Cruise to Run - Days 5 and 6
Friday was our last island stop of the trip, on Barbados. I could see the race start/finish beach as we pulled into harbor. We were bussed from the terminal over to Brandon's Beach for the 5k run and open water swim. It was a hot and windy day, so I wasn't expecting any sort of PR, but I had a run test to get done so I knew I'd be going hard.

Many of the local runners and track teams came out to do the race as well
And we're off!
"This hurts."
Matchy-matchy with Gayle post-race
No PR but 2nd in AG calls for a recovery beer!
By the time awards were announced, I was on to the victory beer - W30-34 podium posing with Sarah
Once all that was done it was time to swim! I'm so glad I was able to swim in open water nearly every day last week. Here's a view back towards the beach from the 1st buoy
I don't know *why* everyone made fun of my swim cap... LOL
Saturday was a day at sea as we cruised back to San Juan before we all headed home. We hid out and avoided the crowds plastered to every chair on deck of the ship and ended the day with one last dinner with Alex and Susan.
Sunday we disembarked and headed home. There were some eventful airline bobbles along the way but it couldn't diminish the glow of such an awesome trip! I can't recommend Cruise to Run enough for anyone who is looking for a warm sunny fun vacation with some active people.
Tomorrow, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Wow, so much fun! I normally hate cruises because they're always designed for inactive people. This looks like a blast... will definitely check it out!
