The beat is getting stronger here in Kona. Last night we had the Ironman XC leadership over along with a number of friends and had a delightful evening. We grilled some fresh Ahi, Mahi-Mahi, and chicken. A few beers, lots of laughs and some spirited Bocce led to a great night!
This morning, the prior day's festivities led to a slightly later swim session for me. We then proceeded to get our VIP credentials and I went to officially register. VIPs get to go in a different line with the pros and so I found myself at the front of the line with Chris Macdonald. A guy came out and blew his shell 4 times to officially start the registration process. Chris and I walked in and some 100 volunteers clapped very loudly--really cool experience.
I went for a run and then over to the Ironman Expo and took a photo op with Apollo. Later that night was the Parade of Nations and then I went out to the airport to pick up my Mom, who arrived tonight. A lof of activities now, but my main priority is to put my feet up as much as possible....
