Event 9: Race for Recovery

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted up our events. We have however 
been very busy doing events so these blogs should come thick and fast as we 
are now up to 14!  
 
Event 9 was essentially an army fitness test, set up for the public to try and 
to raise money for 'help for heroes'.
 
The set up, over at the Duke of York barracks in Chelsea was simple 2 
minutes of press ups, 2 mins of sit ups and a mile and a half run! Army 
qualification figures are 45 press ups, 60 sit ups and 10.30mins on the run!
The event is run by the current military, therefore the judges are of the 
highest nature! Sully and myself both smashed out the required level of 
press up and more, the sit ups were a little harder and we fell short there 
but only just with 54 and 56 respectively! With wobbly legs and arms we 
then started the run! Sully cruised round and came in bang on 10:30 and 
i was a minute behind him!
 
 
This event was a lot harder than it sounds and it gives credit to our boys 
and girls in the forces!
 
Thank you to Anna for coming to watch and support us!
Onto event 10. The london to brighton bike ride. 50 odd miles down to the coast.
