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.

 

B of BS Rools Recent Reading List - In order of recommended reads.

Once a Runner (John L. Parker, Jr.)  Best fictional running book ever, a must read

Again to Carthage (John L. Parker, Jr.)  The Sequel to Once a Runner, not often a sequel compares, this one does 

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running ( Haruki Murakami)  things we have may all thought, but may never blog

Roughing It - Mark Twain 

 

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"

Well, an sprint Tri with all the senior gamers - was fun, They started in 6 waves in the pool 20 minutes apart.  My swim was not the best, have not swam much while getting ready for STG.  Survived the swim.  Before the swim, chatted wtih a lady, 60 years old, who finished the Cour De Lane IM, and did not finish the STG IM, she is going down to volunteer for the IMAZ to get an entry for next year.  The reason I mention her, as the bike transistion started, seen three bikers in front of me, quickly passed them and set out for the next biker ahend, seen a guy up ahead and passed him at about mile 1.  The next person was riding a Tri bike in the Aero positiion, thougt it would be easy to cathc, worked and worked, only made head way standing up to pedal, took me until the turnaound to catch her, the lady I talked to in the pool, she is one heck of a biker, anyway, small lady with a big engine, I could not believe a 60 year old lady could crank em so hard, very impressed.  Anyway beat her to the transision by a couple of minutes.   The run part was ugly with transhed running legs and a tweeked hammy, finished and had fun.   19th overall on the bike time out of 116 in the TRi.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out
