Running an Ultra at Sea aboard a Cruise ship complete
On February 24th, 2012 I was blessed enough to be aboard the Carnival Valor just hours after leaving Aruba I started running an Ultra Marathon at Sea. The winds were 20 MPH, and we were traveling 19 Knots. The waves were the roughest they had been all week. I started at 4:04am and ran 279 laps around the 1/9th of a Mile 197 yard track. It took me 5 hours, 44 Minutes and 35 Seconds to complete the distance.
For accomplishing the Ultra and Winning a cruise ship contest I was awarded a Carnival Valor medal by the Cruise Director Goose.
