Once again, we had the 10-10-10 Halloween race today. \u00a0Last year was the first edition and I enjoyed it very much. \u00a0Running in the east end is not something I do often since I can easily run where we live ; a change of scenery is definitely welcome.<\/p>\n

I am repeating myself from last year, but in a nutshell, the race is a 10km x 3 runners relay race (some do the entire 30km though). It starts at The Reef Resort in the east end and essentially does a loop and back to the resort. \u00a0Its a 6am start (I got up at 4:30am) on a Sunday morning, so anyone who manages to make it out to east end is already a winner in my book!<\/p>\n

So I had the 1st leg of the race. \u00a0Its actually a good bit uphill. \u00a0 The highest point on Grand Cayman, a whopping 79 feet above sea level, is somewhere along the northern side on my leg of the race. \u00a0However, as hills and elevations go, its not a big deal! \u00a0The first leg did have the advantage of starting in the dark (sunrise was 6:25am) so I had very little sun to deal with which obviously makes things easier. \u00a0Later runners did have a nice breeze and somewhat overcast which also helped. \u00a0If anyone cares, I ran my 10k section in 45mins, 25 seconds. \u00a0I am quite pleased. \u00a0Our team finished first of the corporate teams. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Here you can see my leg (starting at the green dot). After that, it keeps going south and then back to the start point along the ocean. \u00a0A very pleasant run.<\/p>\n

Here is my team getting our trophy from a representative of The Reef resort. \u00a0Good job guys ; it was an honor to have you as team mates.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While waiting for the prizes & food … I took some pictures of the beach at the Reef resort. \u00a0Its a really nice place. \u00a0Will probably have to go back and spend a bit more time at one point.<\/p>\n

There is a nice pier, not unlike the one at Rum Point.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From the pier, we saw masses of fish. \u00a0Not sure what they were doing there, but it was a nice sight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is the beach. \u00a0Really nice place. \u00a0 It seems that quite a few people who live on Grand Cayman come here for “Staycation” week-end.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All-in-all, a lovely event! I sure hope they have this each year. Attendance for this second year seemed up from the first year, so seems hopeful.<\/p>\n

Cayman Islands Marathon is +-5-weeks away … ill be running the 1\/2 marathon again and will of course post here. \u00a0For any runners out there, its not too late to sign up. \u00a0Its a fabulous event and definitely justifies a quick (or long) trip to Cayman in early December.<\/p>\n
