Military team takes on one of world's toughest rows from mainland USA to Hawaii

Team Pacific One is a military team taking on the Pacific Challenge, dubbed as one of the world's toughest rows, which will see 20 teams from around the world attempt to row 2,800 miles from Monterey Bay in California to Hawaii.

The four members of Team Pacific One met when they were serving together in the Royal Yorkshire Regiment and believe that their time in the military sets them up well for an endurance race of such magnitude.

Armed with 1.2 million dried calories, Team Pacific One are certain they will get across the finish line in 45 days or less.
