It was modeled on what would make a good calvary soldier.

The equestrian event was the other that I helped coach, but in a different year. In both cases, the athletes that I worked with were living in my area.
HIMS 'almost' scores 100%... Lets call it 98%. The events are all correct. But the modern pentathlon was base on the skills needed for a good 'courier' (messenger) during the war.
To be more accurate;
Fencing, but only epee
Target Shooting, but only pistol
Swimming is a 200m freestyle
Running, a 3K event
Equestrian is a 12-15 jump course with non-familiar horses.
But 98% is good enough to become the new Inquisitor! Give it to us, HIMS!
