#7. Most Marines can still hear the saying "Your prep time has ended..." echo across the rifle range, no matter how long ago they experienced the qualification process. Well, those words still felt just as real as we approached the start of the 2023 Mini Transat.

Listen to this episode where Jane Millman helps me break down the final preparations for the big race. We discuss the experience of the race village in Les Sables d'Olonne, the departure, and the start of the first leg.

This episode provides some insight into Leg 1 of the Mini Transat, but make sure to check out the full After Action Report (AAR) blog posts coming out soon at https://www.pgnoceanracing.com/blog
