...What collegiate boats would you especially want to beat? AB: We always have the river rivalries--Northeastern and B.U. We were actually able to beat Northeastern pretty badly this past weekend in Rochester, NY, and did really well. We are looking good in terms of river rivalries, but beyond that, Brown was the national championship boat last year and they'll be here so it'll be a good chance to measure off them. I don't even think they graduated that many kids. And also there's a lot of good non-Ivy League schools that have had good...

...Harvard Crimson: What are the differences between a Head race and the sprints? Liz O'Leary: Oh, about 5,000 competitors! No, really, the Head races are three miles in distance, and the spring races are two thousand meters, so depending on how fast your boat is, it's anywhere from a 15 to 17 minute race in the fall as opposed to a seven minute race in the spring. It's also a very different approach--in each event there are 30 or 40 boats, and so you race against the clock, as opposed to being lined up across...

AM: Supposedly, they just kind of build the boat around him. SR: Well, he's incredible. I think a testament to Charlie's success is that he wins with very different groups of guys. I think we won five or six national championships in the 90s and they were obviously all different guys. And the fact that...

...special challenges going into the Head that you're telling your team about? CHARLIE BUTT: It's always a coxwain's race, because there are always radical turns involved, as well as other crews to consider--whether other crews will yield, or if you have to yield to another boat. And there are three miles--small, small problems are magnified by the number of strokes taken in the race. You're probably talking 4 to 500 hard strokes, and one inch in a 500 stroke context is a considerable margin. So small problems will generate large margins...
