Just in case the FBI comes a Callin'

With 2014 promising to be a great one for TustiQroo and overshadowing 2013 (sorry Cooper and Summer but the World Cup and Disney World is just so exciting), I decided I had to be involved in the celebration with the only way I know how: blasting my body with intense workouts in the hope of being ready in case the FBI needed me.
So today, after several weeks of training, I decided to do an unofficial FBI physical fitness test at the school with a track.  It’s a test that is point-based with 4+1 events, 10 points possible in each event.  To qualify you need at least 12 points with 1 point in each event.  Though the pull-ups are scored, they do not count for the final qualification.  Summer watched as a witness and timer.  The order of the events along with the results went as such:

Situps in a minute: 59 (10 points)

-5 min rest-

300 meter sprint: 45.12 sec (5 points)

-5 min rest-

Total push-ups (continuous): 69 (9 points)

-5 min rest-

1.5 mile run: 9:43 min (7 points)

-5 min rest-

Total Pull-ups (continuous): 14 (7 points)

Total Points (sans pull-ups): 31


For training, I had been doing the sit-ups without anybody holding my legs, so when it came time to do the actual event, the leverage gave me an extra advantage.  I know the 1.5 mile run seems kind of weak, which I kind of agree.  I was still recovering, I felt, from the 300 meter sprint which made me pretty nauseous.  But overall, I was happy with the results.
