One thing led to another, and at the start of the next year’s race, Janice and Ian embarked on what would become the longest first date of their lives.The called themselves ‘Team Oaracle,’ a punny misspelling of the word to reference the oars they were using to race, and to Janice’s habit of picking a daily tarot card to offer a fun insight on the experience.
