Rebecca again with another quick regatta report. This morning REI hosted the Dam-to-Dam regatta on Tempe Town Lake, a regatta featuring human-powered craft of all sorts (but mostly kayakers and rowers). This is a pretty low-key event, more about the chance to hang out with other boaters than about guts and glory and speed.

The Outlaws had small representation in the event in a double (Ryan and Rick), and in a women’s 4+ (myself in a Tempe Town Lake boat, wearing Outlaw colors). Both boats completed the 10,000-m course in good time and enjoyed some sunny, warm weather that verged on too warm (85 degrees and climbing), which led to more than a few new blisters. But a good time was had by all.
