Our skinny Mike finished yesterday's Boston Marathon in 3 hours 11 minutes and 2 seconds.

31st in his age category.

Congratulations!!!

Pretty good for a 56 year old who claimed - only 2 months ago - he could not come to rowing practice because he could not move his feet.

Hope to see you back in the boat soon!

PS: we asked him why he did not finish in his usual sub 3 hours? Answer: start is too late in the morning and the race too crowded for an optimal (=fast) line. Sounds similar to the Head of the Charles.
