Kelsey Pfendler Great Pacific Race with Hericane Rowing…Ep144

Since she was 18 years old, Kelsey Phendler has been working on water and in boats of all kinds. She’s been a professional Grand Canyon Boatman and River Guide for ten years, where she rows boats loaded with gear and passengers along 226-mile trips in every weather condition imaginable from spring through fall. Kelsey also currently pilots motorboats for the United States Geological Survey fish study group. She is now preparing to row from San Francisco to Hawaii with her Hericane Rowing teammates in the Great Pacific Race. This race will certainly be a huge challenge, but Kelsey is no stranger to the perseverance needed to smile in the face of physical and environmental adversity so she’s looking forward to this year of planning and preparation. Working with a strong group of women is exactly where Kelsey thrives. She believes training to break the Women's Ocean Rowing World Record alongside her strong teammates Sierra Myers and sisters Jennifer and Kristen Hofer will be a deeply transformational experience. They all share that same dream!
