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: |

Tri at the SHAC, STG Aquatic Center - Rode my bike to the race, arrived over an hour early. I got all my gear ready in the transisiton area. I was a chili moring, without stag, Sylive wanted me to be early to start for the swim. Well, I was as early as could be, 1st in the pool out of 400 swimmers. My nerves we ok, just ok, don't like the swim part, always panic. The count down, 4,3,2, 1 - I was off going like crazy and going nowhere, lousy swim time, 12 minutes and some change. I was somewhere between 12th and 18th out of the water, out of 20 on the first heat. The bike transistion went well, 1:37, I knew that I had several bikers ahead of me, could I pass them all and be first out on the run, that was my goal. I passed several bikers, including the guy swimming in my lane, going uphill to Lava Road. The new wheels on the Tri Bike were sweet, hit 43mph going down. I almost passed them all, only 2 bikers hit the run before me. Yeh, very good effort on the bike, 33 minutes and change on the bike, about 19.5 mph on a hilly course. The bike to run transistion in about 1 minute, good transistion. I lost a pair of expensive sun glasses on the bike, $1 yard sale pair, darn.
The run went, my legs were dead at the start, grass downhill and then dirt up to the paved trail. Legs starting feeling better after the first 1.5 loop, ran the second loop 1 minute faster than the first. 27:11 for the 3 miles.
The award show ususally takes several hours as they have kids race after the sprint, handed by Tri bag to Sylvie and road the bike over to the truck. We went yard sailing for a few hours, took the stuff home and road my bike back to catch the awards show. The show as over, asked the timing lady how I placed, I was no where in the results, after 30 minutes telling her my exact times, etc. she finally found me and included my time. I took third, but they had already given out the medals. She gave a third place medal, yeh. Place overall, 141 out of 326, not bad for the 4th oldest in the race.
Overall assessment, happy with the bike, need more work on the the run, practice bricks, need tons of work on the swim, goal to swim at leat twice a week and get a couple of lessons.
Later in the day, rode the mountain bike 8 miles with Sylvie while she ran up West Canyon and down, for 8 miles, she looked super strong and buff.
Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out
