RE: [garmasters] Southern Sprints Results

Let the record books show it is because the 70 year old got a big handicap! As a novice to rowing competitions, I object to the way they stop "masters" at 39 and lump us older folks into one "veteran" category instead of continuing the masters age groups like they do in running or swimming! Classed as a "veteran heavyweight" makes us 50 year old ladies sound like ancient boxers...BIG ancient boxers at that. (Can you tell I am really just miffed because my time tied me for first place until the handicap bumped me to third?)
We all had a lot of fun and many thanks go to to Justin and Jen for their encouragement and the erg workouts on Tuesday and Thursday nights!
And if anyone hasn't seen it before, the erg relay event is an amazing spectacle.
