...thrilling fact that boats do not actually race against each other, but against the clock (or more specifically, TAG Heuer, the "official timekeeper" of the regatta) does not prevent crowds from gathering happily on the River's banks to cheer a random boat while munching on overpriced fried dough. Many decide to ignore the race altogether, choosing instead to peruse the booths lining the streets, picking up everything from free corporate paraphernalia to sample sticks of shish kabob...

Head coach Gordon Hamilton decides the members of his boats through ergometer testing, and puts his crew on the machines frequently. "We have absolutely no chance of winning," he says. "I hope we can beat a couple of the crews who beat us last year. We just barely lost to Cornell and Dartmouth last year and I'd like to beat B.U., Columbia and Rutgers." The women's coach, Susan Lindholn, has been pushing her regimen hard. She too does...
