		<description><![CDATA[I recently had a conversation with a triathlete who will most likely be embarrassed to read this. I won&#8217;t mention any names or places. In the course of a ten minute conversation he used &#8220;negative self talk&#8221; so smoothly, so habitually, he&#8217;d given himself all the reasons why he couldn&#8217;t perform in a race. He [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning was the first day I felt the touch of winter. I&#8217;m sure our friends in southern states and in the northern hemisphere are laughing. But it&#8217;s all relevant. Our Brisbane bodies are used to Brisbane temperatures. When the morning temperature drops into the low teens our body struggles to cope. A percentage of our energy goes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every athlete has setbacks. Everyone has setbacks in their lives, you don&#8217;t have to be an athlete for this to happen. It is just part of life. Champion boxers who have never been defeated are rare. But rare as they may be, there are some who go through their whole careers without losing a fight. Now [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of us don&#8217;t start triathlon until we&#8217;re in our mid thirties or even into our forties. We&#8217;re all late starters. I heard a great story this week of another late starter. I did a little job for a friend who is a car dealer and greyhound owner/trainer. We&#8217;ve recently bought a car from Darryl [...]]]></description>

Just a page, going through &#8220;what went right&#8221; and &#8220;what went wrong&#8221;, &#8220;what was learnt&#8221;, &#8220;what we&#8217;ll do better next time&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[Over the years I&#8217;ve met lots of talented athletes. Many have achieved their goals, but sadly many have not. The difference between the successful ones and the unsucessful ones is not ability. I have known one athlete, who I have privately identified as the most talented athlete I&#8217;d ever known, who didn&#8217;t make it. He&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year at Port MacQaurie at the Australian Ironman, our supporters squad outnumbered our competitors, and we had over forty competitors. The supporters put in so much energy that our competitors were lifted to a new level. The energy in the squad is pushed up by every member who contributes his or her little bit. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Most don&#8217;t know Minnie&#8217;s story. When she was a little girl she walked in calipers until she was five years old to straighten her legs (like Forrest Gump) I met [...]]]></description>

In fact she thinks I&#8217;m wasting time any time I&#8217;m not out there sweating in the hot Queensland sun. I think I&#8217;ve spoiled her. My average day starts at 4.30am to either be out training at 5am or at the pool coaching [...]]]></description>

Sometimes they have no experience at the sports involved but they have this burning desire to test themselves. Sherilee had completed another triathlon squad&#8217;s beginner course.
