The opportunity to get better every day.
Explain your earliest memory of The Boat Race
I didn't know what it was until I got to university!
Do you relish in hours in the gym and miles in the dark, or do you live for race days?
Hours in the gym. A good race day is nice too.
What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?
Consistent work. Catching up at the end, in both training and academics, is much more difficult than staying consistent.
