Miss USA

MISS USA

I rarely watch Miss USA but this year I decided to tune in and maybe catch some great moments like when Hawaii's own Brooke Lee won the title and later went on to win Miss Universe.

Unfortunately, the contest is more evaluated on looks than on brain power as I spent most of the time laughing at the contestants. Really! It should be a comedy show...

The biggest laughter of the night came when Miss California during the interview section.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Though there should be a clause that an opinion must be in a complete sentence and that the sentence make sense.

Black & White

BLACK & WHITE

I really liked these photos but now with a change of color or lack there of, it really brings new life to photos.

And to think, this was all done on my iPhone.

Practice Triathlon

PRACTICE TRIATHLON

This past Sunday we had our practice triathlon. Yes, we come in all ages, shapes and sizes. If we can do it... Seriously, you can to!

Ever wonder what goes into a practice triathlon?









1) SETUP - BRIEFING
Setup is important. You have to arrange your things for a quick transition from one event to another. There is also a quick briefing about the conditions and the route.




2. SWIM
The first event of the triathlon is swim. Normally we start on land and run into the water, this time around we decided to start in the water. Our swim route was to the windsock and back. About 500m swim.



3. BIKE
After swimming, you run to your transition area, put on your socks, shoes, helmet, sunglasses, grab your bike and go! This time out, we rode from Kaimana Beach park, over Diamond head through Kalaha and to the Aloha gas station, and back (TWICE!)


4. RUN
The last event of the triathlon. Normally a quick 3 mile run in itself, but after swimming and going over Diamond Head 4 times sometimes your legs and calves don't like to work as they normally do. Just breathe and push hard until you feel your kick come on!



5. AFTER PARTY
Yes! Its time to celebrate! High 5's, hugs, and food are in order! This is Team Jet Hawaii training group and yes, I wouldn't have it any other way!

Go Team!
You're all rockstars!

MS Walk

MS WALK

This past Saturday was the MS at Ala Moana Beach Park. It was great to be out there walking to support those with Multiple Sclerosis.

It was a great turnout this year. The walk though short was great in spirit. At least 500 people were there to show their support and to fundraise to help cure MS.

Bad Day

BAD DAY

Have you ever had a bad day that just wouldn't end, but you have mini breaks in-between so you're not completely insane and suicidal? You know the kind where you forgot your wallet and you're at the Enterprise rental car returning the car and fortunately they have your credit card information already. Then you realize you're going to pick up your car from the Saturn dealership, and you have no idea how you're going to pay... then fortunately they take personal checks... then you think if they can take it without an ID, then you realize they took it down the 1st time you dropped off your car... then you pick up your car and you think all is well and the air condition system isn't working (they forgot to plug in the AC receiver). Of course you did this after work and they close at 1800 so you have to do it the next day... so you have to drive down all the way to Nimitz again from Hawaii Kai, but then you might as well go to Pacific Air Cargo to ship your book, because you called Hawaiian Air and they charge 100 US DOLLARS to check in a bike (completely unassembled - in a box) and this is the weekend where your friends invite you go to to Kauai because the fares are $28 each way, but you have your Dr. Appt at 0800 then Saturn, then Pacific Air Cargo. You realize you're just destined to go. Not to mention you're sick from training on Thursday... swim and run at Ala Moana and work is the busiest ever because someone took a day off so you can't go home.

Hopefully all bad karma was expelled yesterday.

Here's to a beautiful day.

ALOHA.
