The day started with breakfast as usual followed by a ride out from the Sheraton onto the Queen K highway. This is where the majority of the race happens on the bike. Look for a picture from the Day three blog. Very stark landscape.
I met everyone down at the pier - where the swim starts and where the transitions are for the race for a nice mile"isn" open water swim.
I have taken a picture here with my bike and Beth every year I have raced. This time is was Aiden.
I went straight form the swim over to the King Kemeha Hotel for Athlete registration. Fast and efficient process. This race is good for a quick check in.
Boom. Smile and all. I do this pose every year.
A few pics from inside the registration area. All of the blue shirts are volunteers.
I went straight from registration (without buying a thing) back to the hotel and had an hour massage.
During the massage, he had fun.
First year I raced it was orange. Last year it was green. This year it's blue.
Faris Al Sutans bike. The dude won this race in a speedo. Hero.
My birth year. Bud light sponsored.
They gave us quality back packs this year as apposed to shit that breaks before you try to zip it up.
Aiden and I then had a hour submarine tour with Atlantis subs. AWESOME experience here and a good time with him. The sub goes down 100 feet and you jet around and see all kinds of awesome stuff including two shipwrecks.
Down the hatch
I love this picture. The photographer gave me the pic for free because I was a DENVER BRONCO FAN!
ABC stores were my favorite growing up so I made him say cheese.
Then my fellow coach of IPA Endurance randomly showed up. Bill, you are the shit.
We watched the parade of nations at fish hoper, watched a good sunset, then called it a night.
