Emily Whitehead Fitness and Nutrition advisor to the Talisker Ocean Rowing Team Astro to Atlantic. A team of four Devon hockey players, successfully completing the Talisker Ocean Rowing Race 2018.

CONGRATULATIONS ASTRO TO ATLANTIC ROWING TEAM!

I had the opportunity to work with the amazing Astro to Atlantic rowing team  for the Talisker Atlantic Ocean Rowing Race which started in La Gomera and finished in Antigua. The race was 3000 miles and their nutrition was an important part in their race preparation and the race itself. I worked with the team with their nutrition which required a lot of planning and had to cover their nutritional needs for the race and also adhere to race rules. The team were an absolute joy to work with and they all successfully completed the race in  a very respectable second in their category. They are all incredibly brave people in completing this amazing challenge. Please read below the endorsement that they wrote about my work with them:

Endorsement

"We are a team of four women who play hockey together for our local club. In December 2018 we set out from La Gomera Canary Islands to row a 9 metre boat unsupported 3000 miles to Antigua in the Caribbean.

We were lucky enough to have the help of Emily who assisted us with our dietary plans and nutrition both prior to the race during our long hours of training and also on the row itself. Part of the race rules require each rower to have 60 days worth of food with a minimum daily amount of calories, whilst providing a balanced diet with enough of the essential nutrition, vitamins, minerals and fats which is quite a challenge with limited space but with Emily’s extensive knowledge and understanding she ensured we had everything we needed.

We cannot thank her enough for all her help and would thoroughly recommend her.
