Okay, I finally have the news......

Yes, it took me a while, but I finally have the news i've been wanting to share! Last week Kenneth was a bit nervous about a fitness test they were going to have. I forgot to ask him tonight, but I believe he said this one was done with gear on. I will ask him and if i'm wrong, i'll fix this. Anyways, here's a play by play of what went on: They started by picking up a rolled hose and running with it 50 yards and back again. They then picked up a ladder and ran with it up a ladder, set it on a roof, walked back and grabbed a charged water hose and pulled that 100 feet. They then ran back down and up the ladder three times, then walked over to a hose sled. They pulled that 50 feet by rope, then walked the 50 feet back to the other side of the hose sled and pulled it back 50 feet. After that they had to walk to the sledge hammer table, hit a tire 2 feet across the table, then went to a dummy (which weighed 145 lbs.), lifted and drug it 50 feet one way and then back. They then walked to the ladders, went back up and down two more times, went back to the ladder that was put on the roof, took it back down the ladder and back to the staging area. They finally went to the jaws of life, picked them up and ran with them 50 feet down and back. Each of the men were timed and it had to be completed with a time limit of 8 minutes. Kenneth had the fastest time of the class at 5:49!!! WAY TO GO!!!!
