Greetings:
I am currently a senior in high school and was accepted to the USNA back in November. In December 2018, I avulsed my right hamstring tendon in a school wrestling match. I had surgery on 03 Jan 2019, and I am just now able to get back into running. I am currently going through the waiver process with a medical correspondent since my surgery did not directly disqualify me. I have kept my strength and cardiovascular ability up through strength training, swimming, and elliptical/bike. I should be able to max out the pushups and situps of the PRT, but I can only run about 100 meters without my hamstring giving out. I am doing my best to strengthen and condition the muscle, but I am concerned that I might not be ready by I-Day.
My questions:
•How far/fast should I be able to run by I-Day? I know the minimum for the PRT, but we will run farther than 1.5 miles.
•How do I know when to ask for a deferment, and when is it too late?
