Kona Baby!

At the Pier today for some triathlete watching:)

Well the time change, traveling and humidity has all settled in and I am here in beautiful Kona! I forgot just how special this place really is. However it didn't take much, basically stepping off the plane and feeling the temperature did it for me. So far it's been amazing and my last bits of training are going well! I've been visualizing this course since Whistler Ironman and now I can actually be on the course rather than just imagine that I'm sweating buckets running out on the Queen K :)  Today after my run I headed down to the pier for some triathlete watching and a dip in the ocean. No swim, after my big adventure yesterday, about 2.7 miles swimming with the fishes. The condo we are staying at is super perfect ( thank you Kay Howells!!!!)for being away from the hub but not a far drive into town. I usually like to stay away from the chaos it helps the brain and the body and the pool here overlooks the ocean ...ahhhhh it's epic:) Can't wait to share this experience so I'll be checking in in my blog from time to time.  Thats all for now but there will be plenty of picture posting going on so stay tuned!
