Oh, by the way, my name is Stefan Gajie, want to make sure the commentator (@Joseph Wright) pronounces the last name properly because since the review of the stream my wife and bro-in-law are having a laugh at the last name being pronounced Gage, like Cage

...It's actually pronounced Gaj-ee...kindly save me the insults, lol, thanks.

Brother, you're good. We all make mistakes. I've been involved in sports all my life so it's all good with me except GD if you know what I mean. The rest are just words like orange, dog, pussy cat etc.

Thanks bro...

@Joseph Wright While on the subject of last names, I noticed that you pronounced my last name "Day-veez" during the race the other night... while I would say this is correct, at least in North America, I learned recently that in Wales (and most of the UK as well apparently) it should be pronounced "Day-viss". Did you adjust your pronunciation for us across the pond, or did I get bad intel?

Agreed, but I think they were both just kidding around and meant nothing by it so no harm.

I sure was kidding around and just thought I'd let it be known to everyone else that my name is not Gage. Of course we super appreciate @Joseph Wright sacrificing so much for us, how could that even be overlooked? It's not like we're paying the guy and I'm no cheap ass smuck either. Like a user said after the race the other night, if we had to buy him a beer in the process we don't mind one bit.

Of course we were just throwing some banter around. I appreciate the way you guys all think I dedicate all of my free time doing this. Believe me, at 2am on Tuesday morning, I have nothing better to do

In all seriousness, I really do appreciate you taking the time to say thank you. Even though I don't reply all the time, I do read everyones messages, even if I'm not part of the conversation, and what some of you guys have said has warmed my heart. I might just do it again next week now

I couldnt think straight. I will be well rested for this one!

And just for the record, my last name is pronounced Fitzpatricksen. It's spelled the same as yours but the midwestern accent makes it come out all different.

If you reread my post you'll see I was curious why he didn't mispronounce my name, as I would have expected him to. It was merely something curious I noticed and I asked in the interest of expanding my catalogue of useless language tidbits.

Anyway, either way it's OT and beside the point: Thanks @Joseph Wright for staying up late and for your excellent work! It's too bad you can't do more North American races!

I watched the broadcast after the race and I cringed at my performance. Everytime it cut to me I was going over the grass or facing the wrong way haha.
