On her pre-Games routine I usually get up at 5am with my son – he’s my natural alarm clock these days – and spend an hour or two in the morning playing with him and getting ready for the day. I then drive out to training for 8am – I live about 20 minutes from the training facility. We spend one to two hours rowing in the morning – that first row is a long aerobic row and for me, that’s a really good time of the day to zone in, clear your head and get mentally right.
It’s so peaceful being out on a beautiful stretch of water first thing. The mindful aspect of rowing is one of the main reasons why I love it. I love going to the gym, I love training and I love being strong.
It’s the best part of my job: being a strong woman. On what makes her feel confident My hair is my pride and joy. It’s a work in progress, but I love to go and get my hair cut off.
I had long hair for a long time but when I came out as queer, I cut it shorter. It was a really liberating experience because it challenged what femininity means to me, and what being a woman meant. I feel most confident when I look good, from the clothing that I wear to how I do my hair.
It makes me feel confident when I’m on the start line. On her beauty game As I’m doing an outdoor sport, skincare is huge for me. As the years have gone by, I’ve been able to wear less make-up [than when I was younger] because I feel more confident in my own skin.
I was buzzing when Fenty announced they were partnering with.
