2 days to go!
This morning I got in an early swim which felt great in my new BlueSeventy PointZero 3 seventeen, which is the 2009 version of the PointZero3+. The suit is a little more snug through the mid section, has slightly different panel construction and also features a sliver back panel so that the hawaiian sun is reflected for cooler temperatures. Then I went for a quick spin with some friends and it was onto LavaJava and the expo.This is the one time of year where I actually get to meet many people who I have been e-mailing and calling for over a year. Although technology makes communication easier, there is no substitute for meeting a person face to face. So the late morning was spent talking to a lot of folks in the industry as well as being a member of the Timex Multisport Team panel on the expo village stage to answer questions about Timex, the team and being a professional athlete. The Timex tent also a big picture of me riding my bike, of course you would never know it was me…but it’s big and it was kind of fun to see.
Ashley and I are on a fish taco tour. We have been going to as many different restaurants we can trying their fish taco. After all we are in Hawaii and where else to gorge ourselves on fish!? Today’s selection, Killer Taco, a local place in the Kona industrial area which you we never would have known about if it wasn’t for the guide book. After lunch Ashley and I went back to our condo where I immediately fell a sleep for almost 2 hours! Right before a race, rest is the best!
