...risk to a man who is perhaps not in the best of condition, or who has perhaps some slight physical imperfection. This should not be allowed to happen you will say, and should not be considered. It has happened, however, more than once. It is a very difficult matter to prepare a crew so that all the men in it are in the best condition, because while it is very necessary for the men to row in the same places for a considerable time before the race, it is not best for all the men to do the same amount...
