Inside the life of Damian Browne from rugby career, defying death and rowing

Former professional rugby player Damian Browne is the first man to row from New York to Galway after 112 days at sea.

The duo hoped to break the world record by rowing the North Atlantic in just 55 days, but unfortunately, Mr Farrell had to call it quits after two weeks at sea.Speaking this afternoon on RTÉ’s News At One, Mr Browne said the entire challenge was a “fight” from start to finish and he is glad to have his feet on “solid ground”.

Former Irish rugby player and friend Brian O’Driscoll said: “Welcome ashore man. Glad to hear you’re safe. What an achievement.” After his achievement on Tuesday, the athlete was reunited with his wife Rozelle Bothma and daughter Elodie. For Damian extreme adventure was the perfect fit for what he aspired to do with the next chapter in life.

Browne’s drive to explore his physical & mental limits is not exclusive to ultra endurance events, as he is a multi-time Irish indoor rowing champion, holding all-time, all-category records for the 500m and 1000m distance.
