Conditions: Another trials morning, another light headwind. Throughout the racing, the wind was gentle enough that it didn't really cause any noise, but steady enough that it could carry distinct sounds a mile and a quarter and change. In the lightweight eight at the start of racing, you could hear the Riverside coxswain almost to the finish line from the starting pontoons. All morning, you could hear the cheers from the shore, as well as the horn blasts as each crew crossed the finish line.
The headwind had other effects as well; in one of the coxed fours, the bowman was seen to laugh apparently without provocation; a second later, the two man muttered "Dear God;" then the stroke man said "What the hell…" Something in the air…
Row2k was at the starting line today taking the photos that appear in today's Trials galleries, so I could not comment confidently on what it took some of the crews to get themselves over the line first today, but just looking at the times, there were a number of closed-water finishes, which may promise some heater finishes tomorrow – and maybe Monday.
Back at the start, Steve Tucker pulled into the gates amid some fairly large men, but a David and Goliath story was not in the offing as Wyatt Allen and Mike Perry ran away with the race.
The light women's quad was a two-boat Undine vs. Vesper cage match – talk about nearly primal rivalries, whew.
There were a bunch of one-boat "finals;" in these cases, the crew has to show up, weigh in if it's a lightweight crew, and take a shot down the course, to ensure against mail-order crews nabbing trials wins without even having to row. Since none of the crews beat the time standard today, subsequently the crews will try to beat the time standard by Wednesday, but they don't have to row a second final per se.
It also looks like there may be a tailwind on Monday morning, so we may see more than one crew take a shot down the course; I'm not entirely sure if that is an option.
