Session One: 12th of September 2011

On the 12th of September, the Year 11 Girls experienced took part in their 'Rat Race: Nottingham to Paris' in the Gym at the Djanogly Leisure Centre. It was a very successful session and the students were full of energy striving to gain the bonuses on offer.
A whopping total of 502.22KM was covered by the three teams competing (Compared to last years Year 11 who recorded 476.83KM in Week 1). The girls were working together selecting strategies in their teams choosing which piece of equipment to use 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 first session the scores are as follows;

3RD PLACE:

TEAM 3 (NAME YET TO BE DECIDED)
TOTAL: 105.41KM
POSITION: Just past Northampton


2ND PLACE:

TEAM 1 (NAME YET TO BE DECIDED)
TOTAL: 195.32KM
POSITION: Just outside London


1ST PLACE:

TEAM 2 (NAME YET TO BE DECIDED)
TOTAL: 201.49KM
POSITION: Harrow Road in London.

We also had some amazing individual scores and the top 3 are;

1st = 72.36KM (x4 Bonus)

2nd = 46.96KM (x4 Bonus)

3rd = 44.72KM (x4 Bonus)

The names of pupils that recorded these scores will remain anonymous until Session 3 and then full leaderboard will be published. The winner then will be awarded their prize for the outstanding contribution they have given to their group and also the benefits they have gained from the workouts.

Excellent start to the 'Rat Race: Nottingham to  Paris'! Will TEAM 3 catch TEAM 1 and will TEAM 2  still be the team to catch? Bring on Session Two on MONDAY!
