Race week is here! I’m so excited to be getting on a plane on Friday for Honolulu. The cold and dreary of winter in the Inland Northwest takes its toll on you and work has been on the crazy side.
Here’s some things to look for this weekend!
Packet Pick Up: At the Hawaii Convention Center
- Friday, April 6 10 AM to 8 PM
- Saturday, April 7 9 AM to 4 PM
Shake Out Run with Team Hawaii and the Elites
This year, Team Hawaii takes on the Chasers (Elite) to see who can win this thing. Saturday, April 7 at 8 AM, meet up with the Chasers and Team Hawaii for a shake out run in Kapioloni Park
What’s the Chase?
The best local runners take on the professionals (Elites). The Locals get a head start while the Chasers try to run them down. Team Hawaii gets a 20 (ish) minute head start before the rest of the field starts at 6 AM! Read up on the Elites and the Hawaiians here!
Things to Do In Honolulu
- Diamond Head: take a hike and enjoy some views!
- Pearl Harbor: A must. I went in 2016 when it happened to be the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor
- Try some Snorkeling, surfing or paddling
- Be crazy like me and do a 2000 meter open water swim (gotta get into Ironman shape some how!)
- Waikiki Beach: if you hit it right, you can get some good sunset pictures!
- Ioloni Palace: who knew Hawaii it’s own monarchy at one point?
