Installment IV of the staggeringly popular CompuTrainer TV Live in Kona series. now rumored to be about to be picked up by the BBC for the Fall season. In this dramatic episode host Simon Ward talks with Abu Dhabi Triathlon Team star Rachel Joyce. Rachel was out for three months earlier in the year as a result of a freak accident suffered while hustling out of T1 in Abu Dhabi in March. She then talks about her rehab, return and now racing in Kona. We also get to meet Abdul.
It is now Friday of race week, last day at the expo and less than 24 hours to the start of the 2010 Ironman World Championships. The weather has been calm and mild all week and should be ideal for fast racing conditions tomorrow. Crowie and Chrissie will be gunning for repeats, his third and her fourth. They are the overwhelming favorites and barring mechanical disaster, should be back to the King K on Alii Dr right about the start time for the UW/ASU game.
Typically we start our race day coverage at 0400 from the pier and wrap up well after dark. We have a chance of getting out in one of the swim leg support boats as a result of a CompuTrainer sale to one of the boys from Jacks Dive Locker so water coverage could be special this year. As always the bike, run and finish will get our serious attention. Posts tomorrow could be sporadic, but we will give it the old college try. All this before the Dawgs take the field against the Sun Devils (and then again after).
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the folks who stopped by our booth, stood intrepid in front of the RCVman camera and took the time to share some Kona love with us. CompuTrainer users are a passionate group, as witnessed by the video testimonies, and we have long felt the responsibility to provide you with the best training products available in order for you to reach your racing dreams. For a LOT of our users than means being here, now at the 2010 Ford Ironman World Championships. You have earned it, now..…..
Enjoy the ride.

I think the Brits endure all this just for a few days in the sun each year...
