SPORTS: I am madly in love with the sport of rowing. I have just ended my second year in the sport. I row for the Durham Rowing Club and have attained the status of "resident stroke". I stroke the eight (8+), the quad (4x-), the four (4+), the double (2x-) and the pair (2-). Even though I stroke (and therefore row port) I am also capable of rowing starboard without much sacrifice to performance. I feel that sculling (rowing with two oars) is much more fun than sweeping (rowing with only one oar) because it is more of a challenge and it gives a better workout. I have the option of practicing in a single (1x), but when it comes to racing, I have not raced in one yet. Hopefully next year, I?ll have enough money saved to buy a single for myself!
Some other sports I do are horseback riding, rugby for my highschool and shot-put.
