This is one of the biggest events in Cayman. Some 800+ people swim from the Ritz to the Royal Palms which is about a mile. There are prizes for breaking records; $5000 to break the course record or $10 000 to break the world record for a mile. There are also a ton of random prizes. The website claims you have a 1 in 5 chance of winning however none of the people I know won anything. Random prizes include airline tickets, restaurant gift certificates, gym memberships etc.
I did not have any training since the idea to enter was a last minute one. Also my feet intermittently cramped throughout the entire race. But it was an awesome experience and makes me want to participate in more of these kinds of events. I
placed 473rd and did it in 41:38. Next year I will train!

Where is Waldo now??
Not too shabby... I wish I took off that damn cap though.
