Oct. 21st, 2017 02:05 pmTL;DR: I passed, technically.
I had only tested the sprint on the beach with 100m measured by my stride length and my nephew counting, but I got 18s which was close to my approximation.
The 1.5 mile, he said I got 17:20, which isn't that much different from what I do with hills, so the hills didn't matter that much. I'm so glad I trained as hard as I did. I hate to adjust my pace the whole time to make sure I passed.
The sit ups went better than expected, but I was confident I could pass. The push ups went as well as expected. The standing long jump took me 4-5 tries, but I was fairly sure I could get a good one. The chalk made all the difference on the bar hang.
The modified flip flops are so much easier than the standard ones. He needs to up the number.
I didn't pass the shuttle runs (did about 14.5 I think,) but he let me and 2 others do the alternative that was made for bad knees, which I easily passed. This is the where I technically passed. I'm going to try to make it a personal goal to legit pass the shuttle runs before December.
For the curious, the requirements to pass the test was (for adult women):
100m sprint: 21s
1.5 mile: 18m
push ups: 30 in 1 minute
sit ups: 35 in 1 minute
hang from a bar: 30s
standing long jump: 5ft
flip-flop: 13 in 1 minute
10m (technically 11m) shuttle runs: 15 in 2 minutes
alt to shuttle run was dojang laps: 9 in 2 minutes
EDIT: the rest is just hard work and isn't pass/fail, so I'm not afraid of the rest.
