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: |

Run north along JRP with Sylvie and Roxie, Sylvie put me through a workout, asked me if I was recovered from STG marathon, I said 99%, that is all I had to say, chased her for 8 miles, 95% running, good workout for me on tired legs from yesterday, need more of those gut checkers, get em harder and harder. Anyway, always run better with someone to chase. Spin 28 miles watchin 2011 Kona, seems like dream, hope to get back to the IM.
We seen just a couple of runners, seen DC and has daughter running, DC is such a likeable guy, gave us a high five. Good start to the week, get is some consistent training.

The week grinds on, the days get shorter, the time til freedom from the daily work grind seem far off, only 4 months, retirement - hum, more time to train and enjoy the outdoors, write my story, I do have a few stories to tell.
Back to the workout, bought new buds, helped get pas 48 miles spinning, legs seem to be getting stronger, start the build up, climb the wall a few times, get back to swimming, trail run in the sand, then do it again and again. Find a hill the likes me, do it again and again. I had an old gent at the Snow Canyon TT say: getting older is all about endurace, not speed, hope to prove him wrong.

48 cross training miles, good solid effort - work days are messing up the training, snow today. Tricky, what do i do? Sign up for IMAZ or Cozomel? About $5,000 for a IM vacation to Cozomel vs. $1200 to IMAZ? No wetsuit for Cozomel? wow, decisions, decisions.

Brick - 1 mile swim and Park Centre, 20 mile bike, and 5.25 mile run with Sylvie and Roxie.
Felt better than expected on the run, ran about 90% of the run, maybe some running endurance is coming back. Tending three grand kids tonight, should be fun.

25 laps, 1250 yrds, Murray Park center, got kicked out by the high school swim team, really sucks, they can just show up and kick anyone out of the pool. I will not renew my membership. 44 miles spinning watching Kona and BYU football, nice endurance spin. This is the biggest week I have had for a few months, trying to ramp back up the training. Get back at swimming.
