Here are my final results for the Navy Seals Fitness Challenge:
| 500m swim* | Push-ups | Sit-ups | Pull-ups | 1.5 mile run | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEAL Competitive | 10:00 | 80 | 80 | 11 | 10:00 |
| SEAL Standard | 12:30 | 42 | 50 | 6 | 11:00 |
| ME | 13:36 | 55 | 64 | 7 | 19:36 |
*breast stroke or side-stroke only
Not too shabby since my only preparation was a 250m swim and 500m swim the previous week. My only complaint is that I was stuck in a swim lane with 2 slow swimmers ahead of me. I passed one guy but couldn’t get around the second guy which cost me making the SEAL standard time of 12:30. The running on the other hand, is something I knew I would have problems with. In the end, I was the last competitor on the track, but I didn’t care. I just wanted to complete the course no matter how long it took me. Plus, I have never run a 7min mile in my life - which is about the pace I would have needed to run in order to meet the standard. My running is awkward to begin with. I’m a total “heel-striker”, which according to my Google research, is the most bio-mechanically inefficient way to run. So I really need to work on my running. But overall I had a great time. I’ve caught the competition bug. Next stop, Ironman.
