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: |

Bike ride out in the day, nice 20 ride, my feet were darn cold. I seem several dog walkers, a bike rider dressed like in Siberia, and two runners. No one said hi, one runner nodded, I guess that counts in guy talk.

60 minutes, ARC trainer, avg HR -142, good workout, both arms and quads. This machine is the best cross-training for runner, it seems. Spin class later 60 minutes with Sylvie.
Chatted with Brett for a few minutes today, long time, running buddy. We talked about some of the tough and crazy runs we had together. He ran his first marathon after starting to run with me. He now has passed me in the number of marathons.
