And yet another day closer to the Ironman World Championships. Today was a very light day of training (only a light swim), family time, and the welcome banquet.
I hit the water at around 0645hrs and did a quick 20min swim. The intent of the swim today was just to stay loose and feel the water. Of course no swim in Kona is complete without hitting up the Coffees of Hawaii for an espresso.

After the swim it was back to the resort to put some breakfast down range and then clean-up and put some final touches on my Stealth Steed the E-118. The folks at Argon 18 had given it a once over yesterday but I wanted to give it a quick wash and one final tune-up. The remainder of the morning I spent with Claudia and the kids. We played some card games and then spent a couple hours shopping down-town. (Well to be correct Claudia and Ruth did most of the shopping and James and Klara slept in the stroller).

This evening I went with Claudia to the Athlete Welcome Banquet. We decided that after last year it wasn't really a family outing so this year my parents looked after the kids. We greatly enjoyed the company of Marc Meunier and Jennifer St. Pierre who will both also be racing on Saturday. The athlete welcome banquet was average. Food was good but the program was way too long.
