure to welcome all 3 members of a team who rowed the Atlantic Ocean.
Clocking an incredible 3000 miles in 37 days, 17 hours and 44 minutes is impressive by any measure but taking on the second biggest ocean in the world just with 2 mates, some ores and a little boat is a task many may not even think was possible! It certainly was not something I felt was possible until I got chatting to Martin here in Hong Kong.
In this episode Martin, Matthew and Rob break down what it takes to achieve such a task from how they decided on taking the challenge on, how they trained for it and the importance of telling people and partnering with the Child Fund Rugby charity had on keeping them accountable when times got tough.
As you can imagine during such a race there was highs, lows, scary moments and moments of overwhelm and we discuss it all in this show as well as how it felt seeing their families after not only 3000 miles but a 2.5 year timeframe due to the pandemic when they arrived at the finish line in Antiga.
If this episode teaches you nothing else it shows how our bodies can do more than we think! So push out of that comfort zone every now and then and do something you can be proud of.
Well that and the importance of disposable toilet paper.
