I Love This Island!
I went for my first run down Alii drive yesterday and I forgot how much I love this island. There is truly something magical about this place. There is an intangible quality that I really can’t describe…perhaps it is the “Ironman Spirit” or the “Hawaii Spirit.” Whatever it is, the Hawaiian islands really need to be seen and experienced to understand. Additionally, the same is true for the Ironman World Championships!Another reason I love this Island is the fact that my wife and I got married here last year after the race. We decided to celebrate our 1 year anniversary with a fantastic dinner at Brown’s Beach House an amazing restaurant at the Fairmont Orchid Resort in Waikaloa. We wanted to go to dinner after the race, but due to all the different post race celebrations we decided to go to dinner early in the week. This is the same restaurant that we went to after our wedding ceremony last year. Oh man that was an amazing dinner, the scenery was amazing, and the company was fantastic. We were right on the beach and watched the sun set before our eyes! Here are some shots from the evening.
I hope everyone is enjoying all the Kona festivities, whether you are here or following online.
Thanks,
