		<description><![CDATA[B-B-B-Bring it on, we&#8217;re ready! I&#8217;ve had the most frustration week of trying to make contact with the rest of the world. I&#8217;ve spent too much time at the internet cafe. First it wouldn&#8217;t recognise my USB with all my addresses on it. Then Sandy forgot her password, we both have e-mail addresses on the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week has been a lot easier than the previous one. We&#8217;ve started to drop the volume of training. For the first weekend in a long while Sandy and I have had a smaller Sunday workout than our squad. The bulk of the squad are training for the Western Australian Ironman in Busselton in ten [...]]]></description>

Sandy and I did a big mid week bike ride of just under 200km with a 30km climb in the middle of it. We were in the saddle [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Confidence is built one small step at a time. This week has given my wife and myself another boost in confidence. We treated this week as an easier one, with a bigger, tougher workout on the end. We both devote time each week to our body maintenance programs. Without that we&#8217;d fall apart before we [...]]]></description>

All I do physically is take my girls Mollie and Missie (dogs) for our coffee walk. We walk about two km, they get to [...]]]></description>

After all, when you stand on the start line, or when you reach 20km in the Ironman marathon. Your level of self belief and/or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had a busy week and I&#8217;ve skipped straight from nine weeks to go down to seven weeks. Once we get into single figures it drops down fast. My last week&#8217;s training was uneventful after my health event. I managed to get in 12hrs training, five of those hours was racing the Capricorn Half Ironman [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had a bit of a setback. I missed last Sunday&#8217;s 100km time trial. I like to complete regular time trials as a measure of my progress on the bike. I have been putting in some good base hours on the bike and was looking forward to testing myself. It was a cold morning at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The easy week. I have been looking forward to this week. Last week I was smashed. Lots of cycling and running, really great base work, but I really pushed the limits. To reach the heights we seek, we have to push the limits. This week I&#8217;ve hardly trained at all by comparison. I took advantage [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m walking like an old man today. I ran the Gold Coast Marathon yesterday. It&#8217;s amazing how my dogs adjusted their pace within the first five minutes of their morning walk. They normally run down steps or run up them. I naturally pick up the pace with them. This morning the first set of five [...]]]></description>
