I wrote a program in MATLAB, if that does anything for you. Probably not. I'm a nerd.

Or just use google itself. Google has a phenomenal units-aware calculator built in. It practically did my thermodynamics homework for me in college.
Try "(33 minutes + 33.3 seconds) / 10 km to minutes/mile"
If you specify "to ~" it will tell google what units to display it in.
Dealing with time can be a bit tricky - for example the above query will give you "4.76687693 minutes / mile," which probably has you wondering how many seconds .766 minutes is. I usually just copy and paste the number back in, delete the "4," and add "to seconds." Hit return and you get 46.01 seconds, so the pace is 4:46/mile
That probably still sounds pretty involved, but not having to look up conversion factors and such is extremely useful.
Option B- MS Excel. Useful if you want to do a bunch at once, for example calculating your pace from several races, or copying and pasting in the whole results page for your race and calculating everyone's pace...
In cell A1 Type your distance (no units)
In cell B1 Type the time as "H:MM:SS"
In cell C1 Type "=B1/A1"
Now if you want to convert lots of times to their respective pace, fill in columns A and B for each subsequent row, highlight cell C1 and drag the fill handle down to copy the formula and convert them all. I don't usually like the way excel handles time either, but for something simple like this it works well enough.

I like MATLAB too! I'm actually working on my homework with it right now... I'm a math major, what can I say?
Its pretty easy to do the calculations in xcel if that's more your style.
Make one column your split, one column for your distance, and then do a calculation for pace... provided your time is in hours and your distance is in miles, that column should say "=(cell for distance)/(cell for pace)"

I hope you didin't fail chem. A 33:33 10k is actually 5:24 pace...

Heh, that's funny, I changed the time in my 'example' after typing it into google and must have used the old pace result. oops.

I have nightmares about MatLab. Well, I used to. Now they are replaced with tri ones :p

I had my usual recurring nightmare last night: I'm in a race, running, and my legs just don't work. I watch the rest of the racers run normally and I just can't run.
New twist: My high school CC coach was there, yelling at me to run.

I can never run when dreaming. Then I wake up with my legs all tangled up in the sheets.
MATLAB... I had to look that one up. Too good for a real programming language? ;-P

Atleast you're not naked (in the nightmare)
Don't be so easy on yourself 'cause this one might be all that you have left
For my races that didnt break down bike and run pace I was wondering if there is a site (or two) available that will give me the pace if I have my times and distances. Thanks in advance...
