Level testing at FireHouse. I'm only on level 2 so the test was: 3 minute squat, 0.8 mile run, 15 burpees, 15 pushups and 10 tire lunges on each leg. My only concern was the squat. For some reason, I am unable to sustain a squat for more than a couple of minutes. Got to 2 minutes without much of a problem then was able to gut out the last minute. My legs were shaking uncontrollably but I made it. I set a goal for 4:30 (5:37/mile) for the 0.8 mile run and failed miserably. Hit the halfway point at 2:15 then was unable to embrace the pain and limped in at 4:45 (5:56/mile). I felt fine but was just unable to push through the discomfort. Very disappointed but my mental toughness has always been a weakness. The last month has been a really unhealth month for me which probably contributed to the slow time. I completed the other tests so now it is off to level 3 - whatever that means.
