KONA TRAINING

Two weeks have flown by here in Kona and I couldn't be happier with how my training has been going. It's almost time to start the taper, just a few more key sessions before it's time to rest up for the race.

My mate Joe has been here in Hawaii filming some footage and got some great pix this past week. Even though I have been doing some great training sessions with Terenzo Bozzone, Craig Alexander and Linsey Corbin to name a few these pics capture the solitude of training solo out in the lava fields.
