First Fitness Challenge

Well, this one was a first for the Weight Loss Challengers. There were three disciplines that the challengers had to complete. They were the Cone Switch, the Weight Walk, and the Pacer. These events tested their speed, strength and endurance. In the first event the challengers had to replace the cones from one seat to another. This was a 30 foot course that tested their agility and speed. The winner was the one who did the course the fastest time. Mat Conway won in 16.34 seconds.
The second event was the Weight Walk. This was a 60 meter course that the challengers have to tak weights and walk as long as they can. The women had 50 pound weight in both hands and the men had 70 pound weights in both hands. On this walk they were not allowed to put those weights down until they were finished. Each challenger had two spotters. This one was grueling for them. But in the end James Barany won by walking 450 feet. Take into consideration that this was done with an additional 140 pounds of weight it makes to feat even more impressive.
The third event was the Pacer. This was a 60 meter course. The challengers started at one end of the field and when they heard the beep they were to run to the other end before the next beep. If they made it they were to wait for the next beep and then run back to the start line. Every 10 times the beeps would get increasingly closer and the challengers would have to run quicker to get to the other side before the next beep. Cindy won with 50 laps completed. The equates to ½ mile of interval running. Good job Cindy(shown in the blue, last picture)!
