Miriam Payne set off from the Canary Islands to Antigua & Barbuda, rowing for almost 18 hours per day for almost two months
A University of Glasgow student has broken an Atlantic solo rowing record powered by rations and IRN-BRU.
Miriam set off from the Canary Islands to Antigua & Barbuda, rowing for almost 18 hours per day for almost two months. It seems the old saying of ‘IRN-BRU gets you through’ really is true.The 23-year-old, physics graduate, from Yorkshire consumed a can of IRN-BRU every ‘500 miles’ that she completed, to give her a taste of home and remind herself of her Scottish mother.
Known as the ‘world’s toughest row’ she also missed out on being with her friends and loved ones throughout Christmas and New Year to take on this massive challenge. Miriam also had to experience the dangers of the Atlantic, she endured choppy wintery weather alongside sharks infested waters. Miriam set off on December 12 and her training clearly paid off as she arrived in the Caribbean at Nelson’s Harbour at 5am, finishing in 59 days, 19 hours and 14 minutes.
