We jumped back into training after Tremblant. Six weeks to recover and train up to the world championship race which has a reputation of being the toughest race on the Ironman circuit. We also decided to make this trip into the family vacation we planned for later the year and for Mexico.

I am happy to report that both goals were doable despite the little time we had. I got there properly trained and in good shape. Hats off to a coach who knows what he is doing and has first hand Kona racing experience. We also got convenient plane tickets, good hotels and rental cars at reasonable rates.

No such thing as too late, I guess, when it comes to going to your dream race.
