Ironman also has its big sale of products and people are quite content to stand in line for 30 mins+ to score a bargain! People are buzzing around Kona Town doing the last minute shop, having their last shave ice, last Kona coffee, last....... before they jet off home.
While in town doing our "last minutes", we met up with our friends Brendan, Erika and Les Brauer from our Wingham days, and it was great to congratulate Brendan on his fantastic result at his first Hawaii Ironman! - 10hrs 4mins on that tough course with really tough conditions this year
We were lucky enough to be able to share Ironman week with some great friends from the USA - Tom and Betty, and their friend Gordon, all from beautiful Bend in Oregon. With everyone leaving lovely Kona over the next few days it was cocktail time at sunset at The Royal Kona, Sushi at Sushi Shiono and night caps at Huggo's On the Rocks. A great afternoon and evening!

Sorry to say good-bye to Betty and Tom, but we had a great week and we are planning some more fun and adventures for the future!
