		<title>When Plan A is stupid &#8211; you need a new plan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To kick off this series of write ups, lets talk about my original taper plan &#8211; and move on to the revised taper plan.  The original taper for Ironman this year is the result of feeling flat last yearat both IMWI and IMFL.  Prior to both races &#8211; particularly IMWI I had some incredible workouts.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Taper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My taper for Ironman Wisconsin has undergone some drastic revisions in the last 10 days.  All because of a little race called Pigman.  In terms of results, I&#8217;m pretty disappointed in the outcome.  However, in terms of learning things &#8211; I (thus far) am of the opinion that I learned a lot about my body [...]]]></description>

		<title>When to stop digging</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  I learned something yesterday.  A couple things actually.  One &#8211; I don&#8217;t have it figured out.  Two &#8211; you can&#8217;t expect to go fast when you make poor training choices the week of a race &#8211; particularly a HIM.  What is surprising to me &#8211; is that I thought I already knew both of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Technology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post has been brewing a few days, as I have been trying to find the words to helpfully express my recent thoughts and experiences surrounding racing without my beloved technology. After my experience at Door County, I was comfortable with the idea of racing sans technology.  It wasn&#8217;t my preference, but it was reassuring [...]]]></description>

		<title>Door County Tri</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday was the Door County Triathlon.  It was my first time doing the race, and I was impressed.  The organization of the race was top notch &#8211; the course was great &#8211; though the run could use some more aid stations.  The best part was all of the legs were accurate distances.  Awesome!!!!! I set [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yielding to Fatigue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s post is going branch off into a little bit of philosophy.  The main focus today is a &#8220;method&#8221; I picked up from my reading of Taoist stuff that I have found particularly useful in successfully completing a challenging workout. Imagine a tall study oak tree, it&#8217;s roots are deeply embedded in the ground &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Small site change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve changed it so that the root URL and the /blog URL now display the same content.  I did this because I wasn&#8217;t making any progress (after nearly 2 years) of putting anything meaningful on the &#8220;home&#8221; page. It&#8217;s a bit kludgy, but I don&#8217;t want to screw up any of my permalinks out there.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well after spending some time with the great folks at Emery&#8217;s yesterday, one of the two new rides in the Bowe household is home.  The other should show up today or Monday, depending on our ability to get Mary to Emery&#8217;s.  I&#8217;ve always been a fan of Emery&#8217;s.  I first stumbled on them back in 2004.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>FUD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fear. Uncertainty. Doubt. These are probably the 3 biggest issues I have in my training and racing.  They are three little devils in the back of my mind that erode my ability to train consistently, smartly, and correctly &#8211; which ultimately impacts my ability to race at the level I want. I&#8217;ve had success and [...]]]></description>

		<title>I ran to fast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;m rebuilding my run fitness now, I am finding that I am enjoying my runs more, particularly my long runs.  I think there are a few reasons for this. 1&#62; My expectations are low &#8211; I am honest to God tickled pink to run 8:20 miles. 2&#62; Because my expectations are low, I am [...]]]></description>
