Running Accomplishments:

Stay in the game, keep in the moment - have conquered a few of the holy grails of running - sub 3hr marathon, ran Boston and qualified for Boston at Boston, 10K PR under 6 min miles, won a couple of 5Ks in my early days of running, running for 30 years and ran 39 marathons.  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.

Short-Term Running Goals:

 2013 Race Plan - STG Half IronMan, Lake Mead Rage Olympic distance, STG spring relay tri, STG half marathon, STG marathon, Cozumel IM, Utah Summer Games Triathlon at Gunlock, Murray 5k with family and Utah Half Distance Triathlon, 187 mile red rock relay,  STG marathon,

*note of clarification - cross training miles from biking and swimming calculated as follows: (as someone may wonder) 20 mile an hour bike = 5 cross training miles (those not familar with a 20 mph pace, good bike effort for long distance,  swimming, convert 1 hour swimming to 5 cross training miles.  For those that do not swim much, great cardio workout.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Enjoy the Swim, Bike Run thru Life - Hope to Run a Few Races Support Sylvie - Be a good coach   - Support Jenna, Jeremy, Taylor and Bonnie - my kids are now into running, who would of thunk it.  long term goals, recover from the ankle sprain, accept was it, have fun racing, mountain biking, faster swimming.

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"

Crazy, crazy, - when you go to bed a 9.m. every night, running a midnite 5K is not a wise idea. The race was fun, glow sticks, big crowd, etc. I was so darn tired when the race stared, B and S lined up towards the front, Slyvie took off like shot, my legs would not move, pumped my arms like crazy to get my legs going. The course was ran in mud, well, just for me. The first half was dreadful, an old lady in a walker passed me like I was standing still. The second half, blowing head winds, a short hill, started feeling better, ran fairly well the second half an sprinted to beat another old Please follow Fast Running Blog policy regarding vulgar language Post Race - Sylvie ran a very good race in the wind, hill, ran a 26 something. They handed out cards with your place and time. Slyvie won her division and I was third her division, we would look good together on the podium. ha ha, race mixup, but, was funny. As we were waiting for them to call Sylvie's division, they called out the Women's Master winner, 40 and over, it was Sylvie, she was so excited, jumping up and down, yelling, I was cheering like crazy. She was so happy "I am so glad you signed me up for this race". It as very cute, the award was a very nice plaque. When they got to the women's 55=59, darn, they realized I was no female, took my award, darn, the goatee have me away. Don't know how I did in my real division, does not matter, tired of glow sticks, glow sticks were the awards. Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

Big congrats to Sylvie for her Masters win!!! Next time shave and wear your do-rag and you'll take home a few more glow sticks :)

Nice work on the run despite the mud. I think it gets thicker after 9 PM! Sounds like Sylvie may have found an ideal running time (midnight)! Great race for both of you, sounds like a TON of fun!
