March 13-19 Nancy, Christina & I went on vacation to St.John, USVI. While there, in the warmth of the Carribean, I did do some training, though I had no bike. If you have never been there, St.John is HILLY. So, what better than some hill training runs. I did two, one with Christina of about 4 miles, and one on my own of about 6 miles. The 80 degree heat is great to flee to from Winter, but warm for running. Nonetheless, I felt pretty strong, and enjoyed the work that the 6-8 steep hills allowed.
Of course, being an island, St.John also has some of the most beautiful water in the world. Little Maho Bay is not so little, and I was able to do a one-turn (out & back) 1.5 mile swim on 3 different days. I took my wetsuit to keep warm while snorkelling (oh! how beautiful the marine life is), and used it as well for the training swims.
Back to the cold on Thursday night, and weekend bicycling, I hope.
