Session Three: 26th of September 2011

On the 26th of September, the Year 11 Girls experienced their third 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 students.

A whopping total of 536.01KM was covered by the three teams competing!!

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;

3RD PLACE:

TEAM GeorgiaTieraArougeAnilaSumairaUroosaMasoodaAnaSofiaAshleigh
TOTAL: 433.20KM
POSITION: Outside Bethune, France

2ND PLACE:

TEAM KyanRayvenAnnaliseMoniqueSydelleTaniqua
TOTAL: 453.55KM
POSITION: Just Past Bethune, France

1ST PLACE:

TEAM MajoobaAnisahZaraLaurenZulfaMisba
TOTAL: 771.52KM
POSITION: In Paris!!!

WELL DONE TO.......TEAM MajoobaAnisahZaraLaurenZulfaMisba!!

They have reached the destination of Paris!! An amazing effort by all team members who powered to Victory with the following weekly totals!!
Week 1 = 201.49KM
Week 2 = 334.87KM (Beat last years highest weekly total which was 322.12KM Set by Lanasujoja)
Week 3 = 235.16KM

The competition is hotting up as it looks like its a battle for 2nd Place between TEAM KyanRayvenAnnaliseMoniqueSydelleTaniqua and TEAM GeorgiaTieraArougeAnilaSumairaUroosaMasoodaAnaSofiaAshleigh who are closing in after session 3.

The individual competition rolls into the final week and it could all change in session 4. Will TEAM MajoobaAnisahZaraLaurenZulfaMisba ease up after their team victory or will they push for extra KM in the individual competition?

For 2nd place who will it be?

TEAM KyanRayvenAnnaliseMoniqueSydelleTaniqua 

or TEAM GeorgiaTieraArougeAnilaSumairaUroosaMasoodaAnaSofiaAshleigh?

It all comes down to the last session!
