MEET BLUETUSK

David is a veteran of eleven Ironman races, has ridden a bicycle the entire length of the UK on three separate occasions (twice in the real world and once virtually), has run 15 marathons across Europe and more on the treadmill. He was also a Cycling Dove at the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games.

He’s looking forward to every moment of being on the ocean and raising money for 2 fantastic charities. 

Chris rowed competitively at university and then went on to represent both his Corps and the British Army in regattas across the UK. In recent years he has returned to rowing, but this time indoors, where he has enjoyed pushing himself by completing half and full marathons. He is under no illusion that Ocean rowing will be a very different, and a far tougher challenge. Chris has enjoyed many adventure training expeditions during his time in the Army but nothing on the scale of this Challenge.

He’s looking forward to testing himself and being part of a team that will take on the mighty Atlantic Ocean and everything the open sea can throw at them. He’s also motivated by the opportunity to give something back, raising awareness and funds for two fantastic charities

Working predominantly on small boats his love and respect for the ocean grew. He is a keen cyclist that races in distances up to 100 miles. Aaron has previously rowed the Atlantic as a trio and is looking forward to the extra time off this time.

Living by the coast in Bournemouth Aaron wants to use this Challenge to highlight the urgent need to protect our planet’s wildlife and habitats, including from the impact of climate change.
