16. Just for fun
Join us as we share audio updates from the first Atlantic Dash. 3,200 miles across the Atlantic Ocean from Lanzarote to Antigua, in a 4 man ocean rowing boat. Team: Billy Taylor, Matt Pritchard, Martin Heseltine, Johnny Ward
In this episode we hear the guys answers to 10 random questions. One of the toughest things about ocean rowing is keeping your mind active while you're rowing for 12 hours a day, so asked them things to get their minds working. Important things like: Is a hotdog a sandwich? Would you rather eat poo flavoured chocolate or chocolate flavoured poo? and Who would play you in a movie of your life?
Unsurprisingly, there is some swearing in this episode!
