Maybe 20 minutes? Hardly a marathon. I base this on my time of 8 minutes from high school. That was a while ago, so maybe say 10 minutes now for me to do a mile, and then almost half a mile again, so 15 minutes. Then tack on 5 more for crappy conditions. It would be 20 miserable minutes, that's for sure. - I liked everyone's attitude. Cara, Jen and Christie stand out in my mind particularly. Cara was hoping for cat calls; Jen said she looked hot in her underwear and Christie was worried that her father would be embarrassed. Honourable mention to Victor, who had really wanted to go running in his undies. - If I ever go on TAR, I'll remember to buy all new sports bras and functional, yet pretty matching underwear in addition to the new swimsuit I have always thought I would need.
