    Congrats Johannes_Cabal - it's a great feeling to get that pass! Well done! :) What was your time?

    Thanks, it really is.

    I don't want to be too specific but my time was a couple of seconds over the 3 mins. I was anticipating that if I did pass it was going to be by the skin of my teeth.

    Honestly? I dont like being uncomfortable so I was not happy going into the second lap but I was just shouting at myself 'hurry up!'

    Is your throat sore?! :D

    At least you got through it and yeah, although it's starting to pass now, it also felt like my lungs were on fire for a good 15 mins after.

    Congrats Shane! How'd you find it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 464 ✭✭shanevendrell


    Grand mate :) Cleared it with around 40 seconds to spare and that was being cautious enough with the obstacles.

    Absolutely nothing can prepare you for that air in the hall though, like training at altitude isnt it.

    Nice one, I was in and around same time as you then. Did you do the same as me and sprint the first lap and instantly regret it?

    I was drinking tons of water the night before and during the day before the test hoping it would help to be really hydrated....had absolutely no benefit, I was still came out coughing like I smoke 40 a day.

    Well done all. I also made it through it today, not as bad as I was expecting. I think if you had knocked over a few things it might be a lot tighter.

    Was in the afternoon session the day, came out coughing today as well. Glad to get it over and move on to the next stage of the process, congrats to everyone who passed the day.

    They could have done with opening the doors and turning off those bloody infa-red lamps!
    Wouldn't be very pleasant doing it in there on a hot sunny afternoon.

    Done and dusted!  Have to say it was tough enough, especially the third and final lap - wasn't sure if my legs would hold! But, ended the session with some good news.  Passed by about 30 seconds - not great but a pass is a pass! 

    Congratulations to everyone who passed and if you didn't - keep your head up.  There's another chance and you know what it entails.

    I also passed PCA today! So glad to have that stage over as it seemed to have so much pressure on it having waited a year and a half!

    Anyone waiting for a PCA date - make sure to go to the PCA familiarisation session! So worth it!

    Plus - don't underestimate the PCA - the video of the girl going around the course isn't timed and she is casually jogging - makes it look easier than it is. It's not quite like that lol

    Good luck all! Back to the wait for me!
