This weekend was very exciting for my neck of the woods. Right here in Cambridge/Boston, the Head of the Charles, or Charles Regatta was held right on the river that divides the two cities. Tons upon tons of people poured down to the river banks to watch the boats race against the clock.
I caught the first days events during a morning run and stopped on a few bridges to watch a couple heats pass underway. Age groups from youth to 70+, teams from all over the world, and former olympians all participated in the event. The pure numbers and stats are enough to get you excited, but watching the boats stealthily glide over the water, the teams moving in unison with one another and the coxswain yelling with all they've got from the front of the boat will make you cheer and scream with the best of em
