On CES Saturday, there traditionally is a 5 km run where delegates compete with Las Vegas residents. You'd figure that with such a hospitable climate and a collective gambling addiction, no one here would run. Was I proven wrong. Let it be said: Las Vegas runners rock!

After a week of chilling cold, followed yesterday by rain, the turnout at the 8 AM start was no more than a few hundred. The weather gods however had mercy on us athletes and got us perfect running conditions with even a ray of sunshine here and there.

Yes, your Silicon Valley Sleuth did compete, and to everyone's amazement (not the least his own) succeeded in crossing the finish line before the 1 hour cut off time.

Results should be up on the web shortly.

This is the final post to vnunet.com's CES blog – for this year at least. But have no fear. The Silicon Valley Sleuth blog continues. With my boarding pass for the airplane to San Francisco burning in my pocket, I'll be getting ready for more blogging from Mac World in San Francsico next week (Steve Jobs keynote on Tuesday!).

I hope you enjoyed our coverage. Drop us a line if you have any comments.
