This week I happened to walk past the legend that is Mahe Drysdale.
I just couldn't resist shaking his hand and thanking him for being the role model that he is and for all those wonderful Olympic and World Cup moments.
I admit to being star struck and was dwarfed by his physique! He is a seriously solid, tall and fit athlete. Thanks Mahe for being so gracious.
