Women Who Row A Bit More Than Average

This evening’s video watching time included two TED talks that were each focused on women who rowed solo across one or more oceans.  The first was given by Roz Savage, who is a British woman who rowed solo across both the Atlantic AND the Pacific oceans.  The second was by Dawn Landes, titled “A song for my hero, the woman who rowed into a hurricane” and was about Tori Murden McClure, the first woman and also the first American to row solo across the Atlantic. The second one brought tears to my eyes … but that was because I didn’t know yet that she survived her first, failed attempt.  They were each well worth watching, even for people who’ve never touched an or or even sat on an indoor rowing machine.

Here's a link for the first TED talk: Roz Savage

and a link for the second one: About Tori Murden McClure

So now that it’s bedtime, I’m wondering if there will be any dreams inspired and remembered tomorrow about rowing.

Sweet dreams, to anyone who is reading this before bedtime and a good day to the rest.
