The Hawaii-ironman-will You Be There?
Its been a long time since I raced in Kona, but I don’t believe the Ironman-Hawaii course has changed all that much.
The swim course I’m sure, is much the same as it was back in the early 80’s. Its truly unforgettable. Water so warm, that wetsuits are unnecessary. Tropical fish to marvel at for pretty well the length of the entire course. Water so clear, the bottom is clearly visible. The better to see the scuba divers sitting on the ocean floor, waving at you. Then making the turn at captain bean’s boat with the bright orange sails—crowded to overflowing with spectators.
