Running test!! 200 yards in 54 seconds!!?????
B.PRESGROVE:
Taking the Physical test on Wed. Have to run 600 feet in 60 seconds (or 54 seconds with no doors), and shoot a target at least 4 times. Has anyone done this test before and is it hard. 200 yards in 1 minute? :o I can run but isnt that kinda a good distance in such a short time period?
I also have an interview that same day. Any thoughts on what to expect? I am a former HP trying to get into ops but I guess this will be the first step to get into ops.
Mike_Koehler:
How hard it is depends on what kind of condition you are in......... and how good you can shoot...... World class athletes run 200 meters (218 yards) in right at 20 seconds...... a good high school track athlete does a mile in 4 minutes or 400 yards/minute...... 200 yards/ minute is running but not really flying.......
Good luck
Mike

Yah I guess the condition thing does come into play. I am not in the best of shape anymore (its been a few years since I have run anywhere ???) If its just a steady run I guess that I can do it, but man I wish I would have been given just a little more time (dont we all) to get in shape for this. Hopefully they will give me an A for effort if on the off chance the time is not met but my interview and shooting are good.
Thanks for the moral booster, that did help me to feel better.

Good luck. Here's some encouraging numbers.
A brisk walking pace is about 3 miles/hr (this, obviously does not apply to workers headed into Containment). That figures out to about 88yds/min, so you only have to go a bit more than 2x walking pace.

Thanks for that bit of encouragment, that helps me mentally prepare for this. I feel now I can do it.
