In most sports circles, the title of this column would imply that I had achieved two wins in three attempts. After graduating from college, some of the best rowers find that they aren't yet ready to give up the sport. In the U.S., some train at regional clubs like Philadelphia's venerable Vesper Boat Club or Boston's BRC, from which they can then mount a challenge to represent the nation. In any case these athletes train the required 3 to 4 hours a day, and often more, in attempts to become the nation's best. In the United States, training centers are located in Princeton, Augusta, and San Diego, among other cities.
Training camps are in many cases held in a warmer climate during the winter months.
