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: |

Sprint Tri and Sand Hallow Acquatic Center, fun race, 300 sprinters, two to a lane, 400 yrd swim - this Tri is an extension of my Mountain bike ride yesterday. Normally, in a pool Tri, cannot dive in, I seen others diving in, so, I decided to dive when given the go, mistake, my googles and goggles filled with water and lost my left contact, ended up swimming the first length doggie paddle, not good, then got the water out of the goggles and swam backstroke for the rest of the laps, 16 lengths, no wanting to lose the other contact. To my surprise, swam the 400 yrds in 10 min, 12, fast for me.
Swim to Bike Transistion, good transistion, air temp about 40, got dry with the towel, put on the shirt, bike shoes, gloves, helmet and race number and ran out the transition area. Right away started passing bikers, passed 21 bikers, not passed by anyone. At the end of the bike, my rear tire froze, lucky it did not freeze when going 40 mph downhill.
Bike to Run Transisiton - quickly took off the bike shoes and helmet, adorned running brace and shoes. The first 40 yrds were on grass and dirt, the run went well, brick practice has paid off, avg. pace 8:37, plus 5 positive road kill on the run, two 1.5 mile loops. It was fun to sprint the last 40 yrds passing two runners and have the crowd cheer.
Overall, happy with my progress, things to work on: 1) swimming free style, 2) check the bike closer before racing; 3) trust my conditioning on the run and go for it earlier in the run.
Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out
Parents and little kids comment: two incidents, while waiting in line for the swim a small boy headed right for the pool to dive in, his head was in the water and was pulled out by his feet by a lady just behind me in line. Second incident, likely why my tire froze up, me and another biker was about 100 yrds before the bike transistion, I seen a small boy out of the up ahead starting to dart accross the street, started slamming on the brakes and yelling at the kid to stop, luckily, got the attention of the other biker and the kid, he stopped about two feet from the other biker. Scary stull when going 25 mph on the bike. My nerves were rattled a little form this slamming on the brakes and almost crashing, we were a split second from laying the bike down to miss the kid.
One note, I always wonder if I will be last? Stinking thinking, will never be last as long as training hard. |
