Lavaman 2015

The day started out amazing, Patti and I got a reasonable start and headed out to Wiakoloa. Super excited for this race!

My fans!

She is out of the water, great swim 37 minutes!

Headed back in from the bike. I felt pretty good out there. I could have given it a bit more on the way out but my trip back flew.

Fueling up!

Crossing the Lava Fields

I had a tag along for a bit. Patti joined me for a few yards.

Ever since I ran Ironman for Sumerli I always throw the signature heart. I love you Craum!

Pre Race Day

Packet pick up was just me this year. Since Patti was not running and Lisa, Tex and Tristan I spent this year signing up alone. Good thing I don't get nervous anymore.

 

The race is dedicated to Papa P, a long time friend of Patti's who passed the week previously.

Getting ready.

Pre race dinner with friends at Holuakoa.
