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: |

5 a.m, spinning at Deseret palms, spin until the first class at 6 a.m, then spin until the next class, almost 4 hrs spinning. My legs were getting a little tired, Steve O, great motivator, coach without knowing it, take every opportunity to get better, he simulated Gunlock and the Wall. 18 cross training miles, about 72 miles biking. It really helps to have someone get you motivated. Almost stayed for the next class, got kicked out and needed to wait if there was an open bike, headed home.
My second coach of the day, Sylvie says: were doing a brick today get ready, she ran and coached me for a 4 mile hard trail run up and down turtle wall. I got some new wave riders, first pair, better for rolling and landing on the toes, really made a difference, followed coach's techniques, ran the furthest in months without stopping, maybe there is hope. It was a beautiful Stg day, wow, what a great run in the red rocks, hikers, runners, climbers. Some ladies were coming down off the top as we were running up, they all gave us cudos saying impressive, pretty hard last hundred yrds to the top.
Feeling, feeling better about the prep, keep after it, and after it. The workouts just get tougher from here.
