I used to spend most my time outside the lab rowing for the Tideway Scullers School and Downing College. I represented Great Britain at the 1998,1999 and 2000 World Championships, winning a silver medal in the lightweight eight in 2000. I then went to the Sydney Olympics as spare man for the lightweight double scull, but ended up competing after Tim Male broke his wrist.
I retired from international rowing in 2001 after racing in the Lucerne World Championships. In 2002, I rowed for Downing, attempting to regain the Mays Headship.
