The Honolulu Marathon was held yesterday (link will probably expire at the end of the day) and 25,000 showed up to run/walk/crawl 26.2 miles. Congratulations to all of the finishers. As a side light, I'm waiting for Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson's yearly account of the race but I assume he's still recovering from his injuries.
Women's volleyball is very popular in OurTown. Especially when the University of Hawai'i Wahine are heading to the U.S. National Collegiate Athletic Association's final four in Dallas, Texas. The Wahine won their regional championship this past weekend by beating a scrappy Georgia Tech team. Just getting to the final four is an achievement but Hawai'i is trying to reach the championship. The four teams playing on Thursday are Southern Cal (33-0), Minnesota (they play volleyball in Minnesota? 26-10), Florida (35-1) and Hawai'i (36-1).
