		<description><![CDATA[I've noticed a disturbing trend here in endurefunland.  Let's tally up the last six posts, shall we?  Three posts about races I am not doing.  Two posts about other people's bike rides.  And one post about wildfire smoke.

Did you notice the problem?  No adventures for me!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We just had an absolutely perfect winter weekend.  Sunny, temperatures in the twenties, and great skiing. Since I am in rest and recover mode prior to my race, Linda and I skied together with the kiddo at both Hillside and Kincaid.  It was one of those weekends that reminds me why I love living in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s say that for some god-forsaken reason you absolutely had to cross hundreds of miles of remote Alaskan wilderness, in the middle of winter, under your own power.  What mode of travel would you choose?  I am incredibly biased, but to me the logical answer is &#8220;I&#8217;d ski.&#8221;  After all, skis were invented specifically for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d like to thank our sponsors.  There were no f@%*ing sponsors.  
That&#8217;s an Eddie Vedder quote from an old concert tape.  I&#8217;ve always wanted to use that line.
Several people have asked if I have sponsors for this race, or if they can donate to my race fund, so I thought a quick post was in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week&#8217;s training was decent.  I did two long skis (6 hours and 4.5 hours) pulling the sled.  I also did a night ski, then campout, then ski again in the morning at Hillside on Tuesday.  But I have to admit that I haven&#8217;t logged nearly as many hours of training as I had hoped.  This [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My original idea was to post multiple blog updates about my training for the Iditarod Invitational.  Lots of the other racers do this, but few of them have both a full-time job and a full-time family.  My angle was to be: how to prepare for a week-long race on only ten hours a week.  It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a goal until you post it on the internet.  Then it becomes a commitment.  
 I am going to attempt the 2009 Iditarod Trail Invitational race to McGrath.  This is a 350 mile race through remote, frozen Alaska that [...]]]></description>

I have no idea where they got that notion. [Sheepish grin]  So, in response I crafted a blog [...]]]></description>

For the next two months, I kept thinking &#8220;I need to put that bike together before the winter is over.&#8221;  [...]]]></description>
