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: |

Went to West Canyon and ran with Sylvie and Roxie, right calf sore, took a couple of miles to warm up, ran most of the way back. Got a new MAC, wow, is this hard to get use to.

| Mooping around today, finally decided to run up West Canyon, Sylvie went with me, was only going to run 4, Sylvie got to the 2 miles and said are we going further, yes, ran the 8 miles, got me out of my funk. I can still learn a few lessons. A family with 3 kids was riding up West Canyon, one of the boys was having a fit, did not to ride the bike up hill, wanted to go home, come here him whining a quarter mile away. Non of my business, but, pointed at him and said: there are many things in life you will not like, but, this will make you stronger, his dad said exactly. As I was heading back down from the top, seen the family heading up, the boy was no longer whining, gave all the kids a big hu Rah and said good job, the boy had a smile on his face. Self lesson learned - did my own share of whining about the waves starts at the STG IM, lesson for myself, suck it up butter cup. No more whining about rough water or anything else, just train hard, do my best, let the chips fall where they may. |
