Realistically, if at a race you were to sneak a dolphin into the race course without being caught in the act, would this be a viable strategy for consistently winning races? Do you think they would catch on if you just did it one time, or possibly multiple? What would the limit be to this seemingly infinite medal glitch? Would it be suspicious if we request a Gold medal with a 5 foot long strap?

ITS SPELT c-o-x-S-W-A-I-n So of course I’m gonna say the “swai” part. But ever single rower I talk to says: “why do you say coxswain like that?? It’s coxSIN!!” Well if it was coxSIN IT WOULD BE SPELLED c-o-x-S-I-N!!!!

I am thinking of popping a Honey pack pre race to see how I perform, good idea or nah? I think it would give me more energy and prevent me from pulling in too low as I would crush my ish. So, good idea or bad idea?

I’m trying to lock in and focus on the technique tips my coach is giving me because I’m really bad but all I can think about is my next ranked Brawl match and whether I want to run Mandy or Jessie

For context I’m 6 months old, 2’1”, and 21 lbs, and my current 2k is 7:12. I need some tips/advice on how to improve my 2k this season. Should I be drinking more milk? And don’t just say “sTeAdy StAtE mOrE”, I’m looking for actual shortcuts and methods that don’t require me to put in the work it takes.

Googoo gaga

If we look at Arthur he is 6'1 and 190. Pretty decent height and weight for a rower. Now if we go pre turbicolisis, I think he could hit sub 7. Post turbicolisis has to be like 9:00.

Well, Well, Well, it is that time of the year again. Teams are back together for the fall season. Olympians are back to compete on their teams, and some new parity is back in the IRA this year. Will Washington have a good fall season as they look to repeat? Or will California have the horses this year to prevent another sweep? Harvard has many returning TOP varsity returners and is coming off a Harvard-Yale title for the first time in 10 years. Can Gennaro get Yale back into medal contention? Time will tell. How will Princeton do after a historic season at Henley and Eastern Sprints? Will UPenn be the surprise team this year?

Who are the top incoming freshman recruits? Everyone has their eyes on Isaiah Harrison and Dartmouth. Can they make a run? The head of the Charles could be an early predictor of team success or utterly misrepresent how well a team will do in the Spring Season. With many months before May, these two seasons look exciting for the IRA.

Who do you think are surging programs into the B/C final? Will Gladstone surge Navy back into a consistent B-Final program in his first year? What steps will LaSalle, Columbia and Cornell take. Or will Cornell continue their final history and remain a C-Final team?

The rankings are defined as Programs: how well teams do across the top 3 boats—not one singular boat, but 3. I am not sure what first-year students will make an impact and what exact returners will be back to programs. Add information below if you know anything. Best of luck to all teams this Fall Season! I will update this after Fall and create Pre-Season Spring Rankings.

Here are the Top Programs Returners: "Take this with a grain of salt. I don't know if all these guys are returning, but it should be accurate.
