Oahu, Hawaii

I had the priviledge to travel to Oahu for the Iolani Invitational with the Curtis X-Country team as an assistant coach. We had a blast. We stayed on the eastern side of the island in a house on Waimanalo Beach. What a fantastic spot!



Our first order of business after securing our rental vans was to go for a run, which ended in a swim in the ocean beind our house. No need for a shower. Especially when the humid climate defeated the purpose.




Despite how tired we were on our first morning, we all were up to see the sunrise. Not standard proceedure for high school, but it was worth the effort. Especially to be in the water before the sun rose and have the water temperature be as balmy as the air temp. What's up with that?



The wind was always blowing, which made sleeping a breeze. It was nice to be able to open the windows and hear the ocean and wind lull me to sleep each night.

All-in-all it was a fun to spend a day enjoying our beachfront location, running a race in a dramatic mountainous location, and an afternoon in Honolulu along Waikiki.
