I live and work in Sweden but I have American and Irish citizenship. In 2019 I bought my first Concept2 rower. It has been a great way to stay in shape and even fun to compare results in the log book. Then in November 2023 I decided it might be fun to try the World and European Indoor Rowing Championships in Prague for 2024. I joined Rowfit and their Row to Prague program to prepare and along the way I even competed in the Swedish National Indoor Rowing Championship and won gold for the open class 500m! At Prague I achieved a European Bronze medal competing with my Irish citizenship and came in 4th for Worlds, both for my age group and the 500m event.
In 2025 I won silver at the Swedish IRCH and double gold at the WRICH for 500m and 2000m for my age group 50-54. In the open WRICH competition I reached the semifinals finishing 27th in the world for 500m and 35th in the world for 2000m.
I've set multiple personal bests since joining and following Rowfit's program and listening to their coaching certainly played a big part in that.
