5 Miles Running plus a Swim in the Sea at St. Kitts

This morning I got up early and did 25 laps on deck 10 – that’s the equivalent of 5 miles. I would have done more, but the ship was pulling into port and we had to get to breakfast before we went ashore. This time I brought my goggles with me and swam parallel to the shore for a total of 25 minutes. It was the best swimming workout I have ever had. It sure beats laps in a pool. I can see why so many people prefer an open swim for Tri competitions – if only the water were as nice as the aqua Caribbean!
