| Location: MURRAY,UT,US Member Since: Jan 01, 2006 Gender: Male Goal Type: Other Running Accomplishments: Stay in the game, keep in the moment - have conquered a few of the holy grails of running - sub 3hr marathon, ran Boston and qualified for Boston at Boston, 10K PR under 6 min miles, won a couple of 5Ks in my early days of running, running for 30 years and ran 38 marathons. 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 = Provo Half IM - have done 6 open water Tris and 5 pool Tris. Short-Term Running Goals: 2012 Race Plan - STG IronMan - the rest of the year will need to wait. I may do a 10k or two before the IM, maybe sprint Tri. - the journey has begun - keep on keeping on, faster on the swim and big, more endurance on the run.
*note of clarification - cross training miles from biking and swimming calculated as follows: (as someone may wonder) 20 mile an hour bike = 5 cross training miles (those not familar with a 20 mph pace, good bike effort for long distance, swimming, convert 1 hour swimming to 5 cross training miles. For those that do not swim much, great cardio workout. Long-Term Running Goals: Enjoy the Run thru Life - Hope to Run a Few Races Support Sylvie - Be a good coach - long term goals, recover from the SF, accept was it, have fun racing, mountain biking, faste swimming.

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: |

Early morning swim, working on tech, grabbing the water, swim 1,000 yrds. Pool felt nice, two other swimmers. No one talks while swimming? Wonder why?
Spin, 1 hr, 22.55 miles = 5.6 cross training miles

Milly, cheetah - 13 min mile pace, good efforts, legs a little tired from the half. Spin 28 miles. Nothing exciting to blog - considering doing the Zion century ride next month as IM workout. Checking with a couple of my Tri Geek people, see if they want to ride it with me and attempt to avg 20 miles per hr.
