Our women's sweeps are also fairly handy with two oars. And were super excited about the Foot of the (other) Kevin

Mt. Auburn St--"I woke up like this".

Radcliffe running the basin this morning

Late afternoon sunshine hitting Beacon Hill.

The rarely seen starboard side, because they insist on making right handed point and shoot cameras.

The two wheeled wagon is not as steady as a four or eight wheeled one.

And you thought scullers were cray-cray.

Sun's down, traffic's up.

As you can see, NYC is just a teeny-weeny bit bigger than Boston.

Charley, scouting the basin.

Caught the sunrise with JetBlue on Thanksgiving morning.

Cartier takes Christmas seriously.

But not quite as seriously as Saks.

Off to NYC today. Thankful for friends, family, and this little river of ours that's responsible for both of the above.

NU women taking some late-season strokes in the basin

Orion slowly rising above the skyline tonight.

Friends don't let friends go into the basin alone in November

It is often worth it once you get there, though.

Assistant coach Twiggs not enjoying the winter season

Dusk settling over the basin.

Nice job Mary at today's lightweight scrimmage, 19:06 is pretty fast for November

And so is the 17:59 that Matt put up. And congrats to all who raced, and avoided the rain and wind... until the paddle back.

Mulvey and Friends before the foot

Not a bad day for a stake race.

MIT out in the basin last week.

The cliffs of Cambridge.

Hard core? Sure. Sane? TBD. :)

Pre dawn patrol.

Nothing exciting ever happens at the Foot of the Charles.

Sun setting over the basin tonight.

I salute you, MIT novice woman, as (I think) the only person not to wear sleeves on Saturday.

Oh yes, mockery at its finest.

There is absolutely no doubt that the Charles River is mocking all of us who rowed on Saturday morning, hard. (Joke's on it, though, I went rowing at 3pm on Sunday, too).

Not winter if the HOCR banners are still up?

Dear college athletes of New England, the Charles River is most definitely mocking you.

And so am I, but not nearly as much. And yes, that is a t-shirt.

Bruno took the Men's Four

Harvard took the Men's Eight

Radcliffe has the coolest boat on the Charles. And they won the Women's Varsity Eight

BU took the Women's Varsity Four

And BC took the Novice Eight

BC High at sunset last night

Sunrise today wasn't so bad, either.. Minus the white caps.

BC catching rays (and a bit of frostbite this morning)

Winter is definitely coming

Cruising up to Anderson

Fall is happening.

Hannah and Claire in the basin last week.

Don't be deceived by the location of the pink clouds, this actually is sunrise.

On this edition of post-marathon Monday, the headline obviously goes to Shalane Flanigan, the first American winner of the New York City Marathon since 1977, pictured here running with the (then) three time defending champion Mary Keitany.

The silver bullet, Marcel Hug eventually dropped John Charles, and won by 2 minutes

Fellow Swiss competitor Manuela Schar had already separated from the pack on the way up 1st Ave.

On the other hand, men's winner Geoffrey Kamworor (white top) was very much in the middle of the pack, reflective of his eventual 3 second win

Former MIT and USNT coxwain Stephen Young ran a blistering 2:45.

But really, it's "regular" people that make the race


And some overcome far more obstacles than others.

The tribe is strong (and has great facial hair)!

This guy was pretty excited.

Parting shot of the elite women heading up 1st Ave.
