Helped out with a Mock PRT.

Ran 1.5 miles in 12:40 to help with pacing.

About 30 minutes later, decided it would be fun (why, oh why?!) to try the 12-minute stationary bike version of the PRT. I went at about 80% (at least I was able to show SOME restraint!) and barely managed the equivalent of a Good Medium...why anyone would CHOOSE to do the bike is beyond me. It's friggin' hard!

Mark my words...before I leave NCTAMS, I'm going to get an Outstanding score on the bike...just to prove to myself that it can actually be done. :-)

PRT - 9Nov (am)

Ran the Navy PRT this morning.

-Max "Curl ups" (Navy's weak version of a sit up) in 2 min
- Rest 2 min
- Max Pushups in 2 min
- Rest 10 min
- Run 1.5 miles

Results:
- 101 Curl ups (Max required)
- 85 Pushups (Max required - finished in 1:02)
- 8:51

I'm pretty happy with these results. I could've easily banged out 120 curlups and 100+ pushups, but since I maxed out my scores, there's no point in doing more...it just takes away from the run (which I needed to finish faster than 8:55). As for the run, it was only about 7 seconds slower than the last PRT 6 months ago when ALL I did was run. Considering the leaps and bounds that I've improved at EVERYTHING else, I'm very very happy with the time.
