Grimweasel, you're great! I want to be like you!
I hate doing the fitness test. I lose sleep the week before and and not very pleasant to be around for that week. I pass, not with flying colours, but I do. I wish I could lose the mental block I have over it and just do it because I know, deep down that I can pass, so people like you are a real treat to have around, you help no end! I'm quite odd in that I enjoy doing the dunker; a lot don't and I can see why, so I would never say that it was easy and can't see what the fuss is about, because I can. It's just that those difficulties don't affect me and this principle applies to the fitness test except that I'm the one who has the mental problem in this case.

What the 6-monthly test does do is that it means that I am obliged to work for the test throughout the year rather than try to forget for 10 months and then do myself an injury trying to cram for the test. So, for that, the new regime is a good idea and makes a lot of sense,
