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: |

Early morning swim, 60 laps, 3,000 yrds. first 36 laps in the warm pool, circle swimming with another guy, good way to push yourself, swam the last 24 laps in the cold competition pool, Good effort, getting the endurace, but, still swimming at a 56 minute mile pace, need to get that pace below 50 minutes per mile. Going to srart attending a master's class.

Run up and down West Canyon, in Snow Canyon, great day for a run with Sylvie. More people on the trail today. Always intereting that people want me to stop and give them directions. I always stop, smile and tell them where to go. ha ha, I can see why they ask, the maps are not very helpful and some of the trails are not marked. I don't mind stopping unless I am chasing someone ahead of me.

44 miles in sunny STG, rode the Tri bike to gunlock/Utah hill split, front tire was flat, called Sylvie to come pick me up, something wrong with wheel or valve extender, second flat in a week. Went back out on the road bike to keyenta and back up to the top of Snow Canyon, good effort, passed a few bikers. Cross winds made the coming back down Snow Canyon not much fun. Anyway, good to get outside for a ride. Looking forward to next weekend.

| Mile swim SHAC, 60 mile bike ride with the infinite cycle team, what a tough group of riders, like at race for 52 miles of the ride, very impressed. I took a wrong turn and lost the pack, had ahard time finding the route back to the start, had to ask a few cars to stop for directions, finally, got directions, what a weird feeling to not know where you are. I was close to the Arizona border. |

Swim at SHAC, now here is something, when I was swimming, looked up, the life gaurd was sleeping. I asked her a question in a loud voice, she awoke, swam a few more laps, she was asleep again, woke her again with a question. I am not the only swimmer who noticed this. Any hoot, if she does it again while I am there, will be a little more assertive.
Trial run with Sylvie along the hills above red cliffs drive, south side, wow, what a tough trail to run, almost biffed it once. Nice day for a little trail run, turtle wall is much better than this run.

Good to run a race again, longest non-stop run since severe ankle sprain, Sylvie ran well, Sylvie, Devine Miss M (Rachel) all took 5th in our division, nice poker hand. It was nice to visit with George Adams and Toby Salazar. We had some knock down drag out races several years ago.

Early morning swim, SHAC, worked on not resting as much each lap, 40 laps, a bout a 56 minute 1 mile pace, keep working at it. Went to West Canyon and ran with Sylvie and Roxie, right calf sore, took a couple of miles to warm up, ran most of the way back. Got a new MAC, wow, is this hard to get use to.

| Mooping around today, finally decided to run up West Canyon, Sylvie went with me, was only going to run 4, Sylvie got to the 2 miles and said are we going further, yes, ran the 8 miles, got me out of my funk. I can still learn a few lessons. A family with 3 kids was riding up West Canyon, one of the boys was having a fit, did not to ride the bike up hill, wanted to go home, come here him whining a quarter mile away. Non of my business, but, pointed at him and said: there are many things in life you will not like, but, this will make you stronger, his dad said exactly. As I was heading back down from the top, seen the family heading up, the boy was no longer whining, gave all the kids a big hu Rah and said good job, the boy had a smile on his face. Self lesson learned - did my own share of whining about the waves starts at the STG IM, lesson for myself, suck it up butter cup. No more whining about rough water or anything else, just train hard, do my best, let the chips fall where they may. |
