This morning Jen, Rob, and I woke up around 6:00 Am, and drove into town around 7:00. We ate breakfast at the Java Lava coffee shop, and I munched on some whole wheat pancakes, egg whites, and a small bowl of fruit...not to mention the best glass of Kona coffee I've ever had! After breakfast we walked down to the swim start to check out the scenery. In my opinion there were way to many European men sporting their skimpy speedo swimsuits, so it was time to move on!

Right off of the beach there was a ART (Active Release Technique) tent so I decided to take a time out, and get some work done on my calfs, hip, upper and lower back. They spent nearly 40 minutes working out the little kinks and I feel really good right now because of it.

After the massage, the three of us wondered into what I call the Ironman registration trap. In order to get to registration, you have to pratically walk through the Ironman merchandise store. Needless to say I spent more money on Ironman swag, t-shirts, coffee mugs, calendars, you name it I bought it. I proceeded onto registration. It was actually pretty painless. The lines were still short, and I was in and out in 10 minutes.

Now it's time to relax. I'm back at the house just laying down watching TV. Our house is really cool. We're on the third floor of this huge house overlooking the ocean.
