Our Super Hero Papa

So Mr. Marathon has finished yet another amazing feat. He recieved the German Armed Forces Badge for Military Proficiency. The difficultly of this is somewhere between a Triathalon and... running until you drop dead. There are 3 different levels: bronze, silver, & gold. And if you know Tait at all, you already know which level he went for. We are so proud of him.
He had to do ALL this: (in record time, of course)
1) 100 meter timed sprint
2) 3K (1.85 miles) timed run
3) Measured High-jump and Long-jump
4) 200 meter timed swim
5) Measured Shot-put or Stone-put
6) 25 meter Marksmanship (9mm pistol only)
7) 5 shots at 3 targets untimed
8) 18.6 mile Road March


(The guy awarding him thought it was a rite of passage to stab everyone with the badge. He got Tait pretty good.)

Very impressive! But not surprising, that's for sure. He's always been such a stud. Go Tait!!!

Nice job, Tait! Can you post the specifics for each category (i.e. times for the runs and swim, score for the shooting, etc.). By the way, Josh Aston was inquiring as to how you were doing. He's on Facebook, so you can add him as a friend. ;-)
