Chin-ups: 16,5,5,5= 31reps
Sit-ups: 38,27,(interrupted),20,10= 95reps
Push-ups: 52,17,(interrupted),28,(interrupted),16= 113reps

I paced myself way too much on the first set of SU. That first set was five fewer reps than last Monday's PFT. The subsequent sets of SU also show a weakness in SU speed. Pacing has always been my biggest problem with timed SU.

Push-ups were interrupted twice, so the total numbers on the last two sets are higher than they would have been with less rest in between.

Chin-up numbers were pretty good. The first set still needs to be bumped up a little more, but the consistency of the subsequent sets was satisfying.
