Subject: RE: Favorite Triathlon 1/2 IRONMAN Venue - 2007I voted for the Honu Half which I beliefe is called Hawaii 70.3 now,,,,, Like all things IM gets ahold of they get rid of the local/historic name and put their "Brand on it". My heart is with the SilvermAn half though, I think the volunteers at Silverman are better, the course at SilvermAn is more challenging and the overall event experience is a lot better with all of the pre and post athlete activities The things that Honu has going for it is the swim venue at Hapuna Beach, it's a lot warmer in Hawaii in June than NV in Nov. getting to ride the toughest part of the Hawaii IM bike course is a plus as well. I look forward to doing them both again!! |
