Radcliffe decided to get real cozy with the RBC docks this morning. Pete is probably thinking--"Are you serious???"

Oh, yeah, and probably the most talked about person at the entire event.

Some wildlife from this weekend in New Jersey:

Tess the Corgi makes her first appearance

View from the window of the Extended Stay

And apparently, Mercer is home to all kinds of creatures. Or, to misquote Samuel L. Jackson--"I am tired of these motherf$%^ing snakes in this motherf$%^ing lake".

Matt decided to do some extra resistance training in Jersey.

I thought this was a particular good portrait of Korzo. Some galleries from the weekend have been posted, more to come tonight.

Gevvie Stone was all smiles after winning the women's single at the first selection regatta.

While Warren Anderson was a little exhausted after winning the men's single

And the other RBC lightweight A finalist, Hillary. Galleries will posted eventually. Unfortunately, my hotel's internet connection is awful.

Ladies and gentlemen, your top RBC finisher in the morning time trials, Mr. Skip. Honorable mention to Malyka and Hash for winning the "living on the edge" award. Further honorable mention to TK for driving down to NJ and sitting in traffic on route 1.

You've all done the hard work, time to go kick some ass!

With the first NSR about to get underway, those aspiring to wear these colors could do a lot worse than these two as their role models.

Oh, look, it's Pete.

Teyba Erkesso held on for dear life to win the 2010 Boston Marathon by 3 seconds.

Meanwhile, Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot was floating on air as he smashed the course record by 82 seconds en route to his victory.

Results of my launch excursion this morning--MIT vs. Stanford.

"Uhm, coach, I don't think we need this anymore." We always used to joke that it would take a collision between Harvard and Princeton for us to win the Compton Cup. To see it that actually happen was an entirely different story (though Harvard still won).

Wonder what the pirate heads stand for?

MIT lights throwing down in the powerhouse. In the foreground, I believe, are lightweight frosh who beat Penn and Dartmouth two weeks ago, and Georgetown last weekend.

Look who decided to do some water-level coaching!

Oh, hey, nice to see you too, Mike.

Just so that Jay, Jim, John and Tom(I think) don't feel slighted, a CBC parade.

Keeping up with the rowing theme of this here blog.

Who are we kidding here, it's all about the wildlife. And that's an osprey!

Good luck, Gary! :)

Jeff was getting some coaching from Sean

While Lisa was just enjoying her new single (hopefully less leaky this time).

Oh hey, Amelia. Nice shirt! :)

This morning's bonus: UBC on parade.
Hopefully I'll be able to get back on the water soon--this kind of looks like fun.

Mike Farry!

One of these is decidedly not like the others.

It's like they are related or something...

Now's there's a picture that could have only been taken here!

Look who actually got on the water!

Another hideous day in the basin.

We have alignment. Purely coincidental alignment.

Another amazing CWC (Claire Wallace Creation)--banana upside down cake. Yum.
