This is the Ironman swim course. The little boat with the red sail - they serve coffee from this boat. You can swim right up to it and get a cuppa Joe on your swim. Only in Kona . . .
I have plans to get better underwater fish pictures after the race - this was a quick shot as I swam out on the course.
"Dig Me Beach" is in the background. The name says it all - its where everyone goes to check out everyone else in Kona. It's also the entrance to the swim course.Kestrel checked out my bike. I actually put it in a box, reassembled it and did not screw anything up! Rock on!! Zoot gave us arm coolers - you keep them wet and they keep you COOL.
GU came out with two new flavors. The package on the left is pineapple - original packaging huh?! But check out the holiday flavor - vanilla gingerbread!
