Day 197 --> M3 Day 11: PAST passed...again.

Heys Shredders

Yesterday was a rest day to prepare for the past, so i didnt post yet.
We drove down to rammstein again today, where i retook the PAST a final time before basic training.
Ill just fill you in on my times and reps.

Underwater swim 20 metres x 2(3 minute breaks between underwaters):
Passed

10 minute break

500 meter swim:
Required time: 14 minutes
First PAST testing: 10:50
Second PAST testing: 10:13
Improvement: 37 seconds

30 minute break

1.5 mile run:
Required time: 10.45 minutes
First PAST testing: 10.45 minutes
Second PAST testing: 10:19 minutes
Improvement: 26 seconds

10 minute break

i was asked to just do a bit better than the last time i did the calistenics, so:
6 pull ups -> 7 pull ups
45 sit ups -> 50 sit ups
45 push ups -> 50 push ups
48 flutter kicks -> 50 flutter kicks

PAST: PASSED!.... again.

The test is designed to wear you out, no matter how fit you are. You still will feel miserably beaten up, even if you have world record times on this test, lol.And it really beat me up.
My run was heavily affected by previously wearing myself out in the pool. Believe me, i felt it, lol.
but hey, thats whay its Stamina test after all =P

4 hour drive there and 4 hour drive back, just so i could take the same test i took once again, lol.I gotta thank my dad for driving me all these times. Its really a pain, to make these long trips down to rammstein and back.


Well thats all for today
Ill resume taking pictures tomorrow and wont miss any more till i leave for basic training.

Shred on everyone
