Amazing!

It has been a really incredible couple of days as our regular decision recruits are emailing, calling, and getting in contact about their acceptances to the College - the excitement is really palpable and I think we'll have some tremendous potential and youth added to our program. As matriculation cards are sent back I can begin to write about the new members of our team for next year.

Also, an excellent practice today with a good mixture of technical and physical rowing (they should always be mixed in my mind...) - I think I can continue to do an even better job of defining the precise elements of the stroke cycle that will unlock some of the "easy speed" that we haven't yet found. The physicality of our rowers makes it a little bit more challenging to find a collective impulse because both the negative and positive aspects of each rower's contribution to boat speed is magnified. What a wonderful puzzle...
