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!
