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.

B of BS Rools Recent Reading List - In order of recommended reads.

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: |

2500 yrds, 50 aps - SHAC - wow, that pool is chilly - if you stop for a minute you start to get cold, keeps you swimming to stay warm. I tried water socks this morning, see if they would help, no way, just got water logged, maybe there are better ones, but, no way ray.
Hopefully, Mtn biking later today with Sylive, bought her a real nice mountain bike for XMas.
Awaken - maybe, kept watching another guy swim today, he was moving very slow with his stroke, but, going much faster than me, tried a few laps with slower arm turnover and catching water, yeh, it did help, still may get a couple of swim lessons. A lady in the next lane, being kind, I think, said - you have the endurance, you need help with technique, get some lessons.
