Picked up our press passes today.  The old King Kamehameha Hotel is quasi-open due to the massive amount of construction, but still it is once again Ironman headquarters even with all the inconveniences.  For those staying there, the pool, patios, bar and restaurant are closed.

Didn’t get in our way to the media room however – where we picked up our press credentials – a nice t-shirt, wrist band and lanyard ID tag.   The tag and t-shirt are just for looks.  The wrist band is what gets us ‘full’ access.  We’re officially official.
