First, a huge thank you to the Hawaii Cycling Club for putting on the Century Ride.  It was a fundraiser for Hospice Kona and had three distances to choose from.  I did a 62 mile ride with some great people and some challenging hill work.  If you're ever in Kona, check out their website.  They have some great cycling routes mapped out for you.  http://www.hawaiicyclingclub.com

The following day, I had a long run scheduled, and I wanted to head out the Natural Energy Lab.  Watching the Ironman race on television doesn't do it justice.  The hills seem never ending at times, but the view at the turn around point is stunning.  As my friends Robyn and Eric said a few days before on their run, they have a new respect for the triathletes that run the Ironman course.  I couldn't agree more.

All good things must eventually come to an end.  In a few days, I will be back in Winnipeg and swimming in the pool.  I hear that the snow is slowly melting and that a few people are starting to bike outside again.  That's definitely something positive to look forward to.
