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: |

Nice night for a bike ride, 32 miles, good effort, raced three bikers for a couple of miles, passed them, they were on skinny tires against my commutter bike, held them off for two miles. 75 ball crunches with over the head weights, 2 sets bench, 2 sets dumbell side lifts and two sets pulls on slant board. Hopefully, run in the morning, feel recovered from the race.

Run with Sylvie, JRP, lagged behind today, no umph, maybe not quite recovered from the hard trail race last week. Enjoyed the run, seen RivPaul and T NA NA. Always exciting to see T NA NA, she gets so happy, like seeing your long lost best friend.
Maiden voyage on the Cervelo Tri Bike, 22.19 miles, up and down the long stretch between 7200 south and 7th west along the trail. The bike is scary fast when in the aero position, it will take some practice to get use to the handling when in aero. My first attempt at aero just south of Winchester, going good, all of a sudden round the corner and here is a lady with her kids, she is in my lane, veer to the right, go off the trail in the dirt, some how did not crash, back on the trail, HR 200, lesson learned, get off the aero on the turns. The lady was clueless.
Weights, 2 one min. wall squats, 75 ball crunches with overhead weights, bench two sets, side lifts and pulls. Nice day of working out, will do some bridges and stretching while watching TV later.
