Let 'er Rip




Day Three II

Nine at night the night before the big event. We're up at 0400 in the morning so I won't be able to fire off a post prior to the Pros start at 0645. Weak I know. It's a long day out there so my next post may not be until late Saturday night after the winners have been determined, fireworks imploded and IVs initiated. RCVman will, however, be capturing enough race footage to supply a thousand posts in the near future, so please be patient with the crew. Even going to try to get some swim shots with the new SurfPro that we sea tested this morning (with great results).

Glad we have a spin class a few hours after touching down back in Seattle Tuesday morning as after another spectacular dinner at the Kona Inn, I am officially five pounds overweight.

Have a pleasant evening and we see you after all the Ironman have traversed the 140.6 miles of the World Championship course.

Let 'er rip.

Simon, our waitress at the Kona Inn, and Ryan. Good Luck to #1048, and the scene at Digg Me Beach this morning. In less than 1o hours 1,800 of this planet's fastest long course triathletes will be here at the start of their IM journey.
