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.

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: |

Early morning swim, SHAc, started in the warm pool, one lane, after 10 laps, three ladies hop in for circle swimming, have swam with them a couple of times. It really motivated me to stay ahead of them, they swam well. Hope they would swim every morning to keep me going. I stopped for a minute when the ladies got out, at 39 laps, swam another 11 laps in the warm pool and the last 10 laps in the cold competition pool. Total of 60 laps, 3000 yrds. I read that to show any noticable improvement, swim at least 3000 yrds three times a week.
Going running later to today with Sylvie up Snow Canyon. Ran 6 miles with Sylvie, cold wind from teh north going 3 miles up, Sylvie wanted to turn around and 3 miles, turned around and headed back. Ran about 80 percent, speed walked about 20 percent. The recovery to running is going to take a few months.

1250 yrds swimming at Shac, 2 hr spin class, good effort, Sylvie wanted to run the barrel roll trail by Santa Clara, part of the trail half marathon, Dirty Hurty, she is running next saturday. Tough trail run looking at your step, every step, looked at a barrel cactus and biffed it, 8 miles felt like 15.

Early morning swim, 60 laps, 3,000 yrds. first 36 laps in the warm pool, circle swimming with another guy, good way to push yourself, swam the last 24 laps in the cold competition pool, Good effort, getting the endurace, but, still swimming at a 56 minute mile pace, need to get that pace below 50 minutes per mile. Going to srart attending a master's class.
Turtle wall run with Sylvie, best day of the year, shorts and short sleeve shirt, what a beautiful day for a run. Blister on a couple of toes fromt the Barrel roll trail run a comple of days ago.
Picked up a flat yesterday on the MTN bike, got the flat fixed, hope to get a ride in tomorrow on the road bike.

Run up and down West Canyon, in Snow Canyon, great day for a run with Sylvie. More people on the trail today. Always intereting that people want me to stop and give them directions. I always stop, smile and tell them where to go. ha ha, I can see why they ask, the maps are not very helpful and some of the trails are not marked. I don't mind stopping unless I am chasing someone ahead of me.
