Ladder Raise - Firefighter Agility Test

This was my attempt at the agility test for the local volunteer fire department in my town. For a 41 year old woman who has no experience, I am proud of what I did. It is much harder than these guys make it look. Firefighters put their lives on the line and the physical training you need to do it deserves a lot of respect.

This event would have been so easy had I done it first, but I did it last. I had no upper body strength left and you can tell. Also the ground was very slippery. I did not meet the maximum time, but I think I would have had I realized it was ok to let the bottom of the ladder slide into the wall. Plus I was trying not to break the light fixture that was up on top of the wall.
