It's a BIG DAY on the island, especially for the 1,900 women & men who were participating in the Iron Man Triathlon. I can barely get myself to finish a half marathon, so a 2.4 swim, a 112 bike ride & a 26.2 mile run is astonishing!
Highway K, the main road on the west side of the Big Isle, was blocked off to most traffic throughout most of the day. While being "trapped" in our resort area is typically a good thing, it wasn't really ideal for us. Relaxation is great, but we like to get out, explore and do sightseeing.
I did the gym thing, we spent a little bit of time at the pool, had lunch and walked through the mall.
We even drove out to the main road to check out the athletes, which by the way was really fun cheering them on and getting a "hang loose" back when I'd throw one out to them.
Then we were left with not a lot to do.
Little did we know, there was a way out and alternative roads to take throughout the island. Kind of a waste of a day, but whatever- any day spent in Hawai'i can't really be a waste. Towards the end of the day, we escaped the resort life and went to Hapuna State Beach and stayed until sunset. It was another beautiful one.
