The transistion to the back of the pack has not been easy, but, acceptance, stay in the game, root for others, enjoy the rest of the journey. Another off the bucket list second = Provo Half IM - have done 6 open water Tris and 6 pool Tris. Gave the STG IM a good Tri, hope to take another shot at the IM.

Personal: BSRools, the B stands for Brent and the S for Sylvie. The Rools come from my personal running rools over the years: Never complain once the run starts, allways pick up the pace into the wind and always pick up the pace on a hill. If someone whines, pick up the pace. Once a goal is set, no whining, regardless of setbacks. We were running when running was not Kool. Kool comes from a race story, ran my first race, 5K wearing a "beanie that had "Kool Aid Kid" Favorite Blogs: |

Swim, 1 mile at the pool, shared a lane wtih a Dancing hippo, well not really, just a big guy taking up 3/4s of the lane with fins and a snokel, good practice for crowded swimming open water. 32 miles spinning watching gold, swim rubber band pulls 400, 4 x 90 second squats and 4 x 35 ab twists with weights.
I would rather be outside, easy does it with the recovery, 3 days a week running.

Early morning swim, 1 mile swim, competition pool at Kearns, my coach Di did not show, we must have had mixed signals. Odd old folks water areobices class, playing african drum music and moving, kinda weird.
Run on JRP to 4500 south and back with Roxie, we met six alaskan huskies coming at us, the owner tried to hold them bac, she went down and the dogs were dragging her on the ice, it was dog chaos for a few moments. |

Nice Brick day given the wind and cold at times during the run, building the running endurance back up, slow process. Goal to run 4 to 5 days a week.

Early morning swim, SHAc, started in the warm pool, one lane, after 10 laps, three ladies hop in for circle swimming, have swam with them a couple of times. It really motivated me to stay ahead of them, they swam well. Hope they would swim every morning to keep me going. I stopped for a minute when the ladies got out, at 39 laps, swam another 11 laps in the warm pool and the last 10 laps in the cold competition pool. Total of 60 laps, 3000 yrds. I read that to show any noticable improvement, swim at least 3000 yrds three times a week.
Going running later to today with Sylvie up Snow Canyon. Ran 6 miles with Sylvie, cold wind from teh north going 3 miles up, Sylvie wanted to turn around and 3 miles, turned around and headed back. Ran about 80 percent, speed walked about 20 percent. The recovery to running is going to take a few months.

1250 yrds swimming at Shac, 2 hr spin class, good effort, Sylvie wanted to run the barrel roll trail by Santa Clara, part of the trail half marathon, Dirty Hurty, she is running next saturday. Tough trail run looking at your step, every step, looked at a barrel cactus and biffed it, 8 miles felt like 15.
