ALLISON HUNT

I found rowing in 1980 after I had destroyed my knee vaulting, gymnastics on horseback; or more specifically, twirling around on galloping horses.  I rowed a few seasons in high school then returned to my first love of horses.  After a 30 year break from rowing, two human children and a career as a competitive master swimmer, I came back to rowing in 2010.  I returned to my roots at Los Gatos Rowing Club joining the woman competitive group.  By education I have a MS in Clinical Psychology and am a Marriage, Family Therapist.  I have multiple certifications in nutrition and currently practice as a health coach.  I love, breed, and occasionally show a rare breed dog, the Danish-Swedish Farmdog.

I have rowed and raced many places throughout the world and am undecided whether I love racing or the journey more.  One thing is for sure, I absolutely love and adore my team mates and have had the honor to race with the best rowing athletes in the world in many boat classes.   I do my best to always live this:  “Be strong when you are weak, Be brave when you are scared, Be humble when victorious, Be BADASS EVERYDAY”.
