This weekend I participated in the Reggae Marathon. No, I did not complete the entire marathon, only 10k or about 6.2 miles. It was a well run event as they fed us a huge pasta dinner the night before, gave us a shirt, bag and other snacks and sweeties. Because it was in hot Negril, the start of the race was at 5:15 a.m. Quite an early start, in fact I finished before sunrise. The start was exciting with Bob Marley's "Jammin'" playing and torches lining the first 20 meters. My time was 57:30 which gave me about a 9:20 mile average. Good enough for middle of the pack. Mrs. Zed as well as a lot of other PCVs volunteered at the stands handing out water and gatorade.
