Bermuda

Review

• This is held during MLK weekend, so it was beneficial to have that Monday already off of work so I could fly back home

• There aren't many flights to Bermuda, so my only real option was to fly from Newark

  • The only good flight to Newark was from Pittsburgh

• The expo was at the Hamilton Princess Hotel

  • The expo included coffee, tea, water, cake, and rum tastings!

  • The rum tastings were hosted by Goslings Rum

• The first event was the 1 mile run on Friday night

  • We started and ended on front street. This went by fast and it was tons of fun!

  • There was post food and beer

• The second event was the 10K on Saturday morning

  • We started at the National Sports Center. I saw tons of Marathon Maniacs here, so I fet like I was amonst friends!

  • This was extremely hilly! 

  • The afterparty was fun since there were hotdogs, beer, and canned cocktails

  • Additionally, there was a fun group of dancers wearing unique Bermudians outfits!

• The third event was the marathon (or half marathon) on Sunday morning

  • The marathoners used a ferry to get to the Royal Naval Dockyard. The half marathoners started at the Hamilton Princess Hotel

  • This was extremely hilly (over 1200 ft in elevation gain)!

  • Since we were running along the shore for most of the race, the wind kept blowing towards us and made it harder to run!

• The volunteers were 10/10! Volunteers were very helpful and motivational! 

• The afterparty had a lot to offer! 

  • Beer, canned cocktails, ice cream, and hotdogs!

  • There was also an opportunity to have a massage!

• Definitely not a way to BQ/PR because of the heat, hilly, and strong winds! Put this is definitely a good idea as a vacation race
