First workout on the Cayman track

Today we finally managed to get on the Cayman track at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex and do some running. It has been a long time in coming.

The Islands' first track which was laid in 1995 and was open to the public up until a few years ago. It was closed for re-surfacing due to weather damage and poor quality of the running surface. Last year it was opened again, albeit with limited access.

Majken helps out at the track with the kids training, so it was through her I arranged to meet track and field technical director (Coach) Kenrick Williams. Williams has kindly let us use the track Thursday mornings. So far, Scott, Russell and I have access, but others should also be able to join our sessions.

Today we did the following workout:

• 4 laps - 1600m
  
• 3 laps - 1200m
  
• 2 laps - 800m
  
• 1 lap - 400m
  
• with very slow lap jog between each lap.

13 laps in total which us just over 5km. We did a staggered start of each rep which meant I was rabbit. All but the final 400 did Scott and Russ manage to catch and pass me. I feel slow.
