Rowing Across the Pacific Without Carbs

[borofergie]

Two people are planning to row 2400 miles from San Francisco to Honolulu on a low-carb diet (<10% carbohydrate)

Fueling a massive endurance effort with almost no sugar or carbs isn’t the most traditional route for athletes, but Sami Inkinen and Meredith Loring want to prove that it can work. This June, the married duo plans to go from San Francisco to Honolulu as part of the inaugural Great Pacific Rowing Race—and to see that through on a diet of fat and protein. (Inkinen and Loring believe sugar and processed carbohydrates only hinder athletes.)

If they can do that, surely I'll be able to run 26.2 miles on zero carb, right?

Will be hard to complete no matter what they eat - massive kudos for even attempting it and I hope they don't get any bad pacific storms or swell. It is a long bandwidth swell with a twist unlike the Atlantic which was much shorter
