Well the results are in. I managed to come in first in our team with 30m 57sec which works out to a pace of about 4.35 min/km or 13.09kmh. My boss trailed me by just under 3 minutes. The winning team was a local group from Siemens who had an average time of about 22min! The winner managed the 6.75 km in 18 min or a speed of 22kmh, yikes! I highly doubt I would be able to maintain that kind of speed for even a couple minutes let alone 18!

Never the less I plan on running more often, after all I sit on my butt a good 12+hrs per day in front of the computer and would like to keep my sportive University weight as I approach the 40 mark and well into my later years.

I just hope my knees agree with regiment...
