This is Team St. Johns Blog. We are a Firefighter Combat Challenge team from St. Johns Fire Department on Johns Island South Carolina. We currently have seven members on the team but hope to expand over time.
We started this team in 2007 with five members. We were able to compete in three events that year. Myrtle Beach at the State Firefighter Convention, Union South Carolina and the SCOTT event in Lexington Kentucky.
This year we have competed in Gainesville Florida and were able to qualify our mens relay and our coed tandem for the Championship Finals in Las Vegas this year. This is something that we are very proud of. This was the first time we had ever ran the relay. Our mens relay just barely qualified with a time of 1:59:11 just under the 2:00:00 mark required to qualify. We are working hard to improve that time and be more competitive. Our coed tandem team qualified with a 2:25:00. They are a strong team and will improve. This not only was the first time the coed tandem team competed as a tandem it was also the first event that they had ever been to.
Our next event is in Asheville North Carolina on May 23-24 2008. I will be posting pictures and results as soon as I can. Hope to hear from you and that you enjoy this Blog.
