2nd place is a pretty awesome result for having a 6 month old kicking around the house. :)

13th in the single for me. First time racing the Empacher in the Charles.

U19 Winners from HOTQ.

Shout out to all the volunteers who make HOTQ possible.

Last weekend before rowing Christmas.

Another HOK season in the books. Thank you, Kevin and all the regatta volunteers!

Closeup of the medals

USA and Bermuda, Oxford and Cambridge, Harvard and Penn, Nobles and Belmont Hill, lightweight and heavyweight.

Father daughter time in the power house. What, you don't communicate with your children via a sound amplification device?

Interesting paint job for NU. (Really, just a paint job in progress).

MIT Heavyweights in the power house.

MIT Lightweights in the basin.

Mark launching with the junior HPGers.

Turning and burning at GMH. Both of the guys passed me before the turn. Only one of them passed me back. Most excitement I've ever had at the turn at GMH.

Pre-dawn departure for GMH.

Is this heaven? No, Vermont.

Top three from the women's single at GMH. To the surprise of no one, Gevvie won comfortably, but Cicely and Emily had a pretty great battle for the second step of the podium, which Cicely ultimately got by 2 seconds.

Smart kids.

Paul launches for pieces under a full moon.

"Racing" the MIT lightweights. Cheers to Will and Brendan for coaching their coxswain through passing multiple singles.

HOK 1. It is a beautiful thing.

Barat, looking fairly competent with two oars in his hands. Sure beats erging!!!

Take two with the USW2x went according to plan, with both Gevvie and Cicely present.

One of my favorite photos from the morning

College Uni day.

A true champion can give you some serious side-eye while maintaining perfect bladework.

The squad--TD and Jon and Michelle and Christine.

TD hamming it up for the camera, before the start of practice.

Gregg observes the proceedings.

Linda, Charley and the hidden mastermind.

Heading home.

Just having a chat with Mr. Ames. He complained about the traffic.

That will do donkey, that will do.

Not getting to shoot the sunrise as often means I appreciate it that much more.

More from yesterday with the appropriate Boston mood.
