Fascinating day on the water with multiple crews working side by side and head-style. The interchangeability of the athletes is good to see and it also indicates that to be exceptional you truly have to exceed the sum of the parts. That was demonstrated on a number of occasions today and I know that we'll respond in a way that furthers our preparations. I was very impressed with our coxswains today who did a wonderful job avoiding the debris floating down the Connecticut. It's not easy rowing on a river that is at nearly 60,000 cubic feet of water per second but the athletes and coxswains are handling it well.
