A brilliant man...

Sadly, Cas Rekers, the inventor of the RowPerfect, passed away yesterday morning in the Netherlands.

I never met Cas, but I feel he deeply influenced my life, even in just the few months I've been training using his brilliant invention.  I frequently heard his voice over Skype as he, Carlos, and Ursula talked, and knew right away he was a very special person--not only because of his ingenuity, but also because of his warmth and kindness.





The RowPerfect has been an incredible breakthrough in my rowing, and I wish I could've thanked Cas personally.  I know he will be in my thoughts every time I get on the erg (and that is quite often!).  THANK YOU, Cas, for being a crucial influence as I work toward my goal.
