The Day Before the Championships

·

A large ash tree beside a calm reservoir under a clear blue sky, with green fields rising on the far bank, four rowers carrying an upturned racing shell overhead across the grass, a white marquee marked "Control Commission" near the water's edge, and racks of white and red hulls lined up on the right.
Rowers and volunteers walking along a gravel path at a regatta, a woman in a yellow bucket hat and a maroon "COLÁISTE IOGNÁID ROWING CLUB" singlet carrying an upturned single scull on her shoulder and a blade in her hand, another rower in an orange "VOLUNTEER" shirt carrying blades ahead of her, a blue "SHANNON ROWING CLUB" gazebo and boat racks to the left, and a white Audi with the registration "GY17 WKM" parked on the right beneath a tractor further up the path.
A long line of boat trailers stacked four high with white racing shells beside a reservoir, the nearest hulls marked "mj flood" and "ITALIA", with crews working on riggers in the middle distance and red, green and blue club gazebos marked "BANN ROWING CLUB" and "Commercial Rowing Club" pitched along the gravel path on the right.

The 114th Irish Rowing Championships begin tomorrow at the National Rowing Centre in Inniscarra, and today Farran Woods was all trailers and trestles. Shells were stacked four high along the path, riggers half bolted on, blades leaning against gazebos from Shannon, Bann, Commercial and a dozen other clubs. A rower in a yellow bucket hat carried a single scull on her shoulder in one hand and a blade in the other, past a tractor waiting to get through. Down at the water a crew lifted an eight overhead and walked it to the bank, and the reservoir was flat and blue behind them.
