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: |

Early morning bike ride, 30.22 miles. Converted to 7.5 cross training miles. *Note, cross training is not equivalent to running, whatever the conversion method. But, good cross eases the transistion back to running. I have the cardio endurance to run easy for hours, the issue is getting the running legs back.
Running Shorts: My running mind has gone. I am starting to miss some of the odd things that go with running:
Black Toe Nails - loose one every year at St.George
Schaffing - now we all have special spots for this one, (no details needed) easy to get, hard to heal
Sweaty Runners - passing running that are sweating so much that sweat is spraying like a garden hose.
Potty Stops at a Moments Notice - No detail needed for this one
Blisters - knowing you have a blister, but, you can't stop, cannot not lose that 30 seconds off your marathon time.
Weaving - if weaving around runners could make a rug, I would have several special rugs.
Lead Dead legs - That special feeling when you are more than done in a race. No matter how hard you try, your just done.
Yelling at Cars - Now this one is an odd thing to miss, giving the finger (have not gone that far), but have yelled at a number of drivers over the years.
Race Course Measured Wrong - Now, how many races are too long or short, in the world of garmins, we all have an opinion.
Race time being off a few seconds - Big running decision, go with the race director time, or use your own clock time? We check the results over and over, searching for the answer to the time warp.
Age Division Fu Fus - Placing outside of the top three in your division, but your time would have won two younger divisions, go figure.
Your almost there - with only 4 miles left, spectators without a sense of distance.
Searching for The Magic Running Shoe - The quest for the shoe that will fly.

Excercise bike this morning, listening to CCR and the Beatles. 20.78 miles in 60 minutes.
Running injury note, usually don't like to say much about these issues: Have not run for a few days, compensating for the right knee has given me a bruise on the right ball of the foot. It is just about healed.
Stay Kool, hope to see you at the races, B of BS Rools out

Easy run, nice to run. Rather than blog about hurts, it was a bless and release day today. I released chains around my neck and said bless and release, without Amanda Dixon.

Bike 10 miles, after work. Nice to talk to a couple of long time (15 years) running buddies today. We have shared many commando point runs. Lost focus for a moment today, the challenge to regaining running as a passion? I plan on a 5 hour bike ride in the morning, try and get something that may be close to moderate long run. It has now been over 4 months. I can feel the running fitness fade away, 8 minute miles slowing becoming a dream.

Moutain bike along he parkway, 50.70 miles. converted to 12.60 cross training miles. Also, rode another 12 miles with Sylvie as she ran, cannot count these miles, too slow.
When running with Sylvie , counted 29 runners along the parkway. Sylvie running strong.
*Note, when got back from the bike ride, hopped into a cold shower, I think my body temp. was getting up.
Stay Kool, biking or running in the heat is not much fun. b of bs rools out
