| 0:00.0 | Hey, folks, welcome to the adventure sports podcast, brand new episode today with Pip Hare. |
| 0:18.8 | She is a solo sailor, and she's the eighth woman in history to ever |
| 0:23.3 | complete the Venday Globe, a solo sailing race around the world, known as the quote Everest of the |
| 0:29.1 | seas. She's been all over the world doing huge races, and today we're talking about the craziness |
| 0:35.4 | involved and the dedication it takes to do something like |
| 0:38.7 | the Venday Globe, a race literally around the world. There is no bigger stage to have a race than |
| 0:45.8 | the globe unless you go into space. That's about the only other format that could be bigger. |
| 0:53.5 | So this is a really cool interview. |
| 0:55.3 | Pip is, uh, it was incredibly interesting to talk to. I really enjoyed, um, just her perspective |
| 1:00.9 | on the whole thing, very cheerful and happy and just made it sound like, you know, a walk in the |
| 1:05.3 | park when really this is one of the most incredible feats of adventure we've ever had on the show, |
| 1:10.4 | frankly. And the fact that she's the eighth woman in've ever had on the show, frankly, |

| 1:23.3 | She's got a website as well, Facebook. |
| 1:32.7 | Hope you enjoy and hope you get out there and do something like the Venday, a round the world solo sailing race. |
| 1:33.5 | Unbelievable. |
| 1:40.9 | All right, folks, welcome to the Adventure Sports podcast. |
| 1:45.5 | Today we are having, it's kind of a unique episode for us. We don't often get to talk to solo sailors. We have had some. We've had some great ones on the show, but it is not as |
| 1:52.1 | frequent as maybe your hikers and bikers where it's, you know, a lot easier to do. This is a very |
| 1:58.3 | specialized skill. I am very excited to welcome PIP |
| 2:02.3 | hair to the podcast. Welcome. Thank you. It's really great to be here. Absolutely. So where's home |
