One of the favorite races, outside of the Cayman Islands Marathon, is the “Cross Island relay”. \u00a0I ran this race a few years ago in a team with Julie. \u00a0Had not been in it since … until this year.<\/p>\n

This time around I ran with a bunch of guys from the office.<\/p>\n

Of course we all have to be a bit nuts to get up and run on a Sunday morning where it would be much easier to simply stay in bed.<\/p>\n

The concept of the race … wait for it … is to run across the island \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0Thus, we are 6 runners per team and we each run 4 miles (a bit over 6km). \u00a0The race starts in the East End at 6am and finished at Smith Cove in South Sound.<\/p>\n

Here I am passing the\u00a0baton\u00a0<\/em> to my teammate. \u00a0I ran leg 4 of 6.<\/p>\n

The finish line at Smith Cove. \u00a0 This year there were a lot of teams. \u00a0Sure is a popular event now. \u00a0There were 95 teams entered into the race this year. \u00a0We came in at a very respectable 11th place overall and 4th corporate team.<\/p>\n

The prizes for the winners! \u00a0Note the dark cloud on the back. \u00a0Just before the end of the awards ceremony, it started to pour down. I am very glad it did not rain during the run.\u00a0Running in wet running shoes is no fun at all.<\/p>\n

The teammates – well 2 of them anyway. We took this picture in quite a haste, seconds before the massive rain started falling. \u00a0One South African, one Aussie and a Canadian. \u00a0This is definitely the Cayman Islands – a big mix of nationalities which is awesome.<\/p>\n
