Season Recap and Henley Bound

I'm going to resurrect the blog after an exciting season of racing. Congratulations to our rowers who put together a team-wide strong effort in bringing us another ECAC and New England Overall Team title and to all of our competitors for making the season so exciting and rewarding. I'll have to add some reflections on the spring for our parents, alums, and recruits because it was a one filled with challenges, triumphs, and defeats.

On another note, I'm leaving for England tomorrow morning to race with the Four Score and Four boat club (Yale lightweight alumni) in the Thames Cup. It's a return to Henley after our last campaign in 2009 and one that I think we're better prepared for...It's amazing that training through the calendar year will be focused on about 12 rowing sessions before we race. With limited opportunity comes great focus and I can't wait!
