MAN FINISHES ATHLETIC CHALLENGE AFTER GIRLFRIEND PASSES OUT

A viral video from Australia has sparked debate online. The video is of an athletic event called the Sydney HYROX, a fitness race that focuses on endurance running with functional strength challenges. Competitors complete eight 1km runs, each followed by a different workout station, such as sled pushes, burpee jumps, rowing, and wall balls. The video shows a man continuing to complete the race after his girlfriend passed out. The man who took the video claims that the man tapped his girlfriend on the leg and then asked the race’s judge if he needed her to finish the race. When he was told that he “technically didn’t,” he ran off and finished the race without her. While she’s on the floor being treated by paramedics, he goes off and does wall balls.
* Well, it’s not like she was going anywhere.
* And neither is the relationship, apparently.
* Maybe that tap on the leg meant “You’re in good hands, sweetheart – I’m going to finish the race and dedicate it to you!”
* Or he wishes he’d said that’s what it meant.
* PHONE TOPIC: Ladies, ever had a guy just abandon you in your time of need?
