Just had to brag

[ladycute1]

Hi folks --

I just couldnt resist an opportunity to brag...
I started dive master
training, and to begin the course there are a series of stamina
tests... a 400 yd swim, an 800 yd snorkle, mask, and fin swim, a 100
yd full gear tired diver tow, and a 15 minute tread... Each test is
worth 5 points, you need 12 points to pass..... Well, I was worried
about this... but, :::trumpet sounding::: I scored 18 points!!! A
perfect score on the 800 yd and the tread; 4 points each on the 400
and 100 yd. Not bad for a 40 year old fat broad!.

Don't know yourself girl. From one who was there not too long ago - bravo, and congratulations!

Well done!! Thats encouraging news for a 40 something fat guy that has to do the same pretty soon.

Congratulations! Been there myself....you did good

Congrats. Thats great to hear. I started DM training some time back and have almost quite a bunch of time 'cause I don't want to do the swimming!

Ladycute1,
Congratulations!!! You should feel proud of those accomplishments.
Kudos, too, for the great self-attitude. the world would be a bit nicer if all folks had the same healthy level of self-esteem-and a killer sense of humor to boot.
Good luck with the rest of the course,
Mike
