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: |

Snow Canyon, West Canyon, run with Sylvie, good effort, finding some rythm with may run. It was a beautiful mornng, red tail making nest in the red rock cliffs, golden eagle flying agains the sun, coach Sylvie put me through the mind game, the run game, like a football coach keeping me going, good stuff. She almost got out the whip, tough coach.
Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out, nice start to the week, last big week.
One note, Mike Warren called me from Boston, he is stoked, ready to tackle bean town and break 3 hrs - if you want to track his race, 4381 race number - Mike was a long time blogger, has stopped blogging.

1 miles swim, Murray pool, worked on keeping head down, low energy morning, had to force myself to get out of bed, head to STG today for a weekend of training.
4 mile trail run - turtle wall, 83 degrees in STG, good run, ran up without stopping, stopped and the top to enjoy the view. Running is getting better.

Open water swim, Sand Hallow - water temp 59 degrees, cold on dem dare feet the first 15 minutes, then warmed up. Sylvie was my life gaurd in teh kayak - good practice for the race, my sighting was not good, found myself swimming through trees and fishing line, what the heck - good lesson for the race, open water next weekend to work on the sighting and keeping the left arm strong to keep me swimming straight - it was a beautiful day for a swim, stopped after 75 minutes, wetsuit bubbing on my neck, need body glide next time.
Hard 20 mile mtn bike, run, rode like heck, standing on the pedals and going hard over the hills - legs felt good.

Hot, hot, hot - Snow Canyon, West canyon run, happy with the effort, ran the first 8 miles without stopping, 4 up and 4 down, power walked the last 8 with Sylive - this is my longest run without stopping for a long long time, hard coming back after the SF and knee issues, just glad to roll over the toes, next Mizuno shoes, and be in the game.
Lesson today - drink more and more and then some more, it was in the 90s today on the run.
All in all, this was a good weekend to tune up -
