The K Financial Running club took advantage of client closures for President’s Day and some fresh snow to hold our first beer mile event, which was a roaring success. After setting up the course and staging our beverages, the beer mile started promptly at 4:04 PM, which is universally regarded in the auditor community as “SOX O’Clock”.
Fortunately, the snowy conditions limited the amount of traffic on our course. There was one elderly cross country skier out on the course who was entirely perplexed by the event and the uncontrollable burping that was produced by the participants as we passed him. The winning time was 8 minutes flat, which was considered pretty darn fast, given the snowy conditions. Everyone agreed that we learned a lot over the course of the mile and should be able to put some new techniques into action next time.
