Kailua Dash and Splash Biathlon 2007 By Louis Tomsic The Kailua Dash and Splash Biathlon was held on Sunday April 22, 2007. The race course starts with a 2.8 mile loop around Lanikai CCW and finishes with a 800 meter swim point to point from the Kailua Pier to the other enterance to Kailua Beach Park. The race can be done by individuals as well as teams. I enjoy doing the team event where I run and my wife swims.The run around Lanakai is nice rolling hills for the first mile, a nice flat mile stretch and then the last part of the course is an uphill with a 400 meter downhill finish to the handoff point to enter the water at the beach. This years swim at the beach was slightly choppy and my wife said she swallowed some seawater as she fished her fastest time of the year. Rounding the last boey, there is a 50 meter sprint left up the beach to the finsh line. The race refreshments include oranges, bananas and jamba juice. Coupons to Kailua's Mama's Pizza were handed out at the race. I used mine and enjoyed some fine pizza after the race. Nice medals were given to age division winners and several prizes were given away for answering local triva questions correctly asked by the race director. Last Updated: April 22, 2007 |
