At the beginning three runners were at the start but during the four rounds different people accompanied me who was the only finisher of the full distance in the end. I would not call it a desaster, it was a Sunday, several runners had spent the night out in pubs as Marc reported, others went to church. So the guys did not appear though they had promised to come. I had catched a heavy bronchial infection on the ship during the world cruise (we stopped in St. George just for one day), and it was terrible humid and hot.The marathon course was the same as in Dec. 2015 when Maddog and some members of the CC were there. As I was sick I had to walk most of the distance, so I finished with 6:30 hours, my worst time ever on a mostly flat course. But I like Grenada, especially Grand Anse Beach. We have been there several times with cruise ships for one or 2 days (overnight). Most people are poor in Grenada, Marc and his family and all the foreigners who work in skilled jobs or are engaged in business are privileged. Marc told me that an old Austrian man in his late sixties or early seventies who is married with a woman from Grenada should be living somewhere on the hills in a simple hut. Who knows, escaping from civilization and ending in St. George could be an alternative to modern life style.Anton Reiter, Vienna, Austrianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17641132.post-14872725388005252172016-01-31T08:31:38.121-05:002016-01-31T08:31:38.121-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.niazihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07524418227854523740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17641132.post-82116776988225848962015-12-30T00:42:39.349-05:002015-12-30T00:42:39.349-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01503326754695325051noreply@blogger.com
