In preparation for the 2010 IUPUI Regatta, Jim Bleeke, Chris Simpkins and I went downtown to the Indianapolis Canal Walk to practice our rowing skills this past Tuesday. The weather was absolutely beautiful and we had a wonderful time practicing. Chris Simpkins is an excellent rower and Jim Bleeke has really stepped up his game this year and will make an excellent teammate. Below you can check out some pictures from our practice.
The 2010 Regatta is scheduled for September 25 and will include approximately 80 4-person teams. Two of the rowers will start and row to a trade point. The remaining two rowers then paddle back to the starting point to finish the race. Jeb Crandall and Carol Dillon will start the race for the SweetinBleeke Team and then Chris and Jim will close the race. Jim’s daughter, Christina, is the 2010 Student Chair for the event and this is the second year SweetinBleeke has been a team participant and financial supporter of the IUPUI Regatta.
The purpose of the IUPUI Regatta is to create a signature event for IUPUI that brings together students, alumni, faculty, staff, friends and families in and around the Indianapolis community for a day of fun and friendly competition. Proceeds from the event will go toward a scholarship fund for undergraduate students at IUPUI. Only students, faculty, staff, and alumni of Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis and IU alumni residing in central Indiana are eligible to participate in the Regatta as paddlers. Luckily we have plenty of IU grads in our office!
