2008 Honu Race End of Training Party

Laurie and I have been discussing where to have this event. We feel that Du Vin should be fun. For those of you who have forgotten where this fine establishment is just head to Bethel St. (it's where Mel's going away party was). The party is open to all of tri friends even if you didn;t do the clinic this year. We'd love to catch up with all of you so please plan on coming once we decide when it is.

We also have a few other things to discuss later with everyon who is the clinic.

2008 70.3 Half Ironman May 31st

I will be headng up to Kona on Thursday May 29th around 1:30 pm. and returning late (I think it's 7:30 pm) on Sunday June 1st. (Lauire I'll need a ride to the airport for the return :)) I have a reserved a SUV. I'm hoping we can get the Condo again and split amoung a bunch of us. I know there are at least 5 people so far interested.

Again we are hoping to ship the bikes via Aloha as we did last time. If not I know the bikes shops offer a ship and prep program. Hopefully someone can get some details on this. The other alternative is to buy a bike box and tear down your bike for bosing then reassemble when you get there.

As with last year, by sharing the condo we can help each prep and get ready for the race. In addition we can do a Costco run for food! There was a lot of input from everyone.

Time Confirmed. I should be done by 10:15 or so. Let's plan on meeting at Mokuleia Beach Park along the fence that surronds the airfield at 11:00 am. It will be a nice hot ride!
