After our long run, we returned to our B&B where our hosts made wonderful homemade omelets full of fresh veggies with a side plate of fresh fruit and cheese. It was VERY TASTY!!
We decided to spend the rest of our day back in CDA. We started with lunch at Beverly's, where we enjoyed a spectacular view and wonderful seafood. I had the "King Salmon" and the hubby had the "Tuna"...both were very fresh and tasty.

After lunch, we met Mike Reilly, the voice of Ironman, in the lobby. He is the announcer at Ironman Wisconsin (and MANY other Ironman events around the world)...the one who called out our names and said, "You are an Ironman" when we crossed the finish line. We had a brief conversation with Mike and got our picture taken with him. He is a great guy with a fun sense of humor ;)
We then went down to the Ironman Village, where we got sucked into the AWESOME atmosphere of Ironman!! We met many athletes, volunteers, spectators and vendors. Since it was a rather warm day, we decided to purchase a "Green Smoothie" made from organic kale, organic blueberries, organic lemon juice and a dollop of local honey. Yes we were intrigued by the wonderful fresh, organic, local fruits and veggies that made up the smoothie, but I was even more intrigued by the mechanism for which they generated energy to the blender...you guessed it...a man pedaling a bicycle!!
After Ironman Village, we stopped off for a beer at Splash, drove the bike course (which makes me even more excited to ride it in the next couple of days) and had dinner with some FABULOUS friends and teammates...Martha and Christine.
We couldn't have asked for a more WONDERFUL day!!
