| Location: MURRAY,UT,US Member Since: Jan 01, 2006 Gender: Male Goal Type: Other 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.

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: |

34 miles mtn bike, good hard effort, rode 4 miles of the IM course, up through Kayenta - chased some women road bikers for two miles, caught and passed them, headed to Snow Canyon, passed another 8 road bikers on the mtn bike, road to the top of Snow Canyon, passed another couple road bikers going up. I love passing hot shot road bikers on a mountain bike.

Turtle wall with Sylive, deseret preserve, beautiful run - ran up to the top without stopping, nice effort, and ran back down without stopping - kinda in taper mode - we passed a couple of other trail runners - rock climbers were a climbing - sunset as spectacular - days gone by.

Mile swim - SHAC - worked on form, full arm strong for the left arm - roll baby roll and glide - don't panic in the open water, stick to form, hopefully an open water swim tomorrow if the weather cooperates - right after the swim, rode from the home home to veyo on the IM bike course and home - felt real good on mama bear and papa bear (the wall) fastest I have scaled these climbs, the wind was blowing like heck, hope we do not have wind on race day, makes for a scary ride when trying to ride fast, practiced in the aeor position, went flying by a couple of road bikers, kinda scared them. Nice day for a 63.6 mile ride on the bike course.
I am now putting together a list for race day and transistions - have mixed feelings about the STG changing to an half iron, ok if I finish this year - give me something to boast about. Long term it is probably good as the STG IM is one darn tough course, ties with Kona for the toughest course in the world, many Tri Geeks don't want to sign up for STG IM and take the chance of a DNF when the can do an easier course.
