About Carys Earl
Where did you learn to row and who was your first coach?
Caius Boat Club, Tim Schmalz.
What inspires you about sport?
The opportunity to continually work towards improving performance goals while training and competing alongside like-minded athletes; working through challenges to come out stronger and with closer friendships.
Explain your earliest memory of The Boat Race
Sitting in the kids section of Waterstones book shop (must have been about five or six years old) and found a children's book about The Boat Race with interactive pages including a page where you could move the two boats along the course.
Do you relish in hours in the gym and miles in the dark, or do you live for race days?
Race days are definitely most exciting but I enjoy (most of) the training in the lead up.
What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?
Being very organised and productive, enjoying what you do as well as the ability to fall asleep anywhere anytime.
