Endurance,
determination and athletic ability were all on the line our
newest officers at Creswell competed in the CMDR Gray Cup last
month.
Two
male and two female competitors from each of the three divisions,
Jervis, Flinders and Phillip, volunteered to battle it out with
inter-divisional points up for grabs.
The CMDR Gray Cup is designed test individual performance in
series of 10 physical challenges.
The disciplines include maximum chin ups, an ergometer test
over three minutes on the rower, agility run, maximum push ups,
100m sprint and 2.4km run.
Scores on the day were determined on the basis that the winner
of any particular activity scores 100 per cent.
Less successful competitors accrue percentage of the best score.
The most successful aggregated score across all 10 activities
determined the individual winners of the cup. Competitors gave
it their all over two hours with the last event for the afternoon
the 2.4km time trial.
Physical and mental exhaustion began to take its toll as one
competitor had to withdraw mid way through the race with a strained
quadricep. MIDN Bailie of Flinders won the male category and
MIDN Schulstad of Jervis won the Female’s.
Overall winners for the day was Jervis Division who are now
sitting 13 points clear on top of the interdivisional challenge
scoreboard with the last event, the HMAS Creswell/ Shoalhaven
Region Cross Country being held on Thursday November 18.
