Dileo Takes on New Partner for Barnegat Bay Challenge But Result Is the Same

Even at 53, Mark Dileo still believes he has what it takes to keep rowing well and winning races.

“The older I get, what I don’t have in terms of physical power I make up for it with technique,” Dileo said following the Ship Bottom Beach Patrol Barnegat Bay Challenge on Aug. 20. “I may not be as strong as I was 10 or 15 years ago, but I’m a better rower because I’ve gotten better at the technique.”
