Well done to British rowers Mike Burton and Tom Salt who have beaten 15 international teams to win the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, the world's toughest rowing race. They completed the gruelling 3,000 mile race from La Gomera, Canary Islands, to Antigua in 41 days, 2 hours and 38 minutes.

Excellent. I noticed there were no Canadian teams or crew represented. I guess we have to wait for a dog sled race.

Just watched the video at taliskerwhiskyatlanticchallenge.com it must be relentless and frightening during the storms, must take some endurance.

Definitely an endurance race, the physical and mental exhaustion must be huge during the storms.
