The Lincoln Park Boat Club held the 37th Annual Sprints Regatta on July 7 through the 9th in the lagoon that seperates Lincoln Park from Lake Shore Drive.  I was in Maine at a photography workshop during the week, but managed to make it back for Sunday's finals.  The event features 1,000-meter, side-by-side, Henley style racing.  I don't have this year's numbers, but last year, over 1,000 athletes participated, with 27 clubs from 10 states in the chase for victory.
