We ran through the new APRT a while ago as a trial run. I thought the standards for the rower were a bit nit-picky and not clearly defined (varied greatly from scorer to scorer).

I liked the new push up standard; to me it was easier, but the 2 second rest period thing was a bit goofy. The scorer had to keep track of how many reps you did AND the amount of rest you were taking, and some folks had trouble keeping an accurate count. It was painfully obvious to see who has never worked their triceps...

I'm unsure about the sprint; it seemed like no matter how fast you went, your score totally hinged on how accurately you placed the block. Not exactly a fitness standard IMHO.

The jump was fun; mostly we laughed at the people who fell on their face slipping on the wet grass.

No issues with the run.

my $0.02, YMMV
