You win or you learn. Of course not the result we were hoping for but we gave it everything and for that I am so so proud

Yeah lightweights!!! Lightweights don't often get to win Henley, but this year both doubles managed it. Some awesome racing, both in the rounds leading to the final and the final itself

This meant a lot. Third Blue Boat win for me on the tideway, breaking the record I set in 2017. Thank you to Paddy and my crew for making this magical. 📸 @row360

If someone had told me four years ago I would be U23 World champion and Bronze medalist at Senior Worlds I would have laughed at them because I didn’t even know what rowing was.

Think the Boat Race, except it's six singles. An incredibly tight race and so pleased to take the win today in the Wingfield Sculls.

It was a pleasure to speak at my old school today. Lots had changed, but the enthusiasm certainly hasn't!.
We welcome alumni & Olympian @imogendaisyg to @SPFSeniors today for an inspirational assembly & a fantastic GCSE PE lesson to our Yr10 on sports psychology @SPFSchools

This ⬇️⬇️⬇️."I am not saying ‘it’s only taking part that counts’ – it’s about pursuing excellence in a way that has integrity and a framework of values and purpose. And seeing success as more than a short-lived, short-term moment in time.".
It's a long time ago but reflections on what it means to be an Olympian continue & connect with changing narratives we have seen from brilliant athletes in Tokyo #sensemaking #performance #meaning #purpose #redefinesuccess #morethanmedals #thelongwin

I'll let you into a little secret - I don't always stretch after ergos, even though I should. Thankfully, I had a lovely @ErgosZoom group today to witness that I did! I already feel better for it.

I've got a few prints left from what I made over the summer in Tokyo. I'm at Henley Royal this week, so if you'd like one, donate at least £10 to charity and let me know!

One of the mantras in training for a boat race is 'its never cancelled' so you go out in anything, no matter what. Really sad news to see that the squads won't be able to show the result of all their hard work. The right decision, not an easy one.
As a result of the current situation with Covid-19, The Boat Race on 29th March has been cancelled. This decision is based entirely on our concern for the welfare of our crews, our spectators, our staff and volunteers.

The biggest women's stage race didn't have live coverage this year. Imagine if the women's boat race just had 'highlights'.
Elizabeth Banks: What’s the point of having a race if it’s not on TV?. The UCI need to 'put their money where their mouth is'.

Join me for some (or all) of my session tomorrow morning, some relaxed UT2.
We're back on the Road to Tokyo tomorrow morning - training alongside @imogendaisyg as she puts in the miles before the Olympics. She'll be doing 70 minutes UT2 from 8am. Join her for any part of it - from the start, in the middle, or into the end. 37 have signed up so far.

Just like dogs, humans can get chocolate (theobromine) poisoning. A fatal dose would require eating about 10 kg of chocolate at a time.

Some great advice here!.
One of our hosts was asked on email, following a session, whether he had any advice regarding keeping fit in your 50s. His reply was, I thought, so good that I asked him if I could screenshot it and tweet it out. Here it is.

Over 160 videos deep and counting.
To simplify following the criminal justice news of the last 36 hours, I posted a set of 10 links to police brutality videos on Facebook . Can't do that here, obvs. So I'm putting them into a thread.
