Here we are in Hawaii, just loving it, so beautiful!! This is the island of Oahu, near Waikiki Beach. We also went to The Big Island of Hawaii and visited Kona, where every year they have the best of the best come to compete in Ironman Kona. Above is a picture of me with the first two Ironman ever!! The one on the right came up with the idea with a couple of thier buddies to have this race to see which one was the best!! And one Saturday afternoon they set out to do it!! Pretty cool stuff. That's where Ironman got its start! Above right is a picture of Chrissie Wellington, the winner in the Women's Pro group. She beat the old record by 30 seconds. At any point in the race, she can always be seen with a smile on her face! It was amazing to be there just 6 feet from the finish line. The crowds were going crazy for her!

Wow, I didn't know it was such a relatively new sport/contest.
