Great stuff! Nice to see so many of the team assembled for Evesham (I know, I know, I should have been there too). The AIOs look pukka. I'll get myself one of those once I have lost enough weight to look less like Michelin Man.

If a sloooowwww rower from the US happened to be there on holiday at the time of the race, would they be allowed to enter?<br /><br />Thanks -- Mark

Of course you could enter, and you would be very welcome too.<br /><br />Sir Pirate

As I get older, I look for any reason to travel (and work less). This would be one great reason!<br /><br />Thanks Phil!<br /><br />Regards -- Mark

Am I right? They're all probably too absorbed with their training to break form, ehh?

Near World Record I'd say. I would have been even more impressed if he'd had the 5 pints BEFORE 1:45 PM!<br /><br /> <br /><br />-- Mark<br />
