Decathlon

I started a "decathlon" with the other developers at work, and I have completed all the events except one. These are the events:

200m dash - I did this this morning after my mile, and ran a 36.43. That's almost but not quite world record pace in the marathon, and I was giving it everything I had in a sprint.

1 mile - Today's 7:32 is my best in a long time. I seem to think I did some miles faster than this back in Fremont. But I'm not entirely sure.

10k - I ran a 54:53 back in mid-May, which is my best ever.

200yd freestyle - Went 2:37 this evening. A bit better than I expected, as I was thinking that about 40 sec / 50 yards would be my best.

Pull-ups - I can't say I have completed this one because I was unable to do a pull-up.

Push-ups - 15. I was disappointed with this.

Wall sit - 1:24. I had no idea how difficult this would be.

Standing broad jump - 68 inches. I think with some technique practice I could do better.

Jump rope (1 minute, rope rotations) - 57. Terrible. I don't have the timing down very well, my rope was too light weight, and I kept snagging it on my foot and having to restart. I think a bit of practice will bump this up a lot.

Stair climb - 51.04 seconds. We work on the 8th floor, so this is from the 1st to the 8th. The first 4 floors were very easy. The last one was not.
