  • Army PT Test at Grandmas House

    As a late notice fill in to Q, I went with something I know well, the old Army Physical Fitness Test.

    Warmup
    Max Pushups in 2 Minutes
    Max Big Boy Situps in 2 Minutes
    2 Mile Run

    180 is the minimum score for the Arm. 300 is max. Here’s how our group did:

    Russo: PU: 82 Points, SU: 86 Points, Run: 65 Points – 233 Points total
    Cowbell: PU: 100 Points, SU: 96 Points, Run: 90 Points – 286 Points total
    Pelican: PU: 100 Points, SU: 88 Points, Run: 75 Points – 263 Points total

    Here’s a link to the scoring chart if you want to test yourself

    We will try it again in a few months.

  • Shark Week at the Scramble

    A quick warm up of arm circles and LBCs before starting the usual 5k run and a surprise at the end of the pier, an actual Shark from the Lake! Children beware.

    Run was completed in 32:00 by the official time

    Back at the playground we tried two exercises from the new Army Combat Fitness Test

    2 Min of Leg Lifts

    2 Mins of Hand Release Mirkins

    Count-off, Name-o-rama (Cudos to Spocket for the new recruit), COT

     

  • An Easy First Q

    It was a little lonely for my first Q but Steve and I made the best of it.

    We started with an awkward and small COT and then hit the road.

    10k completed in just under an hour, 9’36” pace.  I learned Steve could be considered a Yankee and and Left Coaster during our random conversation, but I still think he’s a good dude.

    Great weather and great workout!
