3 Mile Fail(3rd October PRMC)

[fro83]

Yes im a c**nt i know that

Well things didnt go to plan i failed the run, well i got round but didnt finish with the main group. A fial is a fail and i was really p!issed of with myself, got told I could redo it in 6 months time. I just wasnt fit enough With solid training in the next 6months i believe I can do it, its just its a long wait.

Fair play mate, at least you gave it a go, and next time you will be even better prepared. Just stay motivated and don't do anything stupid in the meantime!

Pity you couldn't stay there a bit longer, it would have given you more of a feel of what it is like down at Lympstone whilst training.

Don't go applying for the RAF just yet though.

Better luck next time mate.

Did you not get the option to stay on for the rest of the course ?

[Brian-]

Just think how fit you could get in 6 months.

[fro83]

Better luck next time mate.

Did you not get the option to stay on for the rest of the course ?

Yes I could have stayed but i just wasnt fit enough i felt like a tit after failing the running. Looking back i could and mabye should have stayed but i have £££ bills to pay/work-no excuse though. There were a about 6/7 of us that failed the 3miler so i didnt come last, im very dissapointed with myself, it got me thinking have i really got what it takes im not sure anymore I liked it when i was down there though good but young set of lads there was me and a couple more 22 year olds but decent blokes. There was a guy down there though who was the biggest nobber I ever met in my life, glad he wasnt in my room!
Rifleman and jonno from this board also went down im sure they will write up a good account of what it was like for anyone interested.

Well you know it was coming and here goes....

Do you know what sort of time the run was done in?

Cheers

i dont know what time it was in a few of the lads said it was faster than 22:30 but its at a good pace, if your fit you will pass this no problem. Also there is a good warm up before hand.

mate i was down there too, RGJ tried introducing us but we were rushing sumwhere so it was lost in the comotion!!!

[SYKES]

Fro83. I know EXACTLY how you feel as i F**ked my 3 miler also last month. Exactly the same situation as you. I also have to wait 6 months. Im devestated. But after a week or so the initial shock of the failure fades and I wish you th every best of luck getting back on training mode if this is the career you still wish to pursue.
I started training for re sit prmc march 07 now and maybe we'll be on the same course!?

Kind regards
Sykes.
