ARRIVED IN KONA / GETTING READY TO GO

Aloha!

Well, we arrived in Kona on Sunday and Monday. We are getting organized and prepared for the race which starts on Friday morning. This blog will give daily updates as to the pre-race experiences and nightly updates during the Ultraman World Championship. The first article has hit from Slowtwitch.com. You will find a link to the odds for the race at the bottom of this blog. Unfortunatley, Jonas Colting is not in Kona this year, so the race has already changed before it even started! Also, during the race, I will be updating our progress live through Twitter. My twitter account is: ULTRAMAN21. Please feel free to follow me and you will received updates during day 1, day 2 and day 3 of the race.

As you can see by the picture, Peter's tapering is going GREAT! This picture is translated to "everyone have a great Thanksgiving." This is a term of endearment in Czech. It's the Peter we all know and love!! Ryan and I will start the daily reports tonight. We are glad to be back in Kona and looking forward to a great week and a great race!
