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.

Nice post. It looks like you kilted it. I'm impressed with your pushups. Nick had better watch out. Maybe we can implement this at tustifiesta. question: you mention the minimum requirements but what is average or standard is for accepted applicants?
I'm not sure. Just briefly checking the forums, they mention scores between 15-20. Someone said that in their class of 40 that did QT, the average was 35, while ten scored a 40.
I agree with Chad---this is a great challenge for Tustiweek. We can even do some timed laps in the pool just to make it more fair.
I agree:
Pushups
Timed lap swim
Soda chugging
I might be able to win one out of three.
i just want you to know I threw up from exhaustion just reading this entry... which means I would probably die if I tried anything like this being so our of shape...
