No subject pronoun?

Quiz Question: 

Nous avons couru aussi vite que avons pu ! (We ran as fast as we could!) 

Why is there no "nous" subject pronoun following que?

Hi Drew, 

Which quiz are you referring to ?

Hi, Cécile. It appears in the B1 level quizzes. 

It looks odd that we've the construction of "que avons." 

Wondering why we don't say, "Nous avons couru aussi vite que nous avons pu."
