The Rowing Agenda

Each year since 1856 (except during the first two world wars), a elite crew from Oxford and Cambridge Universities race each other in a gigantic regatta called simply "The Boat Race." It's a grueling 4.25 mile race where the two crews go head-to-head with millions of people along the sidelines cheering throughout the 17-22 minutes of hell.

For me personally, these guys are just inspiring to watch. And even more so knowing that they have to stick it out for at least 6 whole months.
