		<description><![CDATA[Around the area where I live, there are lots of cyclists, runners and walkers out on the roads every day. On an average day over a thousand cyclists would pass our house. Riders of all abilities. There&#8217;d probably be several hundred runners and walkers go through this neighbourhood each day. It&#8217;s easy to pick the [...]]]></description>

We stood at the twenty-two km mark and watched everyone from the leaders back to where the attention seekers started coming through. The people with silly hats, costumes etc. There&#8217;s was one guy (a sushi eater) running the marathon backwards carrying a big flag. Another one from the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How quickly are you able to convert directions/advice into action? There are many common traits among successful athletes. One of these is definitely the ability to convert directions to actions, quickly and efficiently. During the past week one of my athletes told me of a sore calf, which was still tight two days after a [...]]]></description>

When I first came back from Hawaii in 86, one of my brother&#8217;s mates asked him, how I was going with &#8220;post Ironman depression&#8221;. When my brother told me, I thought &#8220;what in the hell is that?&#8221; Since then the subject has come up over the years. Seriously, [...]]]></description>

I felt the best way for me to optimise my training and to be able to test squad members occasionally was to have a power measuring device which could be swapped from bike to bike.

In my early twenties I practiced karate for a few years. It&#8217;s amazing how close to triathlon training, martial arts training really is. Thousands of repetitions of [...]]]></description>

She reported the recent findings pointing to the stronger immune systems in children who attended child care centres compared to children who stayed at home in more isolated conditions. Apparantly the children exposed to lots of different germs developed a greater resistance to them. Us [...]]]></description>
