One entrant, Sarah Outen, hopes to cover the 3000 mile voyage to Mauritius in less than 111 days in a bid to become the first woman, as well as the youngest and fastest person, to make the crossing. Previously a club captain at St Hugh’s College Oxford, Sarah is training hard on and off the water for the race which will demand rowing for up to 12 hours a day battling wind, waves and shipping traffic. It will be a huge test of commitment, endurance and stamina. For further details visit Sarah’s website www.sarahouten.co.uk
