I got the maximum score on today's Annual Physical Fitness Test: 300! 55 pushups and 80 situps in two minutes each and 22 minutes to ride 10k on the bike. The bike is pass/fail. I had 28 minutes to pass. The last five times I took the test I scored between 288 and 297. It was great to finally get 300. If you are wondering how I could ride the bike--above age 55 I get my choice of running, walking, or riding. Once I got the max score on the other two events, I did not want to mess up like last time and run 20 seconds too slow and miss 300.
For the rest of the day, I took pictures of a blackhawk and a chinook picking up Officer Candidates School trainees and went to the battalion picnic with Nigel and Jacari. After that I talked to a couple of friends at the armory and rode 30 miles.
Life doesn't get much better than that!
