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: |

First ride on the Tri Bike after the fitting, new wheels, new helmet and new carbon shoes, new race tires, bike is scary fast, I mean real scary fast in aero position. I started out shakey in the position, after the first 6 or 6 miles then starting feeling more comfortable and rode most the remaining miles in aero. *Note, it was windy as heck, tough riding in the wind. The aero position really makes a big difference cutting down the wind resistance.
Back to Deseret palms, me and Sylive went to west canyon, ran up to lava caves trail and ran up to the caves, a mixture of sand land lava rock, fairly tough climbe. The was our first time on this trail. The lava caves were Kool. We then race down the sand trail, it was hard and fun chasing Sylive down the sand switchbacks. I thought for sure one of us would biff it. Finally caught Sylive just before hitting the main West Canyon trail. We ran up a couple of more miles and back to the truck, really windy day again, sand in the eyes, total run estimated a little over 8 miles. The was a very good start for the week. I think we are always going to workout on sunday before the ride back.

Rode my bike with Sylive while she ran 8 miles on the JRP, moving sag wagon. Nice day for a ride.
Talked to Mike for good 30 minutes a couple days ago about his STG Iron Man on saturday, wish him good luck, I think he has an excellent shot at qualifying for Kona, natural born athlete. Mike offered to do the Ironman with me at my pace next year, how good a buddy is that? give me swim lessons, etc. Man, wish I could have went down this weekend to see him finish.
