Valentines Day Biathlon Race Review 2007
By Louis Tomsic The Valentines Day Biathlon was February 4, 2007. The weather was a perfect blue sky day. The race starts at the Diamond Head side of Ala Moana Park, the same course as the Magic Island Biathlon. The runner does a course that is 2.5 miles around the outside of Ala Moana Park including a loop around Magic Island haning off to thier swimmer near the lifegaurd stand on the Diamond Head side of the park. The swimmer wears the timing chip and runs across the mat recording the runners time and when the swimmer is done, runs across another mat reording the swimming time. Glass cups or bowls are ussually given out as rewards for finishing top 3 in the age divisions. There is a wonderful volunteer from the Waikiki Swim Club that bakes the best chocolate chip cookies on the island of Oahu. You owe it to yourself to do this race next year just to try her cookies. They are fabulous!! The race has the best long sleeve t-shirts on Oahu!! It is the only race that I know of where the handoff is a kiss from your relay partner. The Valentines Day Biathlon is a relay race that is so much fun. I have a big place in my heart for this race. Last Updated: February 4, 2007 |
