Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

That is a great idea! Have a plan in your head on how you will tackle each obstacle and run through it your head before you do the actual test. Once they say "three, two, one GO" you will get total tunnel vision and there is no time to think, you just charge on 0 -

I did that is campaign 1. It's really good to have run through mentally in the weeks beforehand, even though the PTI is there to direct you, having a 'mental map' of the course really helps you to maintain orientation and cuts down on valuable seconds if you were to wait/slow down for direction.0 -

Mines is VERY soon too, excited and nervous. How long did the whole thing last?
About an hour and a half for me but a batch of us who had completed it were allowed to leave whilst others were still waiting to do it.
Goodluck with it, you'll be grand though, I was quite nervous before hand and during but surprised myself with the time I achieved.
So even if you feel you are doing a horrible job of it, don't give up just keep pushing.0 -

It is a good experience, just give it your all, I tried to go as fast as possible on the sprint sections and take my time with the actual obstacles and by the 3rd lap I felt like I was walking.0 -
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.0 -

Congrats Muffins, how did you find it?
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?!

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.0 -

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.0 -
