RE: Two Irishmen to row across the Atlantic Part 1

in Sports Talk Social2 years ago

Ah Jaysus I did Damiens rowing challenge last year and i wrote about it. It made me as fit as a fiddle but it also gave me two hernias what I am only just recovered from

No way, I must have missed that post, fair play to you, sounds pretty bitter sweet, mighty to get fit, but two hernias, fuck that for a game of soldiers!!

Did Damien not do Everest as well?

He was supposed to, but pretty sure Covid-19 fucked him, he made it as far as the base camp and then had to leave as he caught Covid-19, and ya can't just go straight back to base camp as you have to adjust slowly to the altitude change.

The only kinda thing I worry about is if then got into a storm and something terrible happened, he leaves a wife and child behind.

Ya it's a fair point and he's had a fair few capsizes and sure if ya smack your head the wrong way, you'd be done for. The wife must be very understanding, I do well to get away for 2 nights, never mind 90 nights!
