Congratulations on another fine win Andreas. I was watching with a group that was focusing more on their friend Sango (Andy Sangster), and alternated my attention between him and your RowPro uniform. As testament to the high quality of the field, Sango tied his PB with a time several seconds faster than a silver medal performance he did a couple of years ago but only finished 5th.<br /><br />You are certainly "The Man" in your division. <br /><br />Rick
