Well we're less than two days out from the biggest race of my life, and the atmosphere is pure chaos. The day started off with a swim at Dig me beach. This is where the Ironman swim start begins and ends. I swam for 32 minutes, and felt really strong. The tide wasn't very bad, but the salt water was extremely potent. They say that the salt concentration is way more strong here in Kona and I could really tell. Hopefully it'll keep me more buoyant in my new Blue Seventy skin suit.

After the swim we went back to the house to shower up, and after cleaning up we headed back into town for lunch. We ate at the best sushi joint in town. This was the second time I ate here this week and can't get enough. The "You make the roll" shop was hard to find, and well recommended by our kayak tour guide. Well worth the find if you live ever come to Kona.

After lunch Jen and I went to the Ironman village to listen to some of the pro's talk about race advice, nutrition tips, and miscellaneous Q&A sessions. It was really cool to meet the best athletes in the world. Here are some of the people I got to chat to.

The great Dave Scott (6 time Ironman World Champion)

Rutger Beke (4th Overall at 2005 Ironman World Championship)

Heather Fuhr (1997 Ironman World Champion)
