Adult Women's Race

On a beautiful sunny winter morning, 30 competitors duked it out to become the AIR-C’s champion!  With technical expertise of Concept 2’s Row Pro system, the race was just as fun for those watching as it was for the athletes on the ergs.  Last year’s event was exclusively an Adaptive Indoor Rowing Challenge (AIR-C), but was expanded this year to bring all community members together.  Marshaled by the G-Row girls, and attended by all levels of competitors, the morning was truly a wonderful representation of the CRI spirit!  Well done rowers!

On April 1st, CRI will once again host the “April Fools Monster Launch Rodeo”!  Past favorites such as the low wake race, and the “Big Turn” will return, as well as new events, such as a “Seat Racing Switch” (still looking for a clever name for that one)

Most exciting though, is that Regatta Northwest, Premier supplier of Survival Suits and other weatherproof outerwear for rowing coaches, has agreed to sponsor the event.  The overall winner of the Rodeo will win a brand new Floatation Jacket!

The Social Innovation Forum has named 25 nonprofit organizations as finalists competing for five $100,000 awards of cash and support services.
