Kona Thursday







Thursday of race week in Kona. LOTS has gone gone down and all of it good, big time stuff. I will talk about how good very soon, but for today here is a set of stills from the pro race brief. Top to bottom:

Norman Stadler doing his best Jackson Browne imitation.
Farris al Sultan looking fit as a fiddle.
Chrissy Wellington with her bouquet as reigning IM Queen.
And my heros Thomas Hellreigel and Luke van Lierde still after it.

Go to www.Ironmanlive.com for a link to the (much discussed) Kona DVD and a terrific recap of the RCV Fun Ride from Ironman senior editor and all around great guy Kevin Mackinnon.

Oh, and we're shooting from the pack on Saturday.

Like I said, big time stuff. I will get in a longer, more detailed report after the Expo closes tomorrow at noon. That's five Central. Then again, better count on six Cenrtal as we're still on Hawaii time.

Aloha and Mahalo.
