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. Short-Term Running Goals: 2013 Race Plan - STG Half IronMan, Lake Mead Rage Olympic distance, STG spring relay tri, STG half marathon, STG marathon, Cozumel IM, Utah Summer Games Triathlon at Gunlock, Murray 5k with family and Utah Half Distance Triathlon, 187 mile red rock relay, STG marathon, *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.

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: |

Hobble the Hobble, going into this race, somewhat beat up from the race a couple of weeks ago and did not know what to expect. As usual, the race started an hour late, me and
Sylvie lined up about 12 rows from the front. Last year, lined up in the back and expended too much effort getting around runners, running side by side. Well, make the runners pass me this time. Pre - race stuff, talked to the Straley brothers, talked to Tina about old race times with Leno. We found a nice place on the hill side, close to bushes, and with soft tree bark for setting. Enjoyed the people watching.
The start, no warmup, save it for the race. Ran the first four miles, hit mile 4 at 31:58, not fast, but fast for me. These are the easiest miles, the next four miles my goal was to stay under 9 min miles, goal met, the last 4 miles were a grind, the pace, given my limited running, was ambitious. Funny, a few old guys were cheering for the old guy at mile 8, I looked around, it was me. Avg. pace for the race 8:43, a post knee surgery PR for the have, 4 minutes faster than the Ogden Half, happy with the effort, it would have been nice to hold on longer. I almost caught Sylive going up the hill after mile ten, got within 20 yrds, she crested the hill and was gone. I have her 2 to 1 in half marathons this year.
Reverse Brick Day - rode 24 miles on the bike when we got home, tiring ride, but needed.
Positive about the race, was not last, don't know my div. or overall placing, left shortly after the race. Sylvie was upset, the shirt sizes suck again for women, this unisex stuff just does not work well.
Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out
12th in div. 24 in div.
