EP010 – Athlete – Georgie Rowe on Motivation, Performance and Personal Best.

This week on The Mapplife Podcast is current 3 x Rowing World Record holder, Georgie Rowe.

A registered nurse, 2021 Olympic-hopeful Georgie took up rowing in May 2017 after having taken part in the Australian Indoor Rowing Championships in 2016 and being crowned a national champion. Georgie is a prolific surfboat rower, along with paddling surf skis and kayaking but now counts 'flat-water' rowing as her favoured sport.

Georgie was selected to make her Australian Rowing Team debut in 2018, in the Women's Eight for the World Rowing Cups and World Rowing Championships. She went on to win two medals internationally, and then winning the Remenham Challenge Cup at the 2018 Henley Royal Regatta.

Georgie currently holds World Records for the 5km, Marathon and 4 min max. metres on the Indoor Rowing ERG (that machine at the gym we all loathe because of the pain and suffering it puts us through). Georgie also held the World Record in the half marathon (21,000m) which was only just taken from her. At the national level, she holds the records for 2km, 1km, 500m, 5km, half and full marathon, and the 4 min max (some are unofficial).

To say that Georgie is one of the greats of the sport is an understatement – not only for her prowess in the boat but also, and most would say more importantly, out of it. Favoured amongst her teammates, you will come to understand why in this epic interview with Georgie Rowe on The Mapplife Podcast.
