Tomorrow I am going to Kona to volunteer for the World Championship Ironman Competition that takes place on Saturday. The race is a mega triathlon consisting of a 2 mile swim, a 120 mile bike ride, and a marathon run (26 miles) all in one day! Sounds like fun, huh?
I will be working at a transition point somewhere along the course. I haven't been given my exact assignment yet. I'm assuming it will be helping the athletes change from swim gear to bike gear. The race is going to be taped by ABC but won't be televised until December 19.
The forecast for Kona is 85 degrees and sunny all weekend. All of the interns from KMC are going to the big event. We are staying for three nights so we'll have plenty of time to explore the warm and touristy side of the Big Island.
