Blog entry about Hawaii from two athletes in Kona

Click on this link and read their blog. These are two very cool triathletes that formerly lived in Victoria. They now live wherever they want in an RV. They are in Hawaii right now so that Heather can prepare for the world championships and her husband Trevor is training with her. I read their blog and instantly got butterflies in my stomach. I am much like Trevor with my fear of the water, as rational or irrational as it is. We are staying in the Captain Cook area that they swam at.
Tammy and I are going to have to keep our expectations realistic considering all these athletes are already in Kona preparing for the race on Oct. 10. We are arriving 9-10 days in advance, and we hope that is enough time to get our bodies somewhat ready for the oven we are going to be racing in.
In a way, I wish we could have prepared for this race as a peak race but on the other hand we also don't have any pressure for any time goals. We have to go with a humble respect for the race and try not to end up in the hospital. Much better athletes than us have been destroyed by this race.

Can't wait!!!!
