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: |

| 6.25 converted cross training swim, swan 44 laps, nice to get back in the pool. Need to hit is hard in the pool the next couple of weeks. 3 hours spinning, 20 mph pace effort on flat, 3 x 90 wall squats, curls, bench press, flys and slant board pull ups. The weather certainly makes it a challenge for a good bike ride |

| Tired legs from big bike and swim workout yesterday, ran 10 miles hoping to somewhat simulate running the half marathon after the bike leg of the STG IM. Avg pace 12 minute miles, I know, slow, do what you can do. 12 min. miles pretty good pace for run/speed walking. I tried some new shoe inserts today, Dr. Scholl Gel pad sport, did not like them. I will stick to the RRS inserts. I cannot decide if I will go out and ride a few miles or just take the rest of the day off. Mind over body, tough to keep the legs going when you dog tired, going to do another dog tired brick next week. |

| Early morning run, kinda nippy, wind. Went out to the infinite bike shop to pick up my kit. Decided to got to the pool, swam a mile, 18 x 100 yards, 53.33 minutes. My form was breaking down, if I could keep this pace up, should be about 9 minutes under the time cutoff for the STG half IM. Happy with my run and bike training progress, going to focus more on swimming the next couple of weeks, try and shave off a few more minutes and gain some more endurance.

| 56 miles, with Sue, Di and I forgot his name. Good hard paced ride, taking turns keeping on pace. around the south west end of the valley, much of the ride against the wind, hills, etc. very good training ride for the STG Half IM. Di did about half the ride, she did a hard 19 mile run in Park City yesterday, and I forgot is name, dropped off the pace when we turned around and the Lehi turn on redwood. Self assessment, ready for the bike ride, just keep up the hard work Run - need two or three 12 mile runs over the next three weeks, Swim, need to swim 5 days a week the next couple of weeks, work on keeping good form when tired, need a couple open water swims before the half, Rage Olympic distance should help with a mile open water swim. Conclusion, training is on the right track, keep riding with Sue whenever possible, she is the Kona queen of pacing. |

| JRP, 12 miles, 6 north and back home, seems often running on tired legs, practiced forcing myself to run when the legs were saying no. I am going to be doing this a bunch this year with the Tri cutoff times. Nothing special about the run, see a couple other runners. Spin 1 hour, medium effort to loosen up the legs from running. Legs feel better. Good luck to everyone capturing running's holy grail this next monday at Boston. Drink a green beer for me. Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out |

2000 yrds swimming, working on technique. Bike ride to the top of snow canyon and home, good north wind blowing, made the little a little more challenging. Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out Rode the Mtn bike 8 miles with Sylvie while she ran up west canyon, boy, it was cold going up. Sylvie is in great shape right now.

DNFed Rage Olympic distance tri today, this is getting old, B needs to become a better rough water swimmer. When the swim started, hey, I got this made, just a little choppy, swam a bit over half way, the wind from the north stared up, not again, swam hard to try and reach the green bouy, was not making much progress according to the shore patrol boat, finally called over a Kayak to take a short break, then tried again, was darn wearing me out, tried a breast stroke, called the kayak again to take another break and tried again. Well, finally packed it in. I have been upset with myself all day, give up Tris, passing thought, go to sprints only, a little more than a passing thought, finally talked to Sylvie about my thoughts, just need more rough water swimming, more work, more work. Keena was there watching me today, so sad. did the 24 mile bike, hilly course, tougher than expected. Well, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. I love swimming open water swells. Should I post this darn thing or not.

| Heck of a bike ride this morning, 56 miles, Sylvie gave me some encouragement to get out and ride, got me out of my funk from the race yesterday. 2 times up and down snow canyon, over to Kyenta twice, very nice day for a ride. Talked to a few bikers doing the STG half IM, a race bike guy from Infinite. Just nice to get out. |
