 There are plenty of stories about victory at the Boston's head of the Charles Regatta. We have the ones that brag about it, the ones that celebrate it, and then we have the sincere emotions of stars Petty Mitchell, Cameron Sinclair, and their charismatic coach, Joe Dobson. I only raced once. That was 51 years ago. I spent 25 years in the Navy driving destroyers, got back into rowing in 1989, and been coaching since then. Dobson started training Mitchell and Sinclair three years ago. They competed in one of the para-rowing categories of the Regatta. Petty has a disability where she has her left leg fused from her hip all the way down to her ankle. Cam, who's the stroke of the boat, he is a neurological issue where his legs go to sleep when he sits down, he just can't use them. Not longer after the races started, Mitchell and Sinclair were already ahead of their rivals. And here they go! It is Mitchell and Sinclair! Well, the experience of today was a great one. We got up around five o'clock in the morning, got to BU. We had a short time where we did some warm-up. We tried to do a visualization, but it ran out of time. And then we're in a situation where we talked over what we're going to do. They went out on the water, and this is where, as a coach, I feel very helpless because they're gone, my puppies have left the kennel, what am I going to do? Well, he didn't have to do much at that point. Mitchell and Sinclair won the Regatta and received the gold medal for the third year in a row. Hugs, smiles, greetings, and another victory for them to take home. It's Canada for Sinclair, Florida for Mitchell. The collection for Coach Dubson will be towards the success of their team and the sparkle of a gold medal that also belongs to him. Emilio Domenic, BU News Service.
