		<title>Chicago &#8211; Second Place!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So this is what it feels like to have a good result! I haven&#8217;t felt this good about a race in a long time (since November 14th, 2009 to be exact). Of course I prefer the top step of the podium but Mark Fretta stole the race with a blazing fast bike split (on a [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Stuff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think I am finally done updating my website. Yes, it took me almost three weeks to do a very minimal amount of work &#8211; menial tasks are hard during peak training/racing season! In addition to the new look I also updated the &#8220;about me&#8221; section and added previous year&#8217;s results all the way back [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two years, three months and 30 days later here it is: my 100th blog post! I&#8217;m celebrating with a complete redesign to my whole website.

		<title>London</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not going to get into too many specifics about my race in London as it was another not-so-good result, but I can say that at least I made it to the run this year! The field in London this past weekend was loaded with talent and I simply wasn&#8217;t prepared for the intensity of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hamburg 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Things went decently well in Hamburg this past weekend. My only complaint is that my efforts only netted a 37th place. I swam well &#8211; I was pleasantly surprised to see names like Docherty, Ben &#8220;I only packed one shirt for this trip&#8221; Collins and Mark &#8220;I own a hamster named Hunter Kemper&#8221; Fretta in [...]]]></description>

		<title>New York Athletic Club</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It looks like I haven&#8217;t posted in 25 days &#8211; oops! No, I&#8217;m not validating my own theory that a lack of blog posts indicates some sort of season ending injury&#8230;I&#8217;m doing just fine! In fact I&#8217;m headed out to Europe on Tuesday for a couple of weeks of racing in Hamburg and London. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>HyVee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A brief race report from HyVee: My swim was excellent! I exited the water in the front pack only 30 seconds down from the leaders. This was great since my swim was off for the first few races of the season. Onto the bike I was in the front pack within half of a lap [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ten Reasons Why Shimano Di2 is Awesome!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In pictures (but a few words, too): Reason #1: no more cables for the derailleurs! The derailleur cable routing on both my bikes is gloriously empty. No cables means no more dealing with &#8216;stretching&#8217; and adjusting the shifting all the time. Which brings me to reason #2&#8230; Dialing in the shifting is a breeze: just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lots of Swimming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since it is currently the time of year when I realize that my swim is awful and needs lots of work, I am throwing myself into every session I can reasonably attend with the swim squad here at the OTC. This does seem to be a yearly occurance &#8211; last year I found myself almost [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seoul</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The race in Seoul didn&#8217;t go as planned but just like I found out in Mooloolaba, Sydney and St. Anthony&#8217;s I need to re-evaluate my swim program. Fortunately I have five weeks until my next race (HyVee) &#8211; Good thing I have these big training blocks to work with! Although my race was a disaster [...]]]></description>
