Idle question

[Imagirl]

Do you think there's a correlation between how many press-ups someone can do and whether they can stay monkey bars*?

Ie - more than a certain number means you probably can? Yes, I'm wondering whether I'm going to get my feet / legs / rest of me wet falling off them this weekend :-s

I can't really see why there should be, they are two completely different types of exercise.

On the plus side for you though, is that it looks like you've got decent weather for it. Monkey bars can be a touch slippy when it's raining!

Best of luck.

Aye aye...

Well, turns out it didn't matter, since the assault / obstacle course wasn't on the programme anyway.

For de record, however, apart from passing the thing (which really isn't hard) I did manage 46 press-ups in 2 mins, and then 60 sit-ups, putting me in the top ten (along with the seven other (male) members of my syndicate ) - like I said, quite hard to fail.

The 1.5 mile run time was embarrassing, but then all we had to do was manage it in under 14 mins (again , can anyone say 'recruitment crisis'?), which I was pretty safe for - but it would be nice to manage a time one day which bears some relation to my 1500m time

By the by, does leopard-crawling through a patch of someone else's vomit at 0540 counts as an April Fool?
