Brilliant run in the rainforest backcountry on some old trails that were a bit grown over and rugged, but led to peaks and lookouts. A highlight of the trip no doubt.

Quick 5k after yoga to get the legs turning over for the Cincinnati meet. A mile at 7:20 then a few fast ones.

Another good yoga class at La Concha. This one was an hour instead of 45 for some reason.

Got another chance to battle the sea. Again, it won. fun though!

Great yoga class here at the hotel.

After yoga, ran back to the hotel. It was hot and straight into the wind but I wanted to run fast, under 7:30. Too bad though, average pace was higher despite hammering into the wind. Bummer!

Just destroyed out there in the big surf here in Cantano. Had a great time trying though. Immediately upon my arrival at "the spot" where everyone catches the waves (out past where the small waves break) the local asked me who I was, and when I told them I spoke english and was new they taught me how to catch a wave. It was fun trying, but I got genuinely owned. In the end, I got up on my board about 10 times, and rode it in twice, which I thought was pretty awesome. Wanted to go longer but was starving, and sunbruned, and seasick, and had salt water in what felt like my brain from getting tossed so hard crashing off my board flailing like a kid from Minnesota on a surfboard.

Run on the beach. Hot and steamy in Puerto Rico!

C • Very nice 2

Hit the gym before heading up into the rainforest.

A great hike along what the Puerto Ricans call a river but to me is an endless series of waterfalls. The destination was a brilliant waterfall with a pool in which we swam. Standing beneath it was awesome, very powerful and a bit scary!

Beach run. So hot. Could not find water. Could not go further.
