Scottish brothers finish mammoth row across Pacific Ocean after 139 days

I’ve rowed a marathon ( several, actually) on a concept 2. I’d even say I’m pretty suited to long distance rowing, since I usually don’t drink or eat while doing a marathon.

That said, the idea of going much longer than that — like an eight hour shift, or even two four hour shifts in a day, day after day… that’s insane.

And that doesn’t even begin to account for the difference between the erg and ocean rowing. Double insane.

After about 45 minutes of rowing on the C2 I don't register that I am exerting myself anymore. I could probably go all day if the boredom wasn't so intense. The danger of the open sea would help a lot with this.

Can you not listen to an audiobook? It's done wonders for my driving boredom.
