Whether you say “Twenty-Ten” or “Two thousand Ten” (like I do), there’s no doubt that this year Living Root has once again gotten off to a fabulous start.

We’ve had several new members plus up our ranks and our pool training has gotten intense. With new drills like “The Juice Box,” “The Margo” and a floating evil duck, the Rooters are getting primed and ready for race season.

Although our on the water season may seem far away, it will be here before we know it! Captain P. has predicted a hot summer, and I don’t think I’m alone in hoping he’s right. After last summer’s cloudy and cool evenings, I’m looking forward to seeing the sun again.
