    I was behind the girl who pooped herself during the Hyrox race (yes I got poop on me)

Transcript

Everyone. So recently, I did the same HyRocks race that that girl who pooped herself did, and I was actually in her lane. So I had to use all of the poop covered equipment, weights, everything that she used. So you guys haven't seen this girl pooped herself during the race. I noticed it way before anyone because I was, like, maybe two people behind her. And no I was able to see the poop, like, on her legs, and I was like, oh my gosh. Here we go. But I had worked so hard to prep for this race. I was not gonna give up. The people in front of me weren't gonna give up. So luckily, by the time that they used all the equipment, there was only, like, a little bit of poop for me. And there was, you know but there was still plenty for the people behind me. So it was not only me, but the people in front of me and behind me that got poop on them doing the race. Better, again, we had invested so much time into it. We were not gonna give up so messed up that she did this. She ruined it for all of us. Oh, and the other thing too is me and all the people who got poop on them got violations. Like, we got extra time violations. And some of us even got disqualified because there were these two girls behind me who, like, like, gagged from it gagged from the smell. Luckily, I have a strong stomach, so I was okay. They got disqualified. So unfair. Completely out of our control, and this girl who pooped finished rank and won.
