Outrunning an Island

It is easy to run out of Paradise Island after about a mile and a half and the only way to extend the run is the steep climb over the Nassau bridge. Once you do, you are well rewarded with the best ocean view this side of the mainland. Still, the only way to get to know the real towns behind any tourist trap is to run into them… Seeing the real fish market, local lunch stalls, the breakers and old forts are well the effort…
The 6am morning calm in the gym totally vanished as more of the 8 Battle of Atlantis basketball teams drifted in. The CrossFit contingent was severely outnumbered and I finally had to surrender my cherished barbell to some motivated benchpresser.
