Today started with an option to swim pool or ocean. Lisa, Anja and I opted for the pool and apparently it was the right decision. As we drove back to the house we commented on how rough the ocean looked and sure enough, Etienne said you could not even sight the coast guard buoy from the Kings buoy. David said the way home was fun as they body surfed the waves. I am glad I went to the pool.
I swam 6000 at the pool and did the IM set, 10 x 200 set and the 1000 band only for a lot of points 
While I especially love swimming open water here, the Kona pool is amazing. And I was much warmer than when I swim in the ocean. Good way to start day 4.
Up next was our 5K run predict within a 10K run. As I warmed up for 5K I could really feel the fatigue setting in. I actually felt better yesterday heading out on my run, after a 3K swim and 180K bike with a million miles of climbing! So I only predicted a 24min 5K and came in at 23:44 – only 16s off my prediction It was HOT! But once again, the few bits of intensity for me at these camps always feel good (once they are over, LOL). Everyone ran well and everyone was faster than their predictions. Sweet!
The ride to “Pretty Beach” (as we call it), aka Kua Bay was fun. A wee stop at the BikeWorks bike shop to pick up Michele who had a bike fit appointment and off we finally went. Anja and I pushed hard all along the Queen K Highway to the turn. Fun! It was fast. The view at Pretty Beach really is spectacular and seems to be our main place for photo ops. On our way home, Lisa pulled out in front and I was sure to catch the ‘LISA LOVE TRAIN’ – she was flying - All the way to the airport! Thanks for the pull Lisa – it was nice to be pulled along for the first time this camp.
A nice stop for our favourite cubano coffee from Kope Lani and easy spin home. Then dinner and massages. Good end to another beautiful day. Thank goodness tomorrow is rest day because my legs need a wee rest!
Bring on the dolphins tomorrow morning please
