The Ironman in Hawaii will

The Ironman in Hawaii will Its been a long time since I competed in Kona, but I do not believe the Ironman-Hawaii course has changed all that much. Swimming I am sure, is more or less the same as in the early 80's. His unforgettable. The hot water that can be adapted so they are not needed.
