Today I participated in the Push Play Corporate Challenge. There were around 15 from Orion who took part in the event. It was an enjoyable time, and I even scored a free T-shirt and some other goodies.
I didn't really prepare much for this, in fact I hardly trained at all. I did a few long runs (around 7-8 km) but I was completing them in 50 mins. Considering that I wanted to complete the run within the 25-30 min zone, it wasn't very comforting.
So I ran, and with the runners all around me this created more energy. By the end of the run I was absolutely shattered. The good news is that I managed a time of 23 mins 21 secs, which is better than I had hoped for. Overall I came third in the company behind the HR Manager and the Legal Counsel, who happen to be sports fanatics.
This race time, I'll use as a personal benchmark so that next time I can run the same distance sub 20! Yeah right........
EDIT: I managed to get a photo of the team in the carpark before we headed to the event. The poser is kneeling down on the left. I have to say the shades are cool but the hairstyle is not! Despite the bad tastes in fashion, courtesy of me and the dude in the John McEnroe jogging outfit, the atheleticism of the entire team was beyond reproach!
