Optimus takes on the Nedbank Challenge

Yesterday the true blue blooded Optimus team members took up the challenge of the Nedbank Challenge held in Emmerentia Johannesburg. I am proud to report back that despite the fact that we went into the race basically unprepared as none of us really trained for the event, we al finished within good time.

John (our own Bruce Fordice) ran the 10km race as if he was warming up, didn’t even build up a sweat as he passed the finish line. He was rewarded with a medal for his effort. Me and Dawie didn’t want to steal John’s thunder and therefore only ran the 5km race and finished in 28min 12 seconds. We were rewarded with empty plastic water bottles.

Seeing that Gerhardus didn’t pitch (some lame excuse about an asthma attack :-) ) he will be rewarded with buying the rest of the team Samoosas and Jelly Tots for the rest of 2007.
