And start work

Kona Day Three

It is simultaneously winding down as it is ratcheting up. One more day of Expo, a balmy nights rest and 0400 for the Ironman 31 wake up call.

Had another fantastic day yesterday. Sold a few units, which is never the main objective here, the idea is more promotion and "presence", than sales, opened the door for a new cross promotion with a local coffee roaster (Buy the Kona RCV and get a sample of local dark roast), and conducted a series of successful meetings with the boys from IM. Whatever we would like to do is OAK with them, mahalo. Also had another great day of interviews, visiting with Steve and Bella, Fearless Phillip Graves and Scott Neyedli whom should all be contending for podium spots Saturday.

It is so much fun to have our users actually come by to talk about the CT and the RCVs. Validating to have the number one question be, "What will be the next RCV release", followed immediately by "and when?"

Yes we have created a demand. The entire line will go up on the Ironmanlive.com site upon my return and remix. Plus they want to test a new "athlete tracking" system where friends, family and race fans of athletes wearing an ankle transmitter can "see" video of where they are on the course. Cool Hawaiian breeze, mates. Can do.

This morning Simon and I are heading down to the swim start to shoot some underwater video and then its back to the Expo for one last show. We close at noon today, and then I might even get in a run. Weather has been perfect and looks to hold for Saturdays main event. We scored VIP tickets for the banquet Sunday night and then Monday is reverse getaway day and back to Seattle.

For work to begin.
