Views From The Top…

Kaloko called and I said, “YES”. Today was my HILL day. It was supposed to be Hawi, but I do that every week, so when Kaloko came up there is no way on EARTH this momma could say no. It’s like biking in a rain forrest, it’s like doing squats under canopy’s of beautiful

Beachless…

I’m learning that life isn’t always a beach. Kainoa was banned from the beach, salt water, sunshine, all that fun stuff for a couple days while his face has a chance to recover from his wipe out. By the way, thank you to everyone for his “get well soons”. Most the weekend was spent on…

91 Miles Later, Stitches For Kainoa…

This is was my post long brick surprise. Kainoa and his daddy had a surf accident in the big summer swell (the waves are HUGE right now). It broke this mommy’s heart and made me nearly barf looking into his little mouth through his little chin…

The Little Mermaid…

Oh! That’s what I’m talking about! Waking up in my own bed, eating breakfast with Kainoa, and being able to walk to my swim workout-THAT’S what I am talking about! Before bed I smothered coconut all over in my hair, I slept like a baby turtle, and woke up to that sweet smell, it just…

She’s Baaaaaaaaaaack!

There is something about landing at KOA and hearing the flight attendant say, “ALOHA and welcome to Kona”… it just sounds sooooooooooo perfect, like music to my ears! I jumped down the stairs like a kid at Christmas and took a DEEP breath of the salty air-I AM HOME! The heat was so intense and…

Just A Little More…

Today was “Suffer Saturday” according to Coach Lance and we did suffer! Part of the pain was that it came after a solid week of training and Sunday race, part of it was because the company (you know, people like Simon Whitfield joined us), the other part was because just when you think you did…

Yesterday was a ride of “down hill repeats” with Downhill Dan. Of course…
