IMWC 2016 - D-3

Apparently Wednesday is Cruise Day in Kona!

Well today was another fantastic day on the beautiful Island of Kona. Today was a light activation day and my expo visit day.

First up this morning was a 40min swim in the Pacific Ocean with a trip to the Coffee catamaran on the return trip to the Pier.

An amazing breakfast at the Fish Hopper compliments of Computrainer.

After the morning swim, Claudia and I attend the Computrainer breakfast at the Fish Hopper. Computrainer provided the athletes with breakfast and many of us were asked to do a short interview on why we use a Computrainer. I am a big fan of the Computrainer as it allows me to train consistently during the cold winter months. We had the privilege of sitting with Karen Smyers and one of her athletes, Becky Paige, for breakfast. Karen is the 1995 Ironman World Champion and was inducted into the Triathlon Hall of Fame in 2009.

Frederick Van Lierde and I at the On Running booth!

Sylvain Laur (Mr. Compressport) and I at the Compressport booth!

Trevor, me, and Heather! Looking forward to seeing the Wurtele's ripping it up on Saturday! We are fortunate to have this amazing couple representing Canada. And yes they will both be rocking the new Cervelo P5X.

Checking out the new Cervel P5X - yes that's the Wurtele's in the back! The engineering department at Cervelo has done their homework on this bike - they have thought of almost everything.

After breakfast we spent the morning at the expo where we of course ran into a lot of really cool people including Trevor and Heather Wurtele, Sylvain Laur (Compressport Founder and CEO), and Frederick Van Lierde.

Argon 18 Booth with Dominique Fortin (Argon 18 Head Mechanic)!

And of course no trip to the expo is complete within a stop at the Argon 18 booth.

Greenwell Farms Store

After our expo outing, Claudia and I returned to the condo for lunch. In the afternoon we went to our favourite coffee plantation, Greenwell Farms. After that it was a quick pitstop at Costco and Target.

I finished up the day with a light 1:15 ride and a 30min run. While out training this afternoon, I saw Heather Jackson, Melissa Haushchildt, and Frederick Van Lierde.
