112 miles Bike and 26.2 miles Run. It is one of the most amazing things to witness. The roads are all closed down and Helicopters and journalists on Motorcycles follow the athletes. Blake and the Y.Men volunteered so the rest of our family went down to watch and be a part of the festivities. Oke and the boys all bought T-shirts and quickly changed into them to show their kokua to the racers. We saw the men's winner as he transitioned from bike to run. He was WAAAAY in front of his competitors. He finished the race in just over 6 hours. While we waited it out we enjoyed shave ice with ice cream in the middle ...quite a healthy snack considering where we were! WE did walk around a lot and went up steep hills. Oke is gearing up for his two marathons in DEC. "08 and February "09. His goal is to compete in the Ironman next year! Hats off to that one dude!!!!
Ford sponsored car in the water.
This cool family was from Australia. Their mum was racing.
Shave Ice!
