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.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Enjoy the Swim, Bike Run thru Life - Hope to Run a Few Races Support Sylvie - Be a good coach   - Support Jenna, Jeremy, Taylor and Bonnie - my kids are now into running, who would of thunk it.  long term goals, recover from the ankle sprain, accept was it, have fun racing, mountain biking, faster swimming.

 

B of BS Rools Recent Reading List - In order of recommended reads.

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"

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.

Brick workout - 20.20 miles in 54 minutes,  22.44 mph pace - good hard effort.

5 miles on milly, 4.3% grade,  8:43 pace.

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.
