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: |

Time to ride with the big boys - Epic ride for me today - met my Tri-coach Dianimal at her house in south jordan - our goal ride to the top of Mill creek canyon and back to her hourse. We picked up three of ther Tri-buddies on redwood and 78th south. Right away, 3 very good riders, step it up. Howie, Bill and another rider who dropped off the pace and was not seen after the first 10 miles (he may have turned around) - Bill has rode the triple bypass twice, three long killer hills, a real epic ride for roadies and is doing a full Iron man in a couple of months.
The ride was on - Howie soon was setting the pace, he could leave us whenever he choose, we hung together until we hit the hills climbing up to Wasatch blvd, Howie would surge ahead, me and Bill were about eqaul and would stay together. Dianimal would drop back on the hills, she did a killer weight workout yesterday with her trainer on the quads and gluts. I asked her if she was crazy, no more crazy than usual.
We stayed together until we hill Millcreek, Howie left us in the dust, he is a star in the making, needs work on his running, great on the swim and bike ride. Me and Bill jockied all the way to the top climbing 9 miles up Millcreek and finished together. We stopped at the upper gate and waited for Di, she quickly feel behind again as we climbed. Reaching the top, the riders were takling about Newbies could not do this ride, what about this Newbie, they all said, your not a newbie if you can do this ride. Total miles 56.
Side note, my brakes were not working right coming down Millcreek, the group waited, Bill adjusted by brakes, thanks. It was a long, hard, fun ride.

Early mornng run with Sylive, she kicked by butt, nice to run with her again. Sylvie is getting much stronger on the hills, out ran me on the uphill over the bridge. Slyvie has set her goal on placing at St.George this year, she did it a few years ago. This is the start of my buildup to finish St.George, 10 miles next week, and so on. The run was an attempt to simulate a long run after the hard bike ride yesterday, always run on tired legs. Hopefully, this will help give me the endurance to finish St.George. What a beautiful morning.

Easy day - upper body weights, 60 minutes spinning - moderate effort.
Feel like a slacker today - need more work.
Spin 24 minutes, while Sylvie and Cameron were shaving the cat. Last time I helped, came away with many scratches.

No expectations for this race, good thing. Sylvie ran a 26:00. Many thoughts were running, legs were not. If this race were a reality show, it may be titled:
Brutally honest - can't run fast if you don't run fast
Smack of real - mind says go, body is out to lunch
Chicked by grandma - several
It is easy for me to say, oh, just nice to be part of the race, what the heck with pace. My real thoughts, I want to be a player, in the game. This will pass, but, my mind will never accept being towards las.....
Happy Thoughts, work harder and harder, harder and harder. The game is on Garth.
Social - talked to several runners were have not seen for years, nice to see how they are doing.
Sylvie - she is on the verge of a fitness surge, she is running city creek in the morning, she will be ready for her new Div. Sep. 11th - look out.
Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out
Crossing Train - 60 minutes on the spin bike,
Family - Happy, held and kissed by grandson, happy day, cute, cute.
