Alright, so raider team is the group of students in the JROTC program who do a bunch of physical things for meets and stuff. So here are the stages I go through as I train with them~!
Stage 1: the "I'm so pumped!!" stage
In this stage, I've done a few warm up things and I feel pretty ready~! I normally am very loud and I enjoy the people around me.
Stage 2: The run
The Run is where we actually run places. This is the point where I don't talk to people because I'm not the fastest, but I'm also not the slowest so I'm kinda on my own. But I like it that way. That way I can be on my own and not have to worry about being too fast/too slow for a person.
Stage 3: The "let me breathe!" stage
This is the stage where I don't want to be touched/spoken to/encouraged. Just STFU and let me cool down from that run!
Stage 4: The 40 pound ammunition can lift.
Oh! I can do this!!! I can totally lift this amo can! It looks so easy! Yeah, NO! That shiz is hard! You have to bring it from under your chin, over your head with your arms fully extended, and back down. Excuse me but WHAT?! this is hella hard to do! My arms feel like noodles and my legs feel like death! T~T but I like it because then I get to cheer everyone else on and that is what I do best. At his stage, I'm normally that kid who's words are slurred from slight exhaustion.
Stage 5: Captain giggles.
At this point, I between the second and third event, I'm normally pretty giggly and I talk a lot. Most of the others are pretty quiet for the most part and I hate awkward silences, so I crush them with my giggles and jokes~
Stage 6: The final event
By this point. I'm pretty confident that I'll do well, but when I have to carry a git who's 20 to 30 pounds heavier than me, I start to panic. First, it's a sprint, then you army crawl, then baby crawl, then zigg-zags, then you carry the person, then fire and carry them to the start, then you pick up two of the 40 pound amo cans from event two and you carry them across the field, the. 3-5 push-ups, then you carry the amo came back to the start, and then you're done. By this point, I feel like death. Like I want to drop dead on the spot. But I keep telling myself that it's worth it.... I hope...
Stage 7: Finally home..
I eat, take a shower, and sleep. 'Nuff said. I'm done. XD
