I took a spin class, ran on the treadmill, and hit the stat bike. I didn't run around the deck, as it looked pretty treacherous around the bow area...and I didn't want to fall if the ship moved or something.<BR/><BR/>The hardest part was the diet...too much good-looking food...and I wanted to maintain my weight. They have lots of choices...if you want to eat healthy. I ended up losing 2lbs!<BR/><BR/>The race was fine, I felt prepared, and won my age group.<BR/><BR/>I say have a good time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34688991.post-1164803347449368862006-11-29T06:29:00.000-06:002006-11-29T06:29:00.000-06:00Stu,The cruise ship thing is a cinch!

Early in the morning before the rest of the ship gets up get out and run, nothing beats it. The treadmills at least are usually placed over the bridge area so you get a good view !!! I can speak from experience as I worked on ships for 2 years and on every size of ship (sometimes 14 circuits was a mile, on others it was 3!!). If you get an early run in you will be ready to enjoy breakfast and a family day! BTW thanks for putting in the picture of my TNT event<BR/>TNT VictoriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
