Over the past several weeks, there have been plenty of last-minute training events in preparation for Ironman. On September 8, there were three races almost simultaneously that captured the attention of most of the athletes on the island.

The crowd watching the Peaman race. |
First off was the Run for Hope 5k/10k at the Four Seasons Hualalai. This is a gorgeous race through the grounds of Hualalai, but it's not easy between the heat and the hills. Of course at the end, there's always a delicious post-race breakfast that included mimosas and bloody marys this year. And proceeds from this race benefit cancer research here on the Big Island! This year Justin Butler and Nicole Vedelli won the 5k race, while Jason and Sara Bloom won the 10k race. Full results from the races are available at JTL Timing's
website.
About an hour after that race, biathletes gathered at the Kailua Pier for Peaman's Wee and DLT Biathlon, a 3/4 mile swim and 3.9 mile run. Makena Becker was there and took some photos, so we actually have photos in this post! Unfortunately I don't have a link to any results those, since I was never able to locate them on West Hawaii Today's website. (They did appear in the print version on Tuesday, I believe).
Pablo Ureta (below) took first place over Luis De La Torre (the "DLT" honoree of the race), while Jennifer Stabrylla took first place for the ladies.
In the Peawee division, Duke Becker sprinted to a super fast finish to take first place - he's heading into transition in the photo below.
One of our employees, Maggie McCleery (below), represented us well as she teamed up with her super fast swimmer husband Jim for the Split Pea division. If you haven't met Maggie yet, you can generally find her at our Alii Drive store on Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons (and likely a bit more over the coming weeks as Ironman approaches)!
As usual, Peaman was there, showing his excitement about the start of football season again, and cruised to the finish line with Helgi Olafson.
More photos from the Peaman race are available
here.
Finally that morning was the Big Island Road Runners' Hilo Bay 5k/10k on the Hilo side of the island. In the 5k, Patrick Baker and Ada Brown took first place, while Chris Gregory and Angie Miyashiro won the 10k. Full results are posted below:
