Well, Peter Han left today for Chicago. He’s still nervous
about his marathon. We told him he should consider buying
some new racing flats tomorrow. It’s always good to try at
least one new thing in every big race. I could see he was
considering it at he left for the airport. PH, if you’re
reading this, we were just kidding about the racing flats!
Don’t do it, man! Just have a great race and STOP
worrying. It’s just a damn race!
He had his screening of “What it Takes” at the carbo party
last night. Through no fault of the film it didn’t go as
planned. I guess what he paid for and what he got were
quite different things. Isn’t that always the way? There
are a lot of bad people out there.
Pete, myself and Paul Regensburg hooked up at Lava Java
today and went out for a 40 minute easy run. We ended up
running to the Kona Harbor and back. The 40 minutes turned
into 60 minutes. The “easy” pace turned up a notch or three
as we came back down the Drive. Is it even possible to jog
slowly on that road outside of race day?
We bumped into Tom Evans out there. He looks lean and
sounded confident. Be nice to see the Canadian boy have a
good one!
Our friend Trevor “T-Mac” McReynolds is scheduled to arrive
in an hour. We’re gonna jet out to the airport and pick him
up. T-Mac rounds out the three amigos on this trip. He
doesn’t do triathlons but he’s a fan of the sport and can
bike the shit out of Pete and I right now. Parties are
better when T-Mac is there and we’re looking forward to him
getting here. The only thing is, I don’t know if he’s ever
been on a paddle board. Should be interesting when we tell
him what he’s signed up for race day!
