I realized after the workout that I don't think I have been doing tabata right. Specifically for push ups and pull ups, I paced myself and had a goal of doing only 5 or 6 each round so that I could have enough energy to get through the 8 tabata rounds for that exercize (which would put me at about 12-13 seconds, not 20). I think next time I am going to go all out for the 20 seconds and not worry about how low my reps may be in the next 20 second interval.
