Session Two 18th of November 2010

On the 18th of November, the Year 11 Girls experienced their second session of the 'Rat Race: Nottingham to Paris' in the Gym at the Djanogly Leisure Centre. It was a very competitive session and all pupils were full of energy striving to gain the bonuses on offer en route across the country.
The girls were aware of how well their team did the week before, as the team leader was emailed the link to the blog. The girls reflected on last weeks scores, they were told that the teams that gained the greatest distance in KM were the teams that had all members hit a bonus (at least x2). Teams then began talking and at least 5KM was the target for all pupils.
A whopping total of 749.16KM was covered by the four teams competing, which is a whopping increase of 272.33KM to the first sessions total (despite all teams missing at least 1 member of their team).
The girls were working together selecting which piece of equipment was the most effective from session 1 and how long to stay on for e.g. Treadmill/ Exercise Bike/ Rowing Machine etc. All teams worked very hard and at the end of the session all of the individual scores were recorded and totalled.
After the second session the scores are as follows;
4th Place:

Spongebob Circle Pants : )
TOTAL = 126.85KM
POSITION = In Luton

3rd Place:
Six Lions
TOTAL = 274.97KM
POSITION = In the English Channel heading towards Calais.

2nd Place:
Barbie Girls
TOTAL = 394.79KM
POSITION = In France on the A26

1st Place:
Lanasujoja
TOTAL = 429.38KM
POSITION = In France between Saint Omer and Bethune on the E15
 
 
We also had some amazing individual scores this week and the current top 4 are;
1st = 149.56KM (x4 Bonus)
2nd = 128.12KM (x4 Bonus)
3rd = 110.28KM (x4 Bonus)
4th = 109.40 (x4 Bonus)

Excellent second session (even with a few absences) to the 'Rat Race: Nottingham to Paris'! Will Spongebob Circle Pants : ) reach the English Channel, will Six Lions continue their strong performance and become a contender? and will Lanasujoja still be the team at the front? or will Barbie Girls become the team to beat? Only the next session will answer these questions! 
 
Bring on Session Three on Thursday!
