Recently, in October 2012, we visited Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i to see our dear friend, Beto Navarro compete.. that is a whole blog in itself! We traveled with all our running gear, Biking gear and Tri-Bikes, swim gear, scuba gear.. etc.. It was an athletic filled two weeks! WE continued our training for our first half ironman (11.11.12) in Miami.. We didn't want the thrill of vacationing in Hawaii get in the way of our training. Here are a few pictures of that trip, our bike workouts/etc.. Training here truly was an experience! Swimming alongside Chrissie Wellington, Biking along the same Queen K highway as all the big name athletes and staying at the same hotel as Crowie, Craig Alexander were some of the highlights of this trip! We had never biked hills like the hills of Hawaii.. I'll never forget Kaleopapa street... woah baby! that was no hill! it was a steep mountain! lol
