row2k Starting Five: Canada's Lauren Wilkinson"I started rowing when I was eleven years old. Until I was big enough to fit in a single, my Mom and I would go for a ‘fun’ 10km run around the lake while my siblings were busy at practice. I figured that a sport that looked so graceful couldn’t possibly be as strenuous as running with my Mom, who even now is very quick on her feet. Hindsight, eh?" » more
