KONA!!

This is the time when the World Championship Goes down. The Best of the Best race it out to see who is going to be the Champion of the World.

I got my Bets on Chrissie Wellington and Craig Alexander. Maybe its their accents that get me, but one this is for sure, I think they are BOTH phenominal athletes.

I looked at my guy yesterday and said. I idolize Chrissie. She is so warm hearted and friendly and for petes sake she is a 3x Ironman World Champion!! She is going to rock and Ill be sitting there watching her this weekend with Amazement.

Im also excited for someone who is local that might make herself known in Kona. That girl is Kristin White. She is a local Triathlete, going PRO next year! Yeah I met her. I can honestly say I know a Pro. If you don't know Kristin Came in 3rd OA...3RD!! At the Syracuse 70.3 beating out some of the pros!! She also had the fastest bike split on one heck of a course! Im interested in what she will do this weekend. Follow her blog at http://www.trimom.com/. She also has other impressive stats!


Craig Alexander is going to win...I can feel it. I love his nicely shaped legs. I love mens muscular legs...I don't know gotta thing for legs on a man. I know weird. Chris Lieto is pretty hot too so Ill be watching him as well. Hes the fastest Cyclist in the sport you know. And did you also know he was a water polo player and a surfer prior to starting his triathlon journey?? Friends laughed as he said he was going to be like Mark Allen. He took this as a challenge and look at him today!! See anyone can do it!!

In closing, I will be cycling this weekend for Breast Cancer and then plopping myself on the couch with drool coming out watching the Best of the Best at Kona!!

  1. Kristin - Have you read the book 17 Hours To Glory? It has great stories of Kona and how people got there and what they did to overcome obstacles to compete in Kona.

    It is a great read (super fast) and everybody should read it, not just triathletes and Kona wannabes.

    Have a great ride this weekend for a GREAT cause.

    I love following Kona (maybe because I'll never get there...). It's going to be a great race. I'm with you on my pick though... Chrissie and Craig are forces!!!
