KONA - KONA - KONA

It’s getting close and I am so excited !! It’s so fun to be back on the Big Island – seeing friends and doing final race prep !

The Pictures say it all….

IM World Champion Chrissie Wellington, Catrina Morrison and I at the airport at LAX




Norman Stadler and baby on the Flight to Kona



Had fun training with a great friend from Spokane Sam – we rode the top half of Hawi on a real windy day and practiced the descent –
I want to be able to hammer down – NO FEAR !!





A seriously windy day - gusts up to 35 mph




Doing the Blue Water Swim Race at Kukio Bay with friends Kevin Moats and Laura Sophiea



We had some good friends over for dinner, here I am with Morgan Clark owner of All3Sports !!
One stop shopping for all your on-line Triathlon needs....



It was a great night that also included Don Bosch from Knoxville, Morgan, Holly from GU, myself and Eric Bell - pro triathlete also from Knoxville. The evening really was a blast - it is so fun to see friends throughout the week.



Myself, Morgan and Holly !!
It was so great to see Holly again - GU has been a great Sponsor of mine and Holly is a super friend !!

  1. This was a great ride with an amazing triathlete. You rock Heather. The winds were tough but they will die during the race with you fighting threw them. Sam
