October Events and Training

Wednesday, Oct. 10, 2012
6 p.m.
Mt. Abram High School Track (rain or shine)

Will be our annual fitness test.
MASAR requires that each team certify that its members are physically fit enough to carry out the mission.

The meeting will be held at Mt. Abram high School in Salem at 6 p.m. (not in Kingfield and this is a ½ hour earlier than normal)

What to bring? Bring a pack and 25 lbs. of weight, some folks use: 2 liter bottles of water, free weights, sandbags, rocks, etc. and good footwear for walking fast. The test: walk 2 miles around the track wearing your 25 lb. pack in 30 minutes or less. You are not permitted to run.

What if I am unable to take the fit test tomorrow due to injury or other situations? 

No worries, come at 6:30 for the meeting and take the test at another time.

FSAR has purchased some utility cord so that all interested team members can fabricate a purcell prussik.  We will do this following the fitness test at Mt. Abram.
