Flag Night and Challenge

Well today was our first group challenge, 1.5 miles of track and road. Some of the class was worried about the challenge. Some were not so worried. It went really well with everyone finishing and no one getting hurt. I was not used to running in this cool of weather, 40 degrees, but I managed to endure through it. I did a respectable time of 12.26. This for me is a darn good time considering I am not a runner. While running past the Jefferson building Director Mueller came out of some offices and watched us as we trotted by and wished us well. Our next challenge is next Wednesday. We are anxiously waiting to see what that will be for us considering the normal trails the runs are done on are now off limits due to surveying being done. Tonight was also Flag Night. This is where we get to meet new FBI Agents as they receive their new duty assignments and see what state they are going to and see who they may prospectively be working with. Also this gives us a change to interact with the class as a whole a little more than just at meals. I got to meet several of the international class members that I haven't had a chance to speak with. Also got a chance to swap patches and coins with the other students and pick up some pretty cool souvenirs.
