I won! I won! I won!

It's Hell Week at Orangetheory Fitness and today's workout was called Final Distance Destination. It was a timed 45 minute partner row. When your partner was rowing you did a series of floor exercises in the weight area and then did a set distance on the treadmill before relieving them. The floor exercises were things like 70 bench hop-overs followed by 60 bicycle crunches, then 50 toe reaches. If at any time while you were in the weight area the screen went grey and a skull appeared you stopped what you were doing and did 13 burpees before resuming your exercise block.

It was murder. But my partner and I won for our class! We went 10,601 meters! I couldn't curl my fingers to write my name and the distance on our sheet. Partner had to do it for me. So proud of myself considering I only started working out 4 months ago.

Our fabulous prize? A can of pumpkin! Never seen two ladies smile so hard in a picture holding cans of pumpkin.
