About Aidan Wrenn-Walz
Where did you learn to row and who was your first coach?
Potomac Boat Club in Washington DC, USA - Marco Bovo.
What inspires you about sport?
The camaraderie that develops from the collective pursuit of excellence and a common goal.
Explain your earliest memory of The Boat Race
My parents are rowers, so I have been watching The Boat Race and dreaming of rowing in the Blue Boat for as long as I can remember. We have a lovely tradition of waking up early, making strawberry shortcake and tuning into the TV broadcast from DC.
Do you relish in hours in the gym and miles in the dark, or do you live for race days?
Nothing beats race day!
What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?
Lots of sleep, excellent time management and nutrition, and a 6am Monster (white or mango loco).
