Uh, talk me through what that experience was like actually being in the hub of Kona, uh, the last few things in terms of pro race briefing and that, uh, and you finally probably got to experience really what is the, the heartbeat of the race the few days before.
So we, we're down in Keauhou, like in another sort of comp- Just 'cause there's six of us and, uh, it was just easier to be a bit further down the coast.
But we're at the opposite end of the r- We're at the far end of Ali'i Drive to the run course pretty much, so still cool, easier to get into town and just, um, you know.
Obviously, when you're out in Waikoloa and every time you come back, it just feels busier every time, and you feel like that momentum sort of building, and it was cool.
We did-- I think we were in Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, um, yeah, just for various reasons.
Um, it was fun to start sort of soaking up and go to the pro briefing, albeit it was very hot in the tent out there, um, for an hour.
I personally don't have many media commitments, but there did end up being some busier days than maybe I would've expected.
Um, but it was pretty stress-free sort of leading into the race in that sense, and had a good opportunity come Friday to put my feet up proper before having to go and do battles on Saturday morning.
Now, we've talked about the fact that Roth has, uh, one of, if not the greatest expo, uh, in the world.
And, uh, not so much it's the expo component of what it means, but given the pros that are there, it seems to be the place to shake hands and kiss babies and try to build relationships.
'Cause there are a number of pros on the island who weren't even racing, who are hoping to, you know, create some brand, uh, partnerships and get some sponsorships on board.
