		<title>LENT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[February was certainly a test of dealing with the snow. It is interesting how different areas of the city deal with the white stuff, but none was clear on how the city as a whole dealt with the storm that came through a few weeks ago.
Everyone knew it was coming. Weather forecasts called for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>ONE MONTH DOWN &#8211; BASE 2 UP NEXT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hard to believe, but it&#8217;s already been over a month since we settled in. Though it is still at times brisk and cold, I&#8217;ve gotten pretty comfortable with it and can rock running shorts just below 40 degrees. It now has to get below 20 degrees for it to be cold for me.
Even when it [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Wanna Say What?? AMOR VINCIT OMNIA!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In just 2 weeks, we&#8217;ve managed to pack up in Charlotte and plant roots here back in NY. Ahh, but the adventure is one of beauty and one only found in a typical travel endeavor of TEAMMC.
However, a mission like this is one that does not escape the realm of possibility in our experience. Gina [...]]]></description>

		<title>YEAR END REPORT: 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the time I love best &#8211; Advent into Christmas, with a thing called Thanksgiving beforehand. It has been my routine for years now to end my training/racing season before Thanksgiving and prepare for the Advent season into Christmas while doing what I called &#8220;play&#8221;. I get to train but nothing structured. Gina and [...]]]></description>

		<title>ROUND 2: World Champs 70.3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Friday was all about relaxing, walking around, and just trying to lay low. We got to meet Madonna Bouder which meant all good fortune for me. At every major event she&#8217;s been at that I&#8217;ve competed in, an encounter with her has meant good results.
It was beautiful out. Sunny, warm and the wind was still [...]]]></description>

		<title>LAST BLAST &#8211; WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 70.3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The past month has been a steady routine of training, work, home for dinner, then repeat the process. We enjoy our Sundays vigilantly &#8211; even to the point of turning off our phones off the entire day so we just do what we want to. The time has come now for our final event and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Take Flight Triathlon &#8211; Speed Test</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally after five weeks of heavy training around 17-20 hours per week and incorportating various creative ways to &#8220;get it done&#8221; within the work schedule, I got a chance to enter a race before Clearwater.
Granted it was mostly because it fell on a Sunday when I am off work, but it was also a sprint [...]]]></description>

		<title>WELL-OILED MC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I got the OK a week ago. From both the Doc and most importantly &#8211; G. Everything seems fine but it&#8217;s just something I have to get monitored each year.  It was about time we got the news since I didn&#8217;t want to go into my September training plan without some type of info.  Apparently [...]]]></description>

		<title>AWAITING THE G &#8211; OK</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The past 3 weeks have been great in getting into another rhythm and setting things up in my preparations for Clearwater. I intend to train, and train hard to go for a PR, but as G established a while ago with coach rules &#8211; gotta see the doc before doing so.
Actually, the last time I [...]]]></description>
