Getting into rowing
Cath learned to row &#;very inauspiciously and very unintentionally&#;, as she describes it, as a student at Pembroke College, Cambridge in &#;I wasn’t sporty at school, my reports said I wasn’t sporty and my family wasn&#;t sporty. I was tallish but I only shot up quite late on and I felt awkward and self-conscious so it definitely wasn’t my thing. There were other things I was good at like music so when I went to university I really wanted to do that and to get into all the debating stuff at the Union and so when I went to the freshers fair where they have all the clubs and someone from the rowing stall came up with a clipboard and said tried to persuade me to give it a go, I said, &
