Aloha! I’m in KONA!

by Haley on October 8, 2013

It’s race week, folks! My absolute favorite time of year. In the two full days I’ve spent in Kona I’ve ridden on the famous Queen K Highway, run through the infamous Energy Lab, and swam with fish and turtles!

Race week also means reunions with friends! Today Betty and I had breakfast with a few of our favs, Team HPB superstars Alyssa and Julie!

In case you missed it, I did a fun pre-race interview with Herbert Krabel of Slowtwitch. We talked everything from airport food to tattoos, with a bit of Kona in between! Check it out via the link below:

I also chatted with Bloomberg’s Mike Buteau about triathlon becoming an NCAA sport. Spoiler alert! I am VERY much for it! Check out the video here:

Stay tuned, because there’s still LOTS more to come from the Big Island! And as always, Mahalo for reading!!
