...participants form a motley but impressive menagerie. A yellow, diamond-headed retro pick-up leaves a black Corvette limping along behind it to the finish line. Lake a scene from a surreal self-help movie, "Impatience" is neck and neck with the blue and red "Mid-Life Crisis." The motorcycles--mostly garishly-colored Japanese makes interspersed with the occasional squat, old Harley--are faster than most of the cars, occasionally breaking the 10-second barrier, and their starts are more impressive, the drivers in tight leather racing suits rising up and leaning far out over the handlebars like sprinters before...

We approach inner peace as the rowers transcend individuality to form, in the memorable words of a former Harvard crew legend, "a nautical engine vastly more powerful than the sum of its parts," the synchronous clicking of their oarlocks suggesting a driving collective pulse...
