Following the Paleo Diet with Rowing Sensation Ursula Grobler
In 2003, Ursula Grobler recreated her life in Seattle. She obtained her bachelor’s degree in Information Design in her native South Africa, and upon graduation moved to the U.S. as an au pair. Having taken a learn-to row class at Greenlake, Seattle, she added to her growing list of challenges a newly learned sport: rowing.
In the short span of four years, she progressed from being a novice rower with an unimpressive erg score to winning the Head of the Charles from a 19th seed in the open women’s single.
Not to mention a silver medal in the lightweight double at the Banyoles World Cup, an impressive 20 seconds win at the Royal Canadian Henley in the Champ single, and a gold medal at the US Nationals in 2008. Her last accomplishment was to break the World Record for the fastest lightweight woman on the Concept 2 Ergometer.
