		<title>2010 Pool Workouts and Rubber Duckies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whether you say &#8220;Twenty-Ten&#8221; or &#8220;Two thousand Ten&#8221; (like I do), there&#8217;s no doubt that this year Living Root has once again gotten off to a fabulous start.
We&#8217;ve had several new members plus up our ranks and our pool training has gotten intense.  With new drills like &#8220;The Juice Box,&#8221; &#8220;The Margo&#8221; and a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Philadelphia Phun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[   This past Saturday, we started the day of racing in Philly with what we thought was a standard, lackluster 500m time trial.  No wind, no current, but the rating was a bit high, and people felt like they couldn&#8217;t put much more into the finish.  Sound familiar?  Well, we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Set Sail 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sunday, September 13, 2009 was the annual Set Sail fundraiser for Spaulding Rehab&#8217;s Adaptive Sports Program.  As a way of giving back to Spaulding for allowing us to use their dock space, many Rooters gave their time to help kids, parents, and even some tipsy architects experience the joy of dragon boating.  
Thank [...]]]></description>

		<title>Montreal Afterglow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A message from your Captain P:
I am finally recovered enough to form complete sentences and operate a keyboard, so here&#8217;s a quick and dirty recap of this weekend&#8217;s quest for glory.
   You guys did great!  Our mixed boat started off the day pulling a 2:21.08 after a totally lousy start.  It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Boston 2009: Total team effort</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re a bit exhausted after this past weekend&#8217;s total warfare on the water, but really happy with how everyone did.

		<title>Getting out on the water, take two</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, Living Root tried to start our 2009 on the water season yesterday, but freezing temperatures kept us inside for a few more days.  I know people are really itching to get out there, but 37 degree temps, strong winds and driving rain would not have made for a good practice!
We&#8217;ll try again on Tuesday, [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Great Start to 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Living Root is off to a great start to our 2009 season!  We&#8217;re working hard at the pool twice a week, building up those muscles and working on our technique.

		<title>What to Expect at Practice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whether we’re in the pool or on the water, you can expect to get wet.  But, you can also expect to have facilities to change into dry clothes post-practice.
Before all practices, we do a warm-up of basic exercises to improve strength and flexibility.  After practice we always cool down and stretch out.  [...]]]></description>
