Hey, a few of us have rented a condo in Kona from about Oct. 7th to Oct. 17th. My bedroom has 2 twin beds in it. It is a big place with 3 bedrooms. I am looking into getting a roommate since I am a little tight on cash. The room would be ~$30 a night. There is a kitchenette so you can make most of your own meals as well.
Hopefully there is someone like me who qualified late (IMC) and is now frantically putting some plans together.
A female is OK as long as you are not super hot, my wife will request pictures
I didn’t know that you were married but I guess with the recent law changes in Canada, you and Jason can now officially celebrate your love. I hope you and Jay don’t keep your roommate awake at night.
Coincidentally, Trev is also selling a rear derailler. The link is below. Trev’s ‘wife’ Lappy is modeling the gear.
We were just goofing around. Of course we don’t want to do this at the expense of Trev…
Trev is a great guy, and he is in the middle of completing his PhD at University of Calgary…in Biomedical Sciences, so he might be a nerd but he’s not creepy. Anyone else who knows how much PhD student gets paid will know that his plea for someone helping him to share on costs is certainly legit…
He’s a wealth of knowledge as well, and very inspirational, as he himself has gone from barely cracking 4:35 at the 1/2 Iron Distance 2 years ago, to going 4:05 at Stony Plain 1/2 ironman, and winning the age group race outright at IMC and placing 14th overall (9:12 total time). Fun guy to room up with at any race!
damn, and 4:35 at half iron 2 years ago to 4:05 ??? jeez i can only look forward to what my 1st real season of half IM is going to be like next year. When did trev start racing???
Hey there,
YES, I am definitely interested in this! I’m not competing, but I’d really love to come watch the race. I’m in Arizona now, and I’m tentatively planning to go to Kona from Oct 11 -16, assuming I can still get a cheap flight. Unfortunately I’d have to leave on the 16th to be a work meeting on the 17th… so I wouldn’t be there the entire week, would that be ok?
Please email me if this is legit. I’d also be renting a car if anyone would want to share expenses for that?
Full disclosure: I am a 32 year old blonde female.
