I'd like to highlight a result today at the Passaic River Rowing Association Erg Championships in New Jersey:
three-year-old Max Cenit's 500m race (time something like 12:20, but who cares).
Despite a stroke length of about 15"

, Max not only insisted on racing like his mother had just done, but insisted -- vehemently -- on toughing out every last meter. Somehow I think we haven't heard the last of him....
