i am going to be doing my first combat challenge this summer, i was courious if anyone had any training tips so that i am ready for the 2 minutes of hell!!!

i did my first combat challenge last year, in Lexington, ky & i loved it. Wish it would come back to Lexington ,ky again

I have a crew from Iowa that went to Vegas to paticipate, when they say toughest two minutes in sports, they ain't lyin.

In September , my department will be holding "physical agility" tests for all members ,for the first time in the 25 years I've been there . I am working under my 4th Chief and he is really doing the fire service some good in our service area .
We have been told to expect to be doing the FF Combat challenge evolutions ,wearing an SCBA , but we will be off air .
I am going to the annual Tennessee Ultimate Firefighter (TUFF) challenge at our State Fire training Accadamy as well in September - it is also comparable to the FF combat challenge ,with the exception that you are not on air during the evolutions . I look forward to them both , to prove to some our younger firefighters and be acknowledged that I may be an "old Dogg" as my nick name implies ,but I can still "hang" with the Big Dogs !

I am currently 47 years old and look forward to participating next year with a relay team. Does anyone have any information concerning age breakdowns, competetive team times, and any training tips.
