For at least 9 years (maybe even 10) DMC has been entering a contingency of runners in the annual Bastille Day Race in Chicago's West Loop.
This year we get to crown the newest member of our team as the fastest member of our team.
Jesse Batsche, who joined us in January, unseated Jody Koplo as the
"World's Fastest Engineer who works at DMC"
The race times and per mile pace are as follows:

This showing was a DRAMATIC improvement over the Shamrock Shuffle results from this past March. Perhaps it was the weather, maybe the shorter distance, but probably not the training (at least for some of us).
