Hey Jeremy,
That's awesome! Let's totally do this. I'm not the best runner, but I
would have the cube time to make up for it, so we might be very close.
How fast do you think you can run your 400s? I actually am kind of
doubtful you could make up your cubing time against me by running. I
average around 17 to 20 so let's say if I do 20 second solves for the
cube mile, and I run 72 second 400s, the total per lap is 92 seconds.
If you solve the cube in 35 seconds on average, 92 - 35 is 57
seconds... which is pretty quick. What's your mile time?
