1. What inspired you to go to your first rowing practice; was there anything memorable about it?
My little brother rowed and I was bored with equestrian so I thought I would try rowing.
2. Was there a practice, race or other event when you fell in love with the sport, or when you knew you might not be too bad at rowing? When you thought you could make the national team?
I liked it from my first practice, but I really fell in love with this sport in 2010 when I raced in the women's u23 8 (as a spare) and we got a bronze medal. Being on the podium I remember thinking "I have to do this again as soon as I can" and "how good would it feel to be on top of the Olympic podium".
3. Best race/practice, worst race/practice?
Best race 2011 lwt 2x final. Haven't had a really memorable bad race, some mistakes for sure, but without them I wouldn't have learned something to help out together a better race next time.
4- Best/Anything you've done in the sport no one knows about?
I trained on the erg mostly by myself for 3 months and in that time did a lot of workouts that even looking back on it now i am not sure how I pulled the numbers and did amount of work that I did.
5- Any/Most important advice for young rowers?
Don't let anyone hold you back. You are the only one that knows how hard you are willing to work.
