				<description><![CDATA[ It’s less than three weeks to go and we’ve entered the papering phase – where we’re supposed to allow our drained bodies to replenish and recover. Apparently, if all goes well – we’ll be chomping at the bit to race on the day itself.  ]]></description>

				<title>My first injury...</title>
				<link>http://www.backupdirect.net/my-first-injury...</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ Humbled. 100K in 4h33m. It was hard - not helped by the mucky, windy weather for the entire time. I had genuinely expected to be under four hours. I averaged 22kph, which extrapolates to over eight hours for the actual event. My target 7h30, so I have some work to do.

				<description><![CDATA[ The other two guys Nathan and Mark (younger, fitter) are doing fitness stuff. Mark is riding to work (15km each way). He even ran to work one day! He and Nathan are at the gym every lunch time.  And they both ran the Bristol Half Marathon at the weekend, with very decent times (see post here).

I, meanwhile, have a different strategy to all this; I'm in planning phase.  I've bought a book... ]]></description>
