Going the full distance

Olympic, half iron, marathon, full Ironman. The week around 140.6 is the part nobody puts on the highlight reel.

Race

Honu 70.3: the first time the distance was the point

Jay, Kona, 1.2 miles of ocean, 56 miles of lava, 13.1 in the heat. He had not wanted this race. He finished it.

Hibiscus Half: sit on the easy pace

Michelle ran 2:12. Jay sat on an easy pace for him and pushed her to a PR. A chicken joined at the top of Diamond Head.

Race

Honolulu Triathlon, twice: 2014 and the year we meant it

Same island, same three sports, two completely different athletes. The 2014 version of us was not training. The later version was.

Race

The marathon Jay never wanted, for a 50th he did

Michelle watched the 2021 Honolulu Marathon and said they should go do it for his birthday. He had never liked running. They trained anyway.
