Ironman Kona Race Recap

What an amazing, epic, challenging, and rewarding race day!  From race week island vibes to pineapple rompers to the actual race day, we cover it all in this one.  This was Amy's first Kona experience as an athlete racing, and Angela's first Kona as race support, so we have two fun perspectives on the whole week.  This race is everything that they say it is. On paper, the course looks challenging but not daunting.  Yet add in ocean swells and currents, wind and heat on both the bike and run, and being exposed all day to the sun with no shade in sight, well... you get probably the most brutal course on the Ironman circuit. However, 2039 of the 2097 athletes who started the race finished, the highest single day finish rate in all of Ironman World Championship history.  Go women!  We are proud to have witnessed this race in person, so have a listen to our Kona race recap!
