Thanks Plummy. Are the results listed anywhere? I tried googling, but couldn't find them. I know they must be available somewhere as Anna Lewis was kicking up a big song and dance about them on Facebook. :roll:

Paul, you can find the results here:

http://www.euro-open.eu/inhoud/results

The age categories follow the rules of otw rowing, for example:

Juniors:
J16: under 16
J18: under 18

Seniors:
SB: under 23
SA: unlimited

Veterans:
VA: 27 years or older
VB: 36 years or older
VC: 43 years or older
VD: 50 years or older
VE: 55 years or older
VF: 60 years or older
....

L stands for lightweight (obviously), V stands "veteran" (all age categories over 27 years), D stands for "Damen" (ladies), N stands for "neu" (beginners), S stands for "senior" (over 18), J stands for "junior" (under 18 or 16).

So if you go to the VD category for example (male, hwt, 50-55) you'll find Free Spirit Morten Haugseng who came in third with 6:32.8 in a very competitive field. Well done Morten! =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>
Athletes row, others just play games

Thanks Paul, Wolfmiester & Sander. I am quit pleased with the result. A good test before the Norwegian IRC the 7th of February (unfortunately the same date as BRIC) maybe it is possible to og sub 6.30 :-)

A great day of racing, Gillian, Roger & Morten! Best wishes for the next event(s)!

It was very interesting to see the video. I would like to attend a race with massage tables set up. Looks like a nice venue altogether.

Congratulations!
