So for "fun" yesterday ( Saturday Sept 19 ), the other Black Belt candidates and I ( except Mr White-Horse Strong and Mr Raw ) ran through the fitness test ( minus the 2km run ). We wanted to get a base line of where we are at. Wow, now I get it.
By the time we wrapped things up, my mind was as tired as my body. Over 3 hours of non-stop running, punching, push ups, sit ups, kicking, and encouraging each other on. There was no time to think of ANYTHING else other that what you are doing at that moment. It was fantastic and humbling at the same time. I found my limits, now I need to go past them. With a week to recover and correct until the actual fitness test, I need to pick my "battles" as to which deficiency I want to address the most. I know there is no way I can improve, in the amount of time I have, some of the things I outright sucked at, but the ones I am borderline on, watch out, I'm coming for you mediocrity.
I want to thank my fellow candidates for that awesome sweat fest and for pushing me to go to my "limit", I am now looking at the test in a little bit different way. I only wish we could have done this 6 months ago, giving us all time to correct, but such is life. I have learned some valuable lessons from this, so I will use that new knowledge and move on.
