Saturday in Boston

Pretty cold and cloudy this morning as I write this from 'Hotel NESCAC' - crews from Wesleyan and Colby are staying at a hotel past the finish line along with representatives from St.Catherines RC and Prairie Rowing Association. Pretty fantastic to see crews gather from all around the world for a shot at the race course.

Registration was much improved and far simpler than last year - well done Head of the Charles organizers!

Also dropped off Coach Gluckman at the race course for his race with Motley BC and then will head back later on to race with Blue Cheese BC. After last year's three crashes with Harvard Law we hope to have a cleaner run down the course.

On the recruiting stand point we've had some wonderful responses from those who have visited so far and if you are debating about your collegiate choices please don't hesitate to contact us.

Head of the Charles Coming Up

Back on the mic and hope that our faithful Trinity rowing followers can forgive the non-communication on the blog in these past two weeks.

Quick recap: We have been making good progress from the Head of the Riverfront to the Head of the Housatonic and are now aiming towards the Head of the Charles. It's a little bit of an oddity in that we only have one crew entered after last year and were denied a College 4 and College 8 additional entry in the lottery. Tough draw!

A. Incredibly positive recruit visits in these past few weeks.
B. Our new truck has arrived and will be operational next week
C. Have heard back from all of our study abroad students and they are doing amazing things in France, Scotland, Ghana, and Australia - we can't wait to have them back in our boats as well!
D. The water has been spectacular on the Connecticut River.

Tanks today

Split squad practice today - one group in the morning for on the water practice. This afternoon we'll have the other half of the squad in the tanks for video, lifting, and ergometer work.
We're over twenty rowing sessions in and we're starting to make significant progress in the realm of technical and physical development.

On the very near horizon - the Head of the Riverfront on the Connecticut River in East Hartford. It's one of the larger events in the northeast with nearly 500 separate entries. Can't wait to see you there.
