I will be getting 30 straight next time. Not sure how much I can improve by the contest deadline so I won't predict any more than that.
it depends on how you failed, i think. if the problem was that your muscles gave out, you might be able to squeak out another few (30 sounds doable). if it's a cardio thing you could condition yourself.
i'm thinking i can at least match 40 next go-round, but it's definitely chancy. worst part is if i hit 40 i'll have to go for 45 since i'll be damned if i'm just going to top it by one.
