Iron Dragon

Well the event went well yesterday. It was kind of chilly to start (46), and we had a pretty good breeze that was blowing straight down the road that the run course was on. The wind was to our backs to start, which can hardly ever be felt. It was a head wind coming back and definitely slowed the run time down a bit. I did 83 push ups, 90 sit ups, 10 pull ups, 25 dips, and ran three miles in 19:34. Got a Certificate of Achievement and a Brigade coin. I did not get my coveted Iron Dragon Trophy, but I will get it when they arrive in the mail. Most importantly I do not have to participate in the mandatory staff PT twice a week and I am back to PT on my own. I am starting a new program on Monday and will also take a record regular APFT (Army Physical Fitness Test) before i go on leave. That will be good for six months, so should not have to take another one until I am settled at the new unit. Regulations prevent a record APFT within the first 90 days of return from a deployment.
