    April 15, 2012 was the 2nd annual North Shore marathon. This small race is held up in beautiful…read moreHaleiwa / North Shore area. While I didn't run this race personally, I have many friends who did. It was a fun day to see them finish the race and capture age group awards for a hard effort that paid off. This race runs along the back roads of Haleiwa town, looping twice for the first 2 miles, then a notorious out and back section for a good 10 miles one way before returning to the finish at Kalaka Bay Beach Park. I myself did not want to participate in this one, since the Hawaii heat affects me somehow. It's just weird. It's easier on the mainland when it gets hot. The views of the North Shore are great at the finish. The finisher's medallions are ok. Besides the heat, it was logistically impossible for me to drive from East Oahu to Haleiwa at 2am. While there is a bus that will take you from Waikiki to Haleiwa, it's an extra cost. It's a small intimate race, but without accommodations nearby, it is a major challenge to grow this race in the years to come. I didn't think the out and back portions of the course were scenic at all. Maybe I just live here way too long. They do wait for everyone to finish, which is great. It's a small race, but with alot of heart. This is the only other organized road marathon on Oahu, besides the mega one in Honolulu. While they did not have beer tents and the other lavish post race stuff, the boxed lunch of chili and rice hit the spot for majority of the runners, along with water, juice, and gatorade. It was a hot one this year and maybe next year I will try to do it. For sure. Support local! B

    Yes, you got a t-shirt, hat, and food after the race, but there was nothing given for finishing the…read morerace if you want to call it that. 400 m swim, 12 mi bike, 3.2 mi run. The water temperature was perfect! But the current was wicked! So wicked that swimmers were offered a tow and allowed to finish the race! According to the rules, that's grounds for cheating. If the current was impossible, a decision should have been made to reroute the course or not count the swim towards final completion time. After I finished, I asked a person in charge at the end about getting towed and I was told that if a person looks like they won't place, then they allowed towing! Really??? Also, waiting for the police to clear the road so that you may enter and exit Kamehameha Highway for the bike ride, skews your time. The road was scattered with gravel and broken glass, no one bothered to sweep it before the "race". And the run, although pleasant through the wooded areas, also took you across sand and rocky coral beach. A nice way to end up with a sprained ankle. By the way, the announcer said "its a beginner race" and obviously doesn't take into account how majority of people wouldn't ever attempt a triathlon! If you won't give out a metal for trying, then at least give us some credit! If you want to do a REAL triathlon, don't do the Haleiwa Triathlon! Do the Kaneohe Marine Corps Base Triathlon. Not only do you get a completion metal, you are competing against a lot of hard core military athletes that will put you through the test. And Kaneohe Bay is much calmer than Haleiwa during high surf advisories!

    1.5 mile run on an angled beach in four inch sand. GRUELING!…read more Other than that, this was a quick sprint tri to get ready for the Honolulu Tri in May. 500m swim, 12mi bike, 3mi run. Free shirt, free hat, free sticker, free mini pack, free water bottle. Food after finishing had all sorts of fruits, muffins, and drinks. Also included some good live music, acoustic style. This was my first time doing this one. It was fairly organized, had police blocking off roads, and there were volunteers throughout the course cheering/handing out refreshments. It's definitely a good beginner tri for those starting out.

The WSL is the major governing body of professional surfers from all over the world. They took over the Association of Surfing Professionals in 2015. The competition is a tour of events based on points. It culminates in Hawaii at the Pipeline Masters. This is the final event that determines the World Champion. You can check out the website to get a better understanding how this system works and an evolution of the organizing bodies of professional surfers. The 2017 competition was scheduled for Dec. 7 to Dec. 20. The best surfers in the world come out to compete and it is worth watching. Congrats to local haole boy John John Florence who took the title this year for the 2nd time in a row. The beach is a big expanse of white sand. It is best to get here early to clam your area. If the water is not too rough you can go in for a little swim to cool off. On occasion you can see a turtle. Might even see a whale breach out in the horizon. And, if you stay late enough you will catch a nice sunset. Not all the days have competition. You cannot control mother nature so you end up going on her time schedule. The good thing is there are a few things to do. You can check out the big booth Billabong sets up to get your exclusive Pipeline merchandise. You can also go hiking. And, there are some good eats set up through the residential who have decided to take advantage of the event. You can find crafts, poke bowls, acai bowls, tacos, plate lunch all kinds of things to eat. It's a good thing the event lasts almost 2 weeks. Parking is tough. You will see many cars park along the side. I could not tell what was legit. Reading the signs made it more confusing. What was not confusing was the cop ticketing all the cars parked on the side. We walked a good distance watching and he didn't skip a single car. I guess he was doing the tag 'em now let them sort it out in court thing if they want to fight it. I did not want to go that route. Some of the residence in the area were offering parking on their property for $10. That was the safer bet. Left the car there for many hours and it was all right. Didn't feel worried at all. I wonder how many tickets were given out? Lucky we live Hawaii that we can see this major event still here in the islands. Check it out while you still can.

The sponsors, Recovery e21, did a really awesome job planning, mapping and routing these preparation races. For the Starn O'Toole Marcus & Fisher 25K race, due to another event taking place at one of the sites, the 808 Race Hawaii Readiness team rerouted the course just a week before the race. Awesome last-minute planning!! On the day of the race, things went very well and smoothly and without any complications! Unfortunately for me, I did not register for these races early in advance to take advantage of the package deal, that included all the races at a discounted price. I ended up playing the late registration fees, which added up to quite a bit of money! Next year, I will have to plan better, myself!

(Not obvious on the signup) when my wife asked an 808 staff member about the medals the woman said "sad! You mean to tell me you only run for the medals?" Perhaps, a little more sympathy would have been appreciated. Lesson learned, this is a race to do if you don't care about the bling and want a crappy T-shirt.
