The Biggest Loser

In addition to the Global Corporate Challenge that I have entered, I have also arrange a "Biggest Loser" competition with 10 blokes at work.

The idea is to see who can lose the greatest body weight (as a percentage of the starting weight) by the end of the GCC, which is in October.

We had our first official weigh in today. Six of us lost some weight (I lost 1.5kg), while another 4 actually gained weight. This made for some interesting conversations and resolutions. George was one of the blokes that gained some weight, even though we have been running together three times a week for the past month.

Needless to say, he was keen to do something about it.

We did our usual run around the Tan, with a little warm up run getting there. To cut a long story short, George ran around in another PB of 17:35. I increased my pace at 500 metres from home and finished with a 17:12 (3:46 pace for last km). We were both pretty happy with our efforts.

George is now focussed on going sub 17 min before the Run to the G.
