BLOODY IPPT! CHIN YOU!!!

I failed my IPPT last December which explains why I was attending RT for the last 4 weeks. I couldn’t pass last year as I was pretty much slacking in my cardiovascular exercises and I failed my 2.4km run by 18 seconds. Doesn’t sound much but I ran my lungs out and almost fainted on the treadmill.

After 4 weeks of really pushing it during RT – especially during runs – I went for the IPPT test yesterday with much confidence.
True enough, I improved my run by almost a good 30 seconds and had probably some energy left in me at the end of the run.

Hurray?

NO!

I FAILED MY CHIN-UPS BY ONE! ARRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

I needed to do at least 5 and I struggled at the 5th and my chin was probably 5cm from the bar. The 2nd attempt was even worse.

Somebody just chin me to death already. I am very disappointed in myself. I concentrated too much on my 2.4km run that I totally neglected my upper body strength training. KuKuNehNeh even suggested that I might have gained weight since last December and hence the decline in chin-up counts. :p

Anyway, bad news for failing the IPPT. I have to continue into the next RT phase and this means I have to attend RT for 3 days per week for the next 4 weeks.

WHAT THE CHIN?? ARRRGHHH!!!
