Start of Day: 3:50 am - get up, breakkie
4:15 - catch shuttle to Half Marathon Start
5:15 - Reggae Half Marathon
6:15 - sun rise! (I was at Mile 6 or so in the race)
8:00 - the best swim ever, after having completed 13.1 tough miles (OK, maybe only 10 were tough miles, and 3.1 were easy miles)
9:30 - still not tired, so went to yoga until 10:30
10:45 - FAMISHED so had proper breakfast
12:00 - went to beach. Jenn had negotiated a great price for parasailing, so walked back to the Yoga Centre to get more cash
around 12:45 - parasailing with Jenn. Really fun, and an incredible view!!
1:15ish - had brilliant idea that instead of being taken back to where the boat collected us for parasailing, we'd walk back along the beach. We were never going to get that far down the beach any other way (maybe 4 miles??) ...1:20ish - shopping
1:40ish - stopped at first 2-for-1 cocktail bar
[time passed without our notice as we slowly rambled from bar to bar, shop to shop, chatting with all sorts of people.]
As a sign said in one the bars we were at: "Time flies when you're having rum!"
6:00 - sunset
6:15 - hey, we better stop for dinner! (Note: still about a mile from Yoga Centre)
7:00 - sudden remembrance we were supposed to meet DJ for dinner. Oops.
7:30ish - DJ brought us dinner from his farm in the hills (callaloo, roast bread fruit), so had second dinner. I drank a Red Bull and grew promised wings. We all started dancing like lunatics. DJ did "rasta-robics". Much laughter.
8:45 - arrived at post-run reggae celebration show. Headliner band had already finished (likely the earliest show ever in the history of Jamaica, as the headliner usually starts after midnight). Totally lame so went to meet Jenn's friends at Sun Star Hotel.
9:30 probably - arrived at Sun Star. Good party, but missed Jenn's friends by about 20 minutes. Oops. Good live band though, so danced lots more. Were webcast live on: realnegril.com
12:00 maybe? - time to go home
around 12:30 - bed :)
