An early morning swim from the Kona Pier was first on the to
do list this morning and I was in good company. We were joined by Chris Lieto
and a few other athletes as we swan 2km of the Ironman course. A pod of
dolphins join us for part of the session which is always special.
A quick breakfast and it was time for an easy spin on the
bike with Guy and Chris Lieto (not going to lie I was pretty excited). Chris
took us on a scenic tour 90min ride from town which took in some amazing views and fun descents.
The decision was made to get all out training done early and
relax for the rest of the day so Guy, Kate and I headed out for a 40min run.
The run was 1min @ IM pace, 1min @ Half IM pace, 3min easy. A perfect taper
week run!
The afternoon was spent relaxing which was really nice, a
spot of shopping then to the famous Huggos on the Rocks few a few drinks and a
classic Hawaiian sunset, followed by dinner at Bongo Bens.

Thursday morning was my day off. I had a sleep before
packing up our condo for the move to the Hilton Waikoloa. Kate’s parents
arrived so Kate and Guy went and picked them up while I explored Alii Drive,
did some tourist shopping and had my first hair cut in a shop for 6 years! We
met up for some lunch and more shopping before heading out to new home. The
Hilton Waikoloa is an AMAZING hotel (see photos below). An early night before a
busy day getting organised for the race on Friday.
