About Hugh Lohan
Where did you learn to row and who was your first coach?
Dublin University Boat Club (Trinity College Dublin) - Charlie Cunningham, Colin Daly, and Mike Ryder.
What inspires you about sport?
It lets you explore and push your limits.
Explain your earliest memory of The Boat Race
I had no connection to the sport before I started as a novice during my undergrad, but I was pretty quickly brought up to speed on the history of the event that year by my teammates.
Do you relish in hours in the gym and miles in the dark, or do you live for race days?
It's all good!
What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?
Time management and task prioritisation are important. If it is not progressing your academic or sporting goals, there is not a lot of time for it.
