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: |

| Great Salt Lake Half, Sylvia ran a 1:54, great race, last year she had major surgery, cut her time by 8 minutes. She really looked strong at the finish. I expect her to compete for the top 10 in her division at St. George, 1st in her div. today. I ran a 1:44, good effort on sore legs from stretching, massage and not running much for 2 weeks. 5 minutes slower than last year. But, managed the knee, not much pain. Interested, I trailed another person named Brent for about 7 miles, finally pulled up alongs side, ran with him for two miles, two young lady runners were fast coming up behind, I decided to hold them off, held them off for 2 miles, droped the other Brent by about a minute, could not hold on to their pace. Anyway, turns out the other Brent was second in my division behind me. You never know who will show up to the race. Jeanie Groves is always fun to talk to after the race. B of BS Rools out. Lastly, I am always impressed with all the great runners at races in Utah. We have a bunch of tough runners in Utah that show up and give it their all. Reading Sasha's blog, course 1.23 tenths too long. This may not sound like much. But, this translates into about 5 seconds a mile. Anyone who ever raced knows how hard it is to take 1 minute off your race time or cathc someone a few seconds ahead. Hum, Alhought, race directing is hard, I wish more directors could get the distance correct. I would say half the races either have the distace wrong or have mile markers off. As runners, we are expect these things, but, hopefully, not on runs other that fun runs, not half marathons, big races, etc. This is especially applicable when race entry fees are high. The Great Salt Lake seems to operate on a shoestring, they should get some leeway on criticism. Anyway, another day at the races, B of BS Rools out. Lastly, Syvlia was glad to hear that the time adjustment changed her predicted time at St. George to 3:47 that would have given her 10th last year in her division. I think she is motivated to train hard these last few weeks for St. George. |
