[wyattwyatt]

hi izzz,

i did one of my late/early rows last night (10k+ at 11pm and then another 10k+ after midnight) and after i logged each row i found i was exactly 200 meters behind you.

so...

i went back to the basement at almost 1am (really!) and set the pm4 for 200 meters just so i could pull up along side of you and say hello and thanks for all your great enthusiasm and encouragement as team captain. i'm certain you'll soon leave me in your wake, but for right now, we're tied!

take care,

wyatt

Sorry for my lame rowing so far. In my defense I was out of town (NCAA wrestling) and feeling a little under the weather (seasonal allergies). But I promise to try to do better. Impressed with all of the rest of you. Great to be back in a challenge actually - its great motivation for me.
