Rest Day

Today was a great day to do a whole lot of nothing. We woke up and went down to the traditional underwear run, as you can see by the pictures below. One of my favorite memories of this run is the folks that think they need to wear their heart rate monitors for a 400 yard shuffle.....good god!!

My folks and I went down the Ironman Village and looked around a bit, while the rest of the gang stayed back and hung out at the pool. They started putting up the fencing and bleachers along Alii Drive and the media keeps on growing as we get closer to race day. Last year they had a handful of Navy Seals jump out of the plane and into the ocean, which appears to be on tap again for Saturday. However, there will be one individual that will jump out of the plane, land in the water, and will transition to do the Ironman.....Dave Goggins (an accomplished Ultra-marathoner and Navy Seal). That would be an interesting warm up to say the least.

Other than that, Natalie decided she wanted to do a photo shoot with the bike/uniform on the lava fields.........which I initially opposed, but they did turn out to be kind of fun.

They started shutting down a lot of the roads and come Friday evening, it will be very difficult to get around by car.

I will send out more tomorrow!
