Cruise To Run Day 7: St. Thomas, Golfing the Devil’s Triangle

Devils TriangleAnother day, another island: We started the day with the 2nd annual St. Thomas Prediction Run, a 5K, an out and back road course that included many, many locals among the 200+ entrants. The top 10 runners “closest to the pin” won awards. This group, ranging in age from 21 to 65, were very impressive and were within 1 second to 6 seconds off of their respective predicted times. Post race a bunch of us shared in a much need latte on the water before deciding to find the nearest golf course. Within 30 minutes, we were lovin’ life at Mahogany  Run in Charlotte Amalie, – the most beautiful golf course I’ve experienced – even nicer than Spy Glass and Torrey Pines. Canadian-Brit Martin Parnell and I did 11 holes on this spectacular course. The Devil’s Triangle, three oceanside holes were beyond brutal but we actually golfed pretty well. Already looking forward to Mahogany Run next year and even know the date – January 25th, the second day of the 2010 Cruise To Run.
