Finally it is here Camp day #1!
3 km ocean swim in the morning, followed by an amazing coffee from Kope Lani.
We were suppose to drive straight back but of course Karl-Fritz (also known as David) had to have his coffee, so he made us late for the ride. Thanks Karl-Fritz!
The ride of the day was the Ironman course from Kona to Hawi and back! Of course I had to have 3 flats with my new bike:(!
First one was in the first 30 km and the 2nd one during the time trial that Tara threw in there!! Who does that?
The last flat occurred on the way back home. We were all together riding and having fun and there came flat number three! Tara told everybody to keep riding so they could make it back to the house in time.
Took us a while changing the tire due to CO2 issues but once it was fixed Tara was on a mission to get home before dark.
Yikes, pedal to the metal and of we went. We were flying and I was smiling that I was able to stay on her wheel. I turned myself a few times inside out but I was determined not to give up. What a ride it was!!
Thanks Tara for that, I am still smiling:).
We were not able to run after, as it was to dark. The rule is you have to be done before it is dark.
Great first day.
