This coming Saturday (Jan 30) will feature two top lwts erging in Indianapolis:

I post this info for those who might want to see how our heros: Cureton and Randall will do.

https://www.regattacentral.com/index.jsp?tab=regattas

Navigate to Indianapolis sprints and

the Mens Veteran/Golden Eagle (50+) 1x which will be Event #1



Richard Cureton (59 lwt)

Paul Randall (90+ lwt)

Cureton claims to be trained to be ready to go 10 seconds under the current World Record for the 55-59 lights held by Roy Brook of Great Britain.

I haven't heard a claim from Paul Randall. He's the best in his class these days.

As for getting a free ticket to Boston if you are a 55-59 lwt:
The non-altitude qualifying time is:

6:53.0

See all times at:

Hope to post links for two races that went of today:

Indianapolis and Alexandria.

I had two friends who went to the Mid-Atlantic ERg Sprints.
THe early going was slow.. A snow storm was in progress... Will wait to hear more.

The 6:28 59 yr old didn't make it to Indianapolis... Better luck next week.

Thanks for the Mid Atlantic results post!

Always good to hear news about Bob Spousta! I was in the Occoquan Boat Club while stationed (Navy) there. He is an amazing rower, and person! He and I didn't interact much, but we did have a rather unfortunate, uh, "meeting" in the middle of the Schuylkill river one head race day. He only took third in his race as a result and was very gracious when I tried to apologize

I recognize Ken Schuster also, the Schuster brothers there were always pretty good too.
