happy to report the hard work paid off
Minimum score is 15 points averaged over the 5 disciplines as follows (metric):
400m: under 6:30 = 5; 6:30 - 8:40 = 4; 8:40 - 11 = 3, 11-13 = 2, over 13 = 1 --completed in 6.45 don't ask how
800m: under 14min = 5; 14 - 16:30 = 4, 16:30 - 18:30 = 3, 18:30 - 21 = 2, over 21 = 1 completed in 15 minutes something
100m: under 2:10 = 5; 2:10 - 3:15 = 4, 5:15 - 4:20 = 3, 4:20 - 5:30 -2; over 5:30 = 1 completed in three minutes flat
15 min float: performed as per required = 5; hands not out for 2 compete minutes = 3; touched bottom or side = 1
Now THAT was a bit of a laugh.--Instructor that WAS timing me got distracted so I floated for a LOT more than 13 minures,
THEN the two minutes hands out of water-he got tied up with customers -I counted to one thousand four hundred before I called out to ask if I was done yet.
