The Boat Race
Whilst at Oxford University, Hodge was a member of Oxford University Boat Club and took part in The Boat Race in 2005. Both universities had extremely strong intakes that year, with Cambridge boasting several world champions and the Oxford crew including Olympic silver medallist Barney Williams and current coxless four teammate Peter Reed. Oxford, stroked by Hodge, won the epic contest by 2 lengths in a time of 16 minutes 42 seconds.
