The old fart will start.
August 16 I have the physical portion of my national ref test.
1) Run 12 minutes continuous and cover at least 4.5 laps.
2) 50 meters under 9.5 seconds
3) 200 meters under 40 seconds
in that order, with no more than 15 minutes between.
When I do my current 2.5 mile runs, the last mile is under 12 so that should be fine. I need to go find a track and a stop watch to check my potential on the other 2. Each of them is about 1 second quicker than when I did the advanced ref test 1.5 years ago.
When I weighed last weekend, I was at 205. Realistically I need to be 185-190 for the joints to let me ref each Saturday.
