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: |

Spin 1 hr 30 minutes, good IM effort - watching the tour
5.25 mile run with Sylvie and Roxie, nice to have them leading the way, good to run on tired, legs, little brick - seen DC and his daughter and a few other runners, gave a couple of high fives. Nice morning for a run. My running endurance needs improvement, keep after it.
Back on the spin bike for another 1 hr 30 minutes, watching the tour, good IM effort, legs were starting to get the burn.
Weights, squats, swimming band pulls, ball crunches with 30lb weight, etc.
Very nice way to start the week, hope to swim the next four days in a row before the big work out on friday, doing the Provo boat harbor open swim and riding the course.

Tri workout with a bunch of hardcore Tri Geeks, Provo boat harbon, 1/2 mile swim, water was nice, calm, then road the Utah Half distance, 56 miles bike course, nice hard ride 95% effort, road with the lead pack of 4 the first 8 miles, lost them at a traffic stop when a could not get past one of the bikers, tried for 10 miles to bridge the gap, could not do it as they were in a train going like heck. Rode the last 10 miles to the turnaround with an IM guy, good pace. I need my Tri bike, down in STG, road my road bike, the Tri bike is faster.
Road back with a gal who qualified for nationals, the guy I rode part of the first half with passed us, left her and road in with him the next 18 miles, good hard pace, while to gals drafted off us.
It was nice to get a good workout close to race pace on a hot day, simulate race conditions.
Ran 4 miles after the bike.
*Note, Devine was a Tri Geek today with us, kicking butt, she is a born hardcore chick.
Stay Kool, b of BS Rools out
Keena was great, looking for a Tri coach, she is the best, has some great athletes she is coaching.
