If he's just turned 16 he'll be going in junior entry maybe that's why he doesn't have to do the PRAC course

Well done too by the way buddy

Try not let nerves get the best of you . I added 30secs to my time due to been too aprehensive .
i came 10th overall with 9:32 . First lads came in with 8:44 i think .
Hes adult para though .
After i came in for my run i was sick in the tunnel ( where you finish )
the PTI's told me they was very impressed that i pushed myself that much .
Make sure you Give it all you have on everything in the 2 days .
About 10 lads failed due to been rubbish on the Team Tasks . Just makesure you shout and get herd. Even if its wrong . its the input that counts .
Good luck anyway mate .
