Hawaii training: Excitement, and some guilt

Next week, the CNN Fit Nation Triathlon team heads to Kona, Hawaii, for a week of intense training? Follow along on The Chart and on Twitter, @CNNFitNation

Only a few more days until the CNN Fit Nation 6-pack gets together for the mid-way trip. It will be great to see everyone and discuss successes and struggles. Of course, it helps that we will be doing this in Hawaii! I have seen the schedule and we will not be spending a lot of time sitting by the pool and sipping mai tais. We will be working out a lot – swimming in the ocean, running on the island and some bigger bike rides. We have all been working out a lot at home and it will be great to do it in Hawaii. I think it will be a way to recharge our energy and motivation us for the final push to our goal.

I started to research Kona and discovered that many of the greatest professionals in the sport have trained and competed there. Now, I can hardly wait to get on the plane.
