PETER'S JOURNALS

 

KONA - #8 - 3 HOURS TO GO - SHIT, IS IT RAINING


October 19, 2002: Got up at 4 AM and it is raining SO hard out there.  I have never been in Kona where it has rained so hard so many days during race week.  I definitely think it has something to do with this race not taking place on the full moon.  My saddle and aero bars are going to be drenched.  I need to find some chain lube for my chain because that sucker isn’t going to have any oil left on it.  It is ugly out there.  At least it is a warm rain.

 I had two cans of Boost Plus for breakfast and a couple of cups of strong Kona coffee.

We are getting in the car for the drive to the Pier at 5:15 AM.

The plan is to do a 15-minute jog at 6AM and then listen to some good tunes until 6:45 AM then get in the water for my swim warm up.

The rain is coming down even harder now!!!!  Yikes!

Thanks for reading!!!!
