Meet Laura Newton and Cassidy Hurd, half of the powerhouse team aiming to break a world record by rowing across the Pacific.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A six-hour flight across the Pacific can be quite the ordeal. From navigating labyrinthine TSA lines to enduring cramped cabins, it\u2019s enough to test even the most patient travelers.<\/p>\n

Now, picture the extraordinary mental and physical strength required to swap the comfort of a Boeing 787 for a four-person rowing boat, transforming what once seemed like a taxing six-hour flight into a month-long odyssey.<\/p>\n

For Full Foarce, an all-women rowing team based on O\u2018ahu, this will soon become their reality. Beginning on June 8, they\u2019ll embark on the adventure of a lifetime, competing in The World\u2019s Toughest Row-Pacific, a competition that spans an incredible 2,800 miles from Monterey, California, to Hanalei, Kaua\u2018i. With no assistance and no breaks, they\u2019ll harness the strength of their muscles and unwavering determination to row toward the finish line.<\/p>\n

The team \u2014 comprising both amateur and expert rowers \u2014 will confront the elements, enduring seasickness, blisters, salt sores, sleep deprivation, hallucinations and inevitable equipment malfunctions. They\u2019ll row on three-hour shifts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until they reach the Garden Isle. While the average completion time hovers around 60 days, this quartet is aiming for 34 days, 14 hours and 19 minutes, a moment shy of a world record.<\/p>\n

You might be thinking, \u201cWho would willingly sign up for this?\u201d<\/p>\n

Enter Cassidy Hurd, Laura Newton, Cait Miller and Elaina Loveless, the women who not only willingly signed up for it but are eagerly awaiting the sound of the race\u2019s starting horn.<\/p>\n

Hurd and Newton call O\u2018ahu home, while Miller and Loveless reside in Idaho and Florida, respectively. Today, these women are inseparable, conversing daily as they prepare to spend more than a month at sea together on a 28-foot rowing boat. It\u2019s funny to think that not long ago, they were complete strangers.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Hurd, a Michigan native and speech pathologist, stumbled upon a TikTok account featuring all-women rowing team Latitude 35, the current world record holder for the fastest all-women foursome to row across the Pacific. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was just so enamored with what they were doing, and I would check in daily on their progress and what the updates were,\u201d says Hurd. \u201cShortly after they finished their race, they made a post saying that anybody could sign up \u2026 and I was like, \u2018What the heck? I want to do this.\u2019 I didn\u2019t know that any regular person could go row an ocean.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hurd dove into online forums, where she struck an instant connection with Loveless, a high school rowing coach. Together, they formed a team and sought additional members online but without any luck. Meanwhile, Hurd was also active on an online O\u2018ahu-based hiking group, where she crossed paths (or friend requests) with Newton. Upon learning about the expedition, Newton was all in. Miller, a business owner, came to the team through a mutual rowing friend, having previously rowed the Atlantic in 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been very adventurous and outdoorsy, and I saw this as an opportunity to take on a big adventure that was going to be more meaningful than something personal,\u201d shares Newton, a Connecticut native and civil engineer. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to do it publicly and raise money for charities \u2026 I saw it as a way to adventure with a bigger purpose instead of small adventures for my own enjoyment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hurd adds, \u201cYou see these crazy stories and these adventurous things that people do, and, at least for myself, I think the majority of people think, \u2018That\u2019s not something I could ever do\u2019 \u2014 not even physically be able to do but not have the opportunity to do it, like actually sign up for this and compete in this. So, while I was watching (Latitude 35), I was like, \u2018Gosh, that just sounds like something I would do. It\u2019s so adventurous and so out there. It\u2019s so amazing what they\u2019re doing.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I found out that I could sign up for it and you didn\u2019t have to meet these special prerequisites of rowing experience or anything, I was like, \u2018Sign me up. Let\u2019s do this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

