If you ever thought a 2km rowing race was a long way, or a
marathon was the ultimate challenge, check out what these crazy guys are doing.
Two Melbourne rowers
Tim Spiteri and
Shane Usher will spend the next 2 months aiming to be the first ever crew to row the 8,500km across the Indian Ocean, from Geraldton in Western Australia to Durban, South Africa. Non stop and un-supported.The boys will be putting the
776BC compression range to the
ultimate test on the journey. There’s no bigger challenge for all
our compression wear, whether it be
compression tights,
compression shorts and
compression long sleeves, but we know that with our garments in their kit bag they can trust their rowing wear to hold up.
Not only will this be a new
world record but it’s also for a great cause; to raise funds for
MS Australia, an organisation close to
Tim’s heart.
The boys are already 13 days into the journey and are tracking well. You can follow their daily progress at
