I didn't put this as a race report because it wasn't really a race. They had a clock and numbers, but I don't think they really kept track of anything.

We met in one of the lounges and got off the ship before most of the other passengers. Then we walked about 10 minutes to the starting line. When they said GO I ran around a couple of people and discovered that I no one was ahead of me. I was out in front until two younger guys passed me at about the half-mile mark. I hung a few yards behind them until there was about a mile left. One of the guys had moved out further ahead and the other guy made a wrong turn. I followed him, but then turned around when he did. So I ran beside him for a ways further and then he faded back.

I came in second with one of my better 5k times despite the heat and the fact that I was running in my swim suit. Then I sat on the beach and swam/snorkeled the rest of the day.
