i think the optimum (max points) for shuttle run was like 7.8 seconds. Its a 10 yard thing where you go back and forth 2 times.

Overall the SLS never gave us any breaks in between any of the CFA events. I was just going from one event right to the next. I am pretty weak on the mile to begin with ~6:50 usually, but I performed terribly at the SLS because it was 90-95 degrees, and by the time I started the run I felt like I had already run a mile. They were very strict with form for all the exercises too.

I got a “overall risk” =(

59 ft. bball throw
8 pullups (friggin DQed 2 of them)
9.1 sec shuttle
55 situps (should have had 60+ didn’t count a bunch of them cuz my hands moved)
48 pushups (more DQS!)
7:50 mile (w t f ??? i did so horribly)

Basically I beat jq at every event except the bball throw and the mile. I didn’t fail the mile (8:00+ is fail im pretty sure) but still got overall risk. My sergeant told me that even tho I performed fairly well in every other event, the mile is probably very heavily weighted, which would explain the “overall risk”.

I’m definitely retaking it back at home with my track coach. I can pretty much improve on every single event without all the DQs, and hopefully I can pick a day where it is below 80 degrees to run the mile.
