The week leading up to Ironman Hawaii, Kona
October 11th, 2008 by Conrad Stoltz
The Ironman village had a demo booth where athletes can test run shoes, ride bikes etc. I worked at the Avia booth and was amazed at the size and energy of this whole Kona/Ironman thing. The Avi Lite II seems to be the most poplular for IM racing- its light with plenty of cushioning. I was also surprised at the might of the Triathlon Dollar, despite the world wide economic slump. Just proves again- Triathletes are overachievers, and Ironpeople more than most. Tomorrow is the big day- let the suffering begin!

Signing autographs at the Avia demo booth with triathlon legend Scott Tinley. Or, more like “watching Tinley sign his books.” I have been a Scott Tinley fan since (especially) my beginnings in triathlon in the late 80s, and I was stoked with my autograhped ST books. The one says: “To the Conradenator”

Amber and Jason Schiers from Edge wheels. Amber will ride the 86’s (86mm deep) and if it very windy she’ll ride the 38 in the front.
