D-6 CAF Members Have Arrived

Another beautiful sunset to close out another day in Kona!

Headed out for a swim!

Another swim in the books!

So today I started the day off with a beautiful swim at Dig-Me Beach (Kona Pier). It's always a pleasure swimming in the beautiful Pacific Ocean in the tropics. After the early swim it was back to the house for breakfast and then the first trip of the day to the airport.

Alex arriving at the airport.

It was great to see Alex and thankfully all his bags arrived with him. We headed back to the house quickly, got Alex settled, and then Claudia and I headed out to Kona Baptist Church. We've made it a routine to go to Kona Baptist Church when we are in Kona and it's always great seeing familiar faces there.

John and Chantal arriving in Kona.

Once church was over we headed back to the airport to pick up John and Chantal. By the time we got back to the house, Alex had lunch prepared. (We had told him we would do it once we were back, but Alex being the Super Guy and Super Chef he is took it upon himself to make sure it was ready! - Thanks buddy! I think John and Chantal were even more thankful as they were quite hungry.)

Ready to ride!

We gave John a little time to put his bike together after lunch; then we headed out for a bike ride. We started easy along Ali'i drive so I could explain the run course. Then I showed them the start of the bike course. John headed back to the house while Alex and I did a loop of Kuakini Highway and then did an out and back to the airport.

Once we got back to the house, Alex and I headed out for an "easy" 8km transition run using Magic Sands beach as our turn around point.

Enjoying some dinner together!

Tonight's dinner: Pulled pork, baked sweet potato, salad, and for dessert berry crisp!

Another fantastic day in the books and thankful for having my teammates all here in Kona now.

On deck for tomorrow is bike course recon for Alex and John and then a ride out to Hawi.
