Kona Time

Friday, October 9th, 2009

It’s almost here! We are having a great week in Kona. Once again, my support crew made the trip out to Kona. Yes, I really had to twist their arms!! Forecast for race day calls for 88 degrees, 70 percent humidity and high winds. Its going to be a tough day. But, that is why we call come out here year after year; to battle in fierce elements with the best athletes in the world!

Finally it’s here; the day before the race! Not exactly my favorite day of the week, but I am getting through it ok. The bags are all packed and the bike is ready for drop off. Then its just sit around, eat and wait! I was one of 3 lucky athletes to get my hands on the new Zipp VumaChrono crankset. It is one hell of a crankset; 9 sec over 40K faster than the other aero cranksets out there and lighter too! I can’t wait to test it out on the Queen K.
