		<title>Inspiration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Inspiration comes so infrequently and in the most unlikely of places sometimes. So I like to keep a collection of things to get me motivated when I need it.
A couple of recent YouTube finds that have fit the bill lately...


Today I found an interesting source of inspiration. I had planned a tough workout on Knox [...]]]></description>

		<title>Race Report &#8211; Canada Day Swim and Yaletown Grand Prix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are plenty of ways to celebrate our nation's birthday. Some enjoy a parade, some enjoy fireworks, and others enjoy a cold one by the lake. I prefer this...

Canada Day for me meant a day full of racing. The morning was spent at Sasamat Lake for an 2k open water swim race and then to [...]]]></description>

		<title>John Wooden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The great John Wooden passed away today. Known most for his coaching at UCLA, I had found inspiration in both his approach to teaching and success. He will be missed.

Never  try to be better than someone else, always  learn from others.  Never cease  trying  to be the best you can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Race Report &#8211; North Shore Sprint Triathlon</title>
		<description><![CDATA["That was fun."
-Geoff Waterman
I couldn't agree with him  more. Not simply because of the result (which was a nice bonus) but  because of the competition. And I think it was written all over my face at the finish line.

As I said the day before the race, I had big expectations. After a couple [...]]]></description>

		<title>Be A Man</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All set to go for the North Shore Sprint tomorrow. Good bunch of solid pace workouts this weekend have me feeling like I'm finally ready to race. So big expectations for myself but it's time I put that kind of pressure on myself.
On that subject, I think this song may become my mantra...

		<title>Race Report &#8211; Race the Ridge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In order to succeed you must fail, so that you know what not to do the next time.
-Anthony D’Angelo
You win some, you lose some. Last weekend at Race the Ridge was definitely a loss.
It was meant to be to weekend of cycling with a 70k road race Saturday morning, a 24k time trial Saturday afternoon [...]]]></description>

		<title>Race Report &#8211; Delta Triathlon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The race season is finally underway and it was a cold, windy, and rainy start. The weather required some quick morning problem solving like duct taping old socks over the toes of my bike shoes and taping gloves to my handlebars for the bike ride.
With a staggered start from slowest to fastest swimmers, I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Secrets of Greatness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So the triathlon season begins tomorrow with the Delta Triathlon. I'm excited but go into it knowing that while I've put in plenty of work through the winter, I have little race fitness. It wasn't until this week that I started doing more than the occasional workout at race pace and so while I figure [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let Your Red Heart Show</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Couldn't say it any better...

Cynisism is easy.
So is retreating into historic grudges.
So is looking at a world in which what were once borders are now dotted lines at best
and believing it doesn't really matter what you call yourself or where you live.
It does matter.
Or at least it can.
It is important to have a shared history.
