Charlie Pitcher Wins Atlantic Rowing Race
Date: 10/03/2010 11:27:33Club member Charlie Pitcher from Felsted has achieved an amazing win by rowing solo across the atlantic ocean in 52 days beating the previous solo record of 68 days. He has won the event single handed beating teams of pairs and fours by hundreds of miles. The nearest competitors, rowing as pairs were 400 miles behind. The nearest solo rower was still 800 miles away from the finish ! His amazing feat puts him amongst the great winners of an Atlantic crossing that only a few have achieved !! Emma and the boys are there to witness his victorious finish. I'm sure we will all be in trouble when Charlie gets back to some distance running !!
