DIGME'S GOING OFF!
Monday, 11th
October, 6 days to go and the bodies just seem to get harder.
Mate, I went for a walk after writing this mornings update, all
psyched up and no where to go!
I have it
good, I’ve been here 30 hours, been lei’d twice and my wife
doesn’t arrive until Thursday, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?
To tell you
the truth, Anthony travel lei’d me upon arrival and then Don
Ryder and fellow commentator and all around nice guy lei’d me
secondly. We just so happen to be surrounded by nice people,
triathlon has that affection and infliction.
So, the pier
this morning. As I sat on the wall and took several pics, most
on
www.ironmanlive.com and on my photo page, or accompanying
the story, athletes both in the race and supporting. There were
ripped units to not so ripped units, but all seemed to have the
same thing on their minds, having a pleasant swim in the
Pacific. The water temp is 80 Fahrenheit and 27 Celsius. Perfect
for the skinny Ironman athletes and perfect for Digme Beach.
After sitting and people watching for over an hour, it was off
to work. We recorded our first interviews today the first being
Ryan Sutter. Ryan was featured on last years Bachelorette on
ABC. Ryan was the final guy receiving a red rose from his soon
to be wife. The dream wedding took place in Palm Springs
California and was televised on ABC.
Since the
show, the happy couple has settled in Vail Colorado and Ryan
continues to fire fight, but his new found passion is Ironman
triathlon.
Ryan starts
his quest Saturday morning as the cannon sounds at 7am. You can
check Ryan’s interview at
www.ironmanlive.com under the video tab of Ironman’s
exclusive coverage.
The weather
here has been great. Lori Bowden road her bike up to Hawi today
and said that the wind was around 5mph, WOW, that’s nothing.
The weather
in town was humid, like always but the clouds seem to be
lowering down the mountains.
The expo
opened for a bit today but the official opening is tomorrow
night after the parade. The parade starts at 5pm and finishes at
the expo at 5.30pm.
It’s all
happening here, don’t want to give you too much, want to string
you out a little. I’m tired, Nighty night. |
