Kona Days 3 & 4

Training has been going well. Nothing special to report. Swimming in Kailua Bay each morning, riding the Queen K and running on Alii Drive. Here are a few photos






A shot of the lava fields that flank the Queen K highway where most of the bike ride takes place as well as part of the run.






The famous Banyon tree outside the King K Hotel at the start/finish.















Our new custom carbon tandem by Calfee Design. This is the best tandem I have ever ridden. Very fast. We were easily cruising at 45 km/h today.
























This is the pier where the race starts and hundreds of Ironmen come each morning for their daily swim.

    Wow dude... that bike looks SO sweet!

    Don't tire yourself out with all the biking and especially running... it must be hard to resist riding a brand new bike!

    Cheers,
