I saw your team rowing out of sync, and as we passed I called out that you guys were doing great, and then I heard someone say (about my comment) "I don't think she meant it." You're right. I said it kind of mockingly. And while my team cheered you on, I realized with a jolt how mean my insincerity was. I feel so ashamed. I wish every day for more kindness and compassion in this world. I don't even know what came over me. Just the fact that everybody participating in this race are doing so for a good cause makes each team winners. I didn't mean to take the fun out of it. I hope you see this you can accept my apology. You guys ARE great! Good luck! —Foot in Mouth Paddler
