My latest update comes with a warning on the dangers of the over enthusiastic consumption of chocolate bars.
As I look at the time sheet of the first men’s single scull semifinal, I remember different strategies my competitors and I had. In this 2008 semi, Olympic patience is what stands out when I read the times of the top three qualifiers.
I just finished watching the first semi of the men’s single scull and what a nail biter that was. I was carefully watching the Belgian single sculler. Hats off to him
So life can be pretty boring during competition. We are staying out by the course in a hotel. Us, the Canadian team, as well as the American, Italian and Greek rowing teams are all out here in the same hotel.

Gearóid Towey reflects on making weight as a crew and how alluring the Olympic Village dining hall is.
Drew Ginn has updated his blog with a mirror-image post to Duncan Free, his pairs partner. He philosophises about fulfilling your ultimate rowing potential, plus he has some photos.
Duncan Free reflects on the journey he and Drew Ginn have taken to get them to the Olympic Games, and Drew’s back injury.
