First woman to row the 3 biggest oceans
Wednesday, October 5, 2011 at 02:09AM Yesterday morning Roz Savage, a 43-year old Englishwoman, reached Mauritius on her 154th day after setting off from Australia, having rowed solo across the Indian Ocean.
Yesterday, she set a world record of being the first woman to have rowed solo across the Atlantic, Pacific and now Indian oceans.
What makes Roz do what she does?
Well, the catalyst for Roz's ocean rowing career started 11 years ago when in a steady office job she decided to write an obituary for herself. The obituary she wrote was the one that she wanted people to say and write about her when she died.
She then wrote another obituary. The one that would be written about her if she continued on her current life course.
Seeing the huge difference between the two, Roz decided that she needed to take some drastic action in her life.
The rest, as the say, is history.
What is your ideal obituary and the one you are heading for now?
If they are vastly different, what are you going to do about that today?
