Race Report for Kona 2012 Ironman World Championships

By Bennett Isabella

I will preface this with saying this was the hardest race I have ever done, hands down. But also one of the most fun races I have ever been a part of.

I arrived in Hawaii the Wednesday night before the race and walked around the city, which was buzzing with energy. Super fun just going around. On Thursday morning I went on a swim on the course which was actually tough because I was watching all the fish on the coral and had trouble getting the stupid grin off my face. I did my normal 20/30/20 on Thursday and Friday pre-race. Also downed tons of minerals and water to super hydrate myself which I managed to do successfully as I weighed in race morning I was an extra 3.0 lbs from what I had weighed a couple days before....
