Mel, Jill (hidden), Emily, Kelly, Mhairi, Penny, and Alex waiting for the URS crew to head over to the Tan, a 3.9 km track around the Botanical Gardens. Our office signed up 5 teams (around 30 people) to complete the Corporate Cup, a corporate running challenge every fortnight through November.
Mel, Mhairi, Emily, me, and Kelly talk strategy before we set out for our first lap. Awards are based on both speed and improvement, so we figured a slow first time would be a smart way to go.
Here's the official time booth where we signed in and out.
This is the Shrine of Remembrance, one of the landmarks around the Tan.
We're in the homestretch here, not long to go now. There's a massive hill about 1km into the track, but after we conquer that, it's a slight down slope the rest of the way around. We'll have this thing beat in a couple months.
