#141: When I Finished Rowing the Atlantic, I Wasn't Happy | Elliot Awin.
After spending 44 days alone rowing over 3,000 miles across the Atlantic unsupported, Elliot Awin expected to feel on top of the world. Instead, he was left asking a different question entirely. In this episode, Elliot shares the reality of living with a heart condition, receiving a pacemaker, and taking on one of the toughest endurance challenges on earth. More importantly, we explore what happened after he reached Antigua and why achieving your biggest goal doesn't always bring the feeling you expect. We discuss: - Mental Resilience | Can you be brave without being scared?- Choosing to row across the Atlantic - The mental challenge of being alone at sea- The battle of 8 foot waves & deadly marlins - Why finishing the row didn't make him happy - Not attaching yourself to the noun - Usefullness of emotions A huge thank you to Wintergreen Sport for supporting this episode.
