Seeing (C) different in Kona

There's no way to explain what it is like to race Kona in the heat, in pain, with nothing but lava for all but the swim.

The way to pass the time on the swim is to look at the fish below.

The way to pass the time on the bike is to look at the ocean on your left (up to Hawi) and on your right (back into Kona).

The way to pass the time and dull the pain on the run is to watch the smiles of the volunteers as you pass.

Both of these fine men were able to enjoy the scenery. Matt did it with his eyes. Charlie saw it better, though, by absorbing the sounds of every drop of sweat dripping from the athletes he passed, and listening to the waves crash from just feet from Alii to miles on the Queen K.
