Thanks everyone!
No Ironman Hawaii this year. You have to qualify for the "big one" (Kona is the Ironman World Championships). I have done 9 Ironmans attempting to qualify but it is tough. Over 50,000 people attempt to get only 1500 slots that are available every year. Qualifying races offer between 30 and 100 slots each but there are 1800-2000 people from around the world that show up at these races to try for those slots. Some day!
I try and qualify again in April at Ironman Arizona!
