I have been looking forward to the survival guide! This year will be my first and only time participating at IMWC. 16 Ironman finishes later and I qualified via a the Legacy Program. Thrilled - grateful and proud. We'll be in Kona for two weeks (arriving on the 1st) and then head to Honolulu a week. If you have any tips for Honolulu - I'd appreciate them. Thanks again for the guide!

Welcome to the big dance. It's an experience and a chance that you've earned the hard way. As someone once told me, "It doesn't matter how you get here. What matters is what you do with it when you're here." She also added, "Things will go wrong. How well you do, and perhaps whether or not you finish, depends upon how you react to it. Just keep moving no matter what."

There are actually several 'sections' I left off the guide that I now have to add back in. One dealing with chiropractors and A.R.T. One dealing with 'refueling' stops on the bike and run while training and one on optimal viewing locations for family. I'll have those up a bit later today.

Honolulu? Pearl Harbor -- USS Missouri and Bowfin tours plus the Arizona Memorial. Iolani Palace. Waikii Beach just because. The grand dame of Waikii, The Moana Sheraton. The pink palace, The Royal Hawaiian (It's actually coral not pink.). The north shore and pipeline. The Shrimp truck up on the north shore if you're not a vegetarian. Kua`Aina Burgers on the North Shore in Haleiwa town. Oh and maybe even the Royal Mausoleum. That's where Hawaii's monarchs, princes and princess are buried. Don't forget Diamond Head Road and the lighthouse. That will do for starters. ;)
