that i consider the day i finished my tough rowing and keep myself free of loneliness to be one of my most unforgettable experiences. being the youngest female ever to row alone across the atlantic ocean, i was constantly faced with the same question: how did you survive that daring adventure? you are an only 20-year old youngster and you row an 18-foot boat for 70 days through those strong winds and violent waves?to be honest, for me, the physical challenge was not the toughest one. before making my mind to row across the atlantic, i had trained myself hard: cycled 3,300 miles, run across the mojave desert on my own, and swum the 325-mile length of the allegheny river. no, the most demanding part would be mental: how would i deal with the terrible loneliness and the boredom on the vast sea for such endless hours and hours? i set off on january 1st and my first aim was to swim past the quarter-way mark, which would take about 20 days. i made it on january 20, a gray and cloudy day. i had thought to do something to celebrate my first goal such as treating myself to a chocolate bar or something else. but i didnt. i was suffering a lot from unbearable boredom and loneliness of the long sea journey. eating, rowing, sleeping, staring at the sky, watching the ocean. it seemed to feel the same every day. just imagined i hadnt seen any landing at least more than two weeksminute after minute, hour after hour, day after day, then that expected day cameat last! it was around dusk, i noticed something move on the horizon. yes, some dolphins! they approached me and swam around my boat. suddenly i felt so blessed. they had arrived to keep me company and helped to celebrate, just when i extremely needed them! for the next 15 minutes, i did row at full speed with all my strength with those lovely creatures around. by the time they were to leave me and we parted and went our separate ways, i was not lonely any more. after 70 days and five hours at sea, i finally reached my final destination. i was proud that i made it, all 2,817 miles, which helped to raise $70,000 for the blue planet run foundation, an organization for funding drinking water. ive been told some athletes struggled to get through just by imagining the end during the whole process. but for me, what creates wonders is to focus your mind on the moment, where you experience the personal growththose moments of awareness of being connected to the sun, the weather, and the waves. and, on the best day of my life, i had to admit those dolphins really freed me from terrible loneliness.28. which of the following belongs to part of preparation for the row? a. biking across the mojave desert b. running 3,300 miles cross-country c. swimming the 325-mile length of the river
