...fall and winter practice, each oarsman is sustained only by the distant image of racing season. As a result, those long hours of pre-season rowing--in a racing shell, in an indoor rowing tank, on an "unpleasant machine" called the ergometer--develops in each oarsman a formidable mental drive that will be focussed, months later, into a six-minute race...
...especially effective in his cultivation of a winner's psychology. Doug Wood '79 comments, "With his laid-back style Harry puts together an intensity in workouts that a loud coach wouldn't be able to produce.

But in the overall plan of my life I budget for that." As a novelist, Hermitage is intrigued by her economics of the heart. As a man, he is smitten with a case of middle-age rut: He settles into a daily routine: a soul-searching chat with the dying mother, a brisk workout in bed with the daughter, and then back to the writing table...
