		<title>No Eagleman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, despite all of the hype I put into competing at the Eagleman half-Ironman, I didn&#8217;t compete.  Eight days earlier, on June 5th, I had a sports injury that caused some rather severe muscular trauma to my right mid-back section.  I went to the ER to ensure that there were no broken bones or organ [...]]]></description>

		<title>One week til Eagleman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t want to fully believe that the new shoes deserve sole credit (pardon the pun), but it looks like I&#8217;m climbing out of the valley.  I bought two new pairs of sneakers, one by Asics who has been my brand of choice for a few years now, and another by K-Swiss.  The K-Swiss pair [...]]]></description>

		<title>In the valley&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are peaks and valleys in most training programs.  One trains to &#8220;peak&#8221; at the right time; that is, the goal is to be physically primed and ready to go with strength, endurance, and speed on race day.  Typically, athletes pick an &#8220;A&#8221; race or two within the season and customize training leading up to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Humidity in Houston</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was in Houston last weekend (a four day stay actually) to meet Roya&#8217;s family and though tempted to compete in the Silverlake Sprint Triathlon, I decided against it for a few reasons.  It would have cost me $100 per flight to ship my bike plus the $75 entry fee, all for a race that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Escape From Alcatraz and Spring Couples Relay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As usual, I&#8217;m taking forever to get posts up on this site, the potential result of which is another entry with pages of content.  I don&#8217;t want to do that to my adoring public (cough), so I&#8217;ll bullet point the highlights of the last two weeks: Escape From Alcatraz: I didn&#8217;t do any pre-race training [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alcatraz is three days away!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been terribly remiss in maintaining this blog.  Lots of reasons out there:  a new (and fabulous) girlfriend, a heavy dose of training, an expansion of territory under my direction at work, and issues with my building (I&#8217;m president of the condo association).  None are worth going into here; who really wants to hear about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ironman Hawaii</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I just checked the Ironman.com website to see if I got into the Ironman World Championships held in Kona, Hawaii and the news is&#8230; (drumroll)&#8230;  that I didn&#8217;t get in.  I had a feeling that I actually would get in this year, but it&#8217;s okay that I didn&#8217;t.  What that means is that I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alcatraz is 19 days away!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to admit; I&#8217;m feeling way underprepared.  I mean, my bike is strong, my run is fairly strong, but the swim isn&#8217;t and the course difficult has me feeling a little concerned. I haven&#8217;t written here as often as I would have liked or intended, and it&#8217;s particularly disconcerting to me given my previous [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting back to Normal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If I didn&#8217;t post so infrequently, they&#8217;d be considerably shorter.  No one has really complained about the length; frankly, I&#8217;d surprised if anyone actually read the full posts.  Makes me wonder if this is just an on-line diary but then again, what is a blog supposed to be anyway? All that aside, I feel good [...]]]></description>

		<title>What a Ridiculous Weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was convinced going into this weekend that it would be one of my hardest.  Well, maybe not as hard as Ironman Lake Placid was; truly everything since then, within triathlon and generally in life, has paled in comparison.  I just knew that I&#8217;d be putting a major burden on my legs with two races [...]]]></description>
