Bromeliad hill

 

 

 

 

 

At around 19 miles its the peak in elevation for the course.  Gets better here on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All these dance troops have been dancing for hours!

 

 

 

 

Note 20 is downhill.  Guys yelling, "You can do it!"

 

 

 

 

Truly a tropical paradise, not like concrete jungle that is Honolulu

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More slope in the right direction

Should have watched out for runners!

 

 

 

 

 

Coconut tree grove

 

 

 

 

Oh Happy Days!- just one more mile and it's Mai Tai time!

26 mile mark beckons: back at Poipu Beach

 

 

 

 

 

The best view for me - my wife, Erlinda, and son, Houston, greet me at the Finish Line!
