Athlete of the week
Tony Keely
Teeming with energy, Tony Keely is perhapsone of the best long distance runners on Grand Cayman.
However, Keely did not come by success naturally.He works hard at it. His training schedule has him running Cayman'sroad four or five times a week before sunrise and sunset eachday, covering about 70 miles a week.
"I love to watch the sun rising andsetting; it is what gets me out," he says.
A native of Ireland, Keely competed in schooluntil he was 17 years old and then put it aside until he cameto Cayman 10 years later. Now at age 34, Keely runs to stay inshape and trains for tri-athlete events locally and overseas.
Given his employment with Design & Development,a company that builds pools, one might have thought that waterwould be his first love but, without question it is running thathas Keely hooked.
He is currently training for a spring marathonand several tri-athlete competitions.
