I have been an oarsman for 10 years. I started rowing at Hampton School and after leaving joined Molesey Boat Club. I have competed for Great Britain at 6 consecutive World Championships at Junior, Under-23 and Senior levels. My medal count currently stands at 3 Bronzes, 2 Silvers and 1 Gold. As well as this extensive international record I have had well over 60 wins in various national races.

I have been keeping fit in all sorts of ways for many years. As well as rowing I enjoy long distance running, cycling and weight lifting and it is these forms of training that I am looking to use to develop the endurance and strength I will need to race 3000 miles across the Atlantic.

I hope to compete in a few marathons before I go, partially to raise more money for my chosen charities but also to give me a series of intermediate targets before the start of the race in November 2005.
