Aloha and Good Luck to everyone on Sunday. It is an amazing achievement to just get on the starting line.
Please share updates here.
My prediction for the men.
I am torn between Danny and Kai, especially with the smaller conditions.
I like both for different reasons.
Danny has a win under belt and is super fit.
Kai is a machine and competitor and once he starts marching and getting in the zone in the channel-watch out.

Can't someone just ride along in an escort boat and post updates all day?

By my calculations on Hawaii time the race has just started. Hopefully we will get someone texting updates.

Mahalo. I have a feeling the last hour of this race is going to be epic. I hope everyone takes a lot of pictures and video.

"1:15 min in. 18 mi to China Wall, Kai has broken North and taken a big lead. Danny on line. Karel, Jimmy are a 100m back, Will and Manny are another 100m. "
