Jogging along the orange cones around Lanikai loop and being passed by much faster runners with smeared black marker numbers on their arms, hearing the cheers from the triathlon race attendants at different checkpoints, wow! It was extremely encouraging!
The bikes lined up on special racks were filled with amazing high performance racing bikes.
Athletes were sprinting over, dripping wet to get back on their bikes. It felt like an Ironman competition.
I could see the swimmers in the water after completing their run. From the top of the hill, it looked like a mile long swim to the set up buoy.
I wasn't actually racing, and it was almost over as my newly appointed fitness coach and fellow paddler jogged through the race course along with other fitness enthusiasts like us. It was still very exciting and I am really inspired to want to actually participate in one of these events.
I have a lot more work to do to achieve my personal fitness goals, but if you ever need a big boost of inspiration, run through a designated race course, if possible. Even though I know the race attendants weren't cheering for us exactly, it felt special :)
Tomorrow is my first day of my all veggie detox. I'm planning on making a green smoothie or assorted veggie salad. I truly hope to have great recipes to share while I do this.
Wishing you a healthy fun week!
Love and Aloha,
Maile

I'm going to sleep good tonight!
I had a great bike ride this morning. Practiced hula for cardio and just to practice. Totally freaked out all day, about how hard my first day of paddling was going to be, and completely surprised at how kind our coaches were on the first day.
Seriously, I was in a bit of a panic with thoughts of running up and down the beach.
I don't think they wanted to scare us off, and I couldn't be more grateful.
Signing up for a physical sport, like paddling, I'm certain it will get harder, and I hope to be ready physically to run and swim the distance.
Tonight, I'm just wishing we could have practiced longer, or I could get back out on the water tomorrow. Until next time...
Wishing you a wonderful Easter weekend!
Love and Aloha,
Maile
