I incorporated my lesson into our preseason basketball conditioning so the students I used were actually all basketball players. Overall the lesson was a success, in that their fitness improved from the beginning of the week, to the end of the week. They all improved at different rates as some excelled in certain aspects of the biathlon and others struggled.
For a physical education lesson I think pre-assessments are fairly straightforward and it is easy to measure progress throughout the lesson. I recorded their times on the first day when they ran their practice biathlon and we used that as a barometer for the rest of the week. All of the students improved by the end of the lesson.
I do think that the one gaping hole in my pilot is that all of the students I used were already somewhat fit and athletic. If this were an actual PE class there would be students of all different abilities, and I would have to adjust my rubric slightly. However, I feel that improvement is success. No matter what the end time is, if it is better than the original then the lesson was a success.
