MEETING THE OCEAN'S NEXT CHALLENGE
2000
Overview
\"I love to race. I love the water, and this is the ultimate challenge,\" Zeigler offers as explanation. \"I may never want to see another oar, or sit on a rowboat seat, or see [Tom Mailhot], again after the race is over.\" And then, Zeigler, a 50-year-old with a chiseled physique and the steely demeanor of a state trooper, laughs from his gut because he knows that not even the prospect of sore buns or a friendship damaged from overexposure is enough to keep him from passing up the monumental thrill of going up against his fellow man, the wiles of nature, and himself. Zeigler, 200 pounds of muscle, works out on a rowing machine every day. (The race is likely to melt away 20 percent to 30 percent of every entrant's body weight). On weekends, he and Mailhot take a brief break from working on the boat to practice rowing in another of Zeigler's self-built boats. In August, Zeigler ferried the unfinished boat to Essex, Mass., an area of the country more hospitable to ships, shipbuilding, and ship fanatics. He now makes the nine-hour round-trip drive there every weekend to help Mailhot finish the sanding and fairing, which is critical for the boat to sail as straight and smoothly as possible.
