The day after the day before

After remembering the clocks changed here last night, giving us a well needed extra hour we headed off to the athlete breakfast/prize giving at the race hotel. The first time I have been to one of these where it is all outside - they obviously weren't expecting rain!!
There are limited slots available for the Kona World Champs in each age group. Only 2 slots in Pams age group but she was 5th yesterday and if any of the people ahead of her didn't want their places then it rolls down. Alas, unsuprisingly they were taken but she did at least get onto the podium and got a 5th place trophy for her efforts. Genevieve & I went to stand in the shade for 10 minutes and when we returned Pam & Paula had decided to enter next years race and were heading to the sign up queue! They joined at the very end of the line before it closed here and opened online. Good job too as I believe the whole race went live and sold out in 10 minutes. Crazy.

Just having a beer on the balcony then we'll head down to the beach for a swim. Not quite as hot & sunny today (only 27 degrees!) but that is no bad thing as we are all slightly frazzled after yesterday.

Genevieve and I are now contemplating our drive back home tomorrow and how to attack it. Probably drive  about 12 hours tomorrow then stop in a hotel and carry on the next day. Probably better than driving for 24+ hours non stop and we have to make sure we link up with the girls incoming flights into New York.

Meanwhile, as I keep being told here .....HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
