Rowing California to hawaii

The WTR Pacific Challenge is an extreme rowing race from Monterey, California to  Kauai, Hawaii. Teams of 1- 5 members row ocean-worthy boats 2800 miles across the ocean and face down massive waves, sleep deprivation, salt sores, and sea sickness.  The goal is to raise awareness and funds for charities and to push themselves to their absolute limits. 

My team is Oar the Rainbow. We are a team of people who believe in doing hard things in pursuit of our most fulfilled lives. We see the Pacific Challenge as an exciting opportunity to push the limits of our endurance and find strength not only in ourselves, but in each other.

We know there’s nothing we can’t do together when we put inclusion, joy, and kindness at the heart of our team.
