This was my one and only run on the moving ship. And it was actually my last run of the cruise. I guess I got lazy after this day. My Garmin was useless while the ship was moving. I wore it so that I could use it to count laps, but that's about all it was good for. The wind was fierce. One direction I was going straight into the wind, the other direction it was at my back, but was blowing my hair out of my pony tail and into my face. I had put on sunscreen, but I was sweating like crazy and the sunscreen and sweat were running into my eyes. At one point, I stopped and went in to get a towel to wipe my eyes. Just for kicks, here are the map and the pace chart for this run. The map really shows what the ship did, not what I did. The pace chart is kind of funny because it shows where I'm going with the ship and where I'm going against the direction of the ship. I was going into the wind when I was going with the ship and had the wind behind me when going against the ship, but the direction of the ship had a bigger effect on my pace from the view point of the Garmin, than the wind did. Though my true pace was more effected by the wind. That low point after the 6th peak is where I went inside to get a towel. We spent this day on the beach in Cozumel, Mexico. It was a lot of fun. It was a very nice beach and they had all paddle boats and canoes you could take out on the water. They had a water trampoline, which we didn't try because it was too crowded. But they also had this think called an ice berg, which was big white inflated thing with handles on one side. It was anchored a ways from shore.You could climb up it and then slide down the other side. My boys had a good time with that, but I didn't try it. They had a little swimming pool with fresh water and my daughter spent most of her time there. The kids really enjoyed this excursion. They had never been to a beach before. But despite my best efforts at putting suncreen on everyone, we all got a little sunburned.