All four women come from athletic backgrounds but only Miller and Loveless have prior rowing experience. They\u2019ve made several visits to each other\u2019s locations to train together as a team, but the bulk of their preparation happens independently. Training includes six workouts a week, such as hiking, biking, swimming and weightlifting, and saunas and ice baths. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff that people probably don\u2019t realize. Aside from the physical training, there\u2019s a lot of mental preparation as well,\u201d shares Newton. \u201cWe\u2019ve heard from a lot of previous teams that it\u2019s way more mental than it is physical. Your body will adapt pretty quickly out there, but then being able to stay mentally tough, to make it all the way to the end, is a big challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to training, fundraising also consumed much of the team\u2019s time. They aimed to raise $225,000 to cover various expenses, such as their boat, gear and supplies, flights and accommodations, mandatory safety courses, and more. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think fundraising has taken the majority of all of our time to solicit sponsors, and host fundraisers here in Hawai\u2018i in person and online. Cait and Elaina have done fundraisers back where they\u2019re living, too. It\u2019s been a huge effort.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people have said that the hardest part is getting to the start line,\u201d Newton adds. \u201cOnce you\u2019re there, all you have to do is eat, sleep and row. Plus, we\u2019re all working full-time jobs while we do this, so it\u2019s basically a second full-time job for the past year-plus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Any overflowing funds raised will be donated to two nonprofits: Papah\u0101naumoku\u0101kea Marine Debris Project, a Kailua-based nonprofit created to protect the wildlife and habitats at the Papah\u0101naumoku\u0101kea Marine National Monument in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, and Play Like A Girl. <\/p>\n

\u201c(Play Like A Girl) works with middle school-aged girls and they encourage them to stick with sports and use the transferable skills gained from sports to propel them into STEM careers and leadership positions in more male-dominated fields,\u201d shares Newton. \u201cIt kind of ties together my two favorite things: sports and STEM. <\/p>\n

We actually got to be part of their mentor program and talk to a group of middle school girls about what we\u2019re doing, why we\u2019re doing it and how to go about taking on challenging things and not let fears or expectations hold you back from pursuing your dreams. We hope to inspire young girls and women to do challenging things, and break stereotypes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their journey has been as much about preparation as it has been about personal growth. In the past year, they\u2019ve already gained invaluable insights and experiences, even before the competition has officially begun.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m definitely in the best physical shape of my life,\u201d says Newton. \u201cWe\u2019ve learned how to advocate for ourselves when trying to get sponsors and things like that. I\u2019m an introvert and if I had it my way, I would do this without telling anybody \u2026 but we have to tell everybody \u2014 we have to promote ourselves and advocate for ourselves to get funding and hopefully spread the word about these charities and raise a bunch of money for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hurd adds, \u201cI think the big one for me is having patience and grace with myself and each other, which isn\u2019t always easy \u2026 I always joke that I\u2019m a big planner and like to know everything in advance, and a lot of this we can\u2019t know in advance, so it\u2019s been hard for me, so vocalizing that to the team and getting support from the team has been great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once the race ends, Hurd says she looks forward to the positive impact it will have on herself, her spouse, and the circle of friends and family who have supported her through the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cBesides that, I don\u2019t know what life will be like after the row,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m going to take some time off work to give my body time to heal, but I do plan on going back to my same job for the time being, otherwise everything else will be different. I will have grown and changed a lot, and I\u2019m looking forward to what that entails.\u201d<\/p>\n

Newton, meanwhile, is looking forward to something a little simpler (and sweeter).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first thing I want is fresh fruit and ice cream,\u201d she says with a laugh.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re both lucky in the fact that we can take some time off of work after, so I think there will be a lot of time for reflection and processing everything we went through that in the moment maybe we didn\u2019t have too much time to think about,\u201d she adds. \u201cI think, without a doubt, we\u2019ll have a different perspective on life at the end of this and maybe different ideas of different things we want to do. Our priorities might have changed by the end of it. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s tough to predict, but I think we\u2019ll have a new outlook after going through something as challenging as this, and we will definitely all be bonded for life.\u201d<\/p>\n
