		<description><![CDATA[Every training session is an opportunity to become stronger, fitter, leaner or more skilled. Or with some luck, all of the above. Every time we train, we need to be training for a purpose. We should be setting out to achieve something. Once we&#8217;ve identified what we&#8217;re doing it for, we have to finish the [...]]]></description>

		<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[There are a few things triathletes have in common, more than the fact that they all like to swim, bike and run. A great many of them I&#8217;ve met have this unsatiable thirst for knowledge. They&#8217;re constantly reading articles in magazines, researching on the net, always looking for the secret. I think one of the [...]]]></description>

		<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>

One of these is definitely the ability to convert directions to actions, quickly and efficiently.

It&#8217;s not cool to be injured, getting sympathy from those close to you, when you miss out on that important race. Do you visit a physio when you become injured? [...]]]></description>

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.
