Physical and Written tests

What a tough physical test today. I could really feel the difference of breaking my requirements up and doing them throughout the day vs back-to-back. I'm most disappointed that I only got 43 sit ups done in a minute. I needed to do them faster. I wasn't at my physical limit (unlike v-sit ups and pull ups). But if I step back, I did well overall. For a 43 year old mom, I feel good about my physical well-being. I'm also disappointed that I missed one on the written, especially because I knew the answer, I just didn't realize that the detail was required. What matters most is that I know it though.
OUCH!
