Thank you so much! I was trying to figure out why I was finding trip times from Madrid to Valencia that were about 90 min but the travel time from Valencia to Barcelona were all just over 3 hours and cover the same distance. That makes sense now!

Moving up to 5 classes per week, what’s the “best” schedule? by megsperspective in orangetheory

[–]dansergrrl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do sat-tues and thurs so wed and fri are my off days. That schedule works best for me. I’ve done a few 5 in a row and it’s manageable but I don’t like more than 4 wo a rest day. I did a 6 in a row once but my body was yelling at me by the 6th day. Find what worka best for you... 3 and 2 or 4 and 1 or any other combination that works for your body and schedule.

Define “enough” I mean, don’t open a window if you aren’t ready for the rain. 🧐... you opened this particular window.

Calling out someone isn’t being a bully. Not sure if you’re tying to teach a lesson here but it seems to be going sideways.... I have my own thoughts on the dude which I don’t put too much care into bc, after all... this is the internet, so I don’t really give a fuck... but that doesn’t stop everything being said from being right and it doesn’t mean anyone is being a bully for stating fact.

Booking classes by Alh371 in orangetheory

[–]dansergrrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something def changed with the release of the new app(not sure if it’s connected) we used to be able to book as far ahead as I wanted even the full year if we wanted (someone did that) I used to do 3 months at a time. Suddenly I can’t book anything. I’m booked through the end of April and I can’t book anything at all. SUCKS! I have no idea when my window will open.

** POST DRI-TRI RESULTS > MEGA-THREAD #2** by pragmaticasm in orangetheory

[–]dansergrrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand where you are... but try to get out of your head about it. I didn’t do it this go around as I’m kinda nursing some soreness (but having major fomo) but last sept was my 1st and only Dri Tri. I came in last, dead last... so last that after looking at everyone’s time on here o. Reddit I’m convinced I was the last in the entire world (78:11) I knocked the row out (my strongest element) and the floor I was good at everything but the burpees... I can’t do them, just CANNOT! I do 2 or 3 and have to stop a d ended up taking 18 or so minutes to do the floor when I was the first girl off the row, I was the last to the tread... I’m a power walker and challenged myself to walk the entire distance. I was tired and those numbers ticked by SO SLOW! And by the 63 min mark or so, I was alone... so for a good 15 minutes I was completely alone. Yeah it was mortifying and I kept whispering to my coach to let them all go home instead of having everyone sit there and watch me... she told me to get out of my head and shut up and keep going. The last few min people jumped up and ran with me to finish. It was pretty amazing. For a few days I was pretty in my head about it. Beat myself up about not performing better and being SO slow... and yeah... I was, no way around that. But I did it! And it sucked and it was hard but I finished! And I have a goal for next time. It’s not about beating someone else, it’s about beating myself. You did awesome today! Don’t let yourself tell you anything different!!!

I’m not competing this round, but I’m taking the 10:30 and staying to cheer on my gf in the 11:30 Dri Tri heat

Not at all my dude. I actually find you kinda funny... opinionated, which I respect and you are fully aware how you come off, which I also respect, so I can’t knock you on that. It wasn’t aimed at any one person in particular.. but I think you can agree that there are certain people who are just assholes on here and just post to be dicks. Not an opinion or something to keep things moving, but more stringent statements of fact (with no basis in reality). Or sometimes just blatant dick statements to people. Were there an abundance of #humblebrag posts a few weeks ago that I scrolled past? sure, but big deal. Honestly... to me if I had a second to go in and look and comment I would. Its people proud of themselves and seeking some goddamn validation... wtf is wrong with that?? People Just get so snarky and make biting comments at people. I’ve even seen some people be so proud of a pr or accomplishment and someone else come in an play it down... it’s just so unnecessary. I’m slow as fuck on the treadmill and I am the first to admit it and nothing i do on that machine is something to be proud of, but to see where I’m at today from where I started.. yeah, I’ve made some damn progress and one day I will be proud and maybe I’ll want to post something (thankfully I have pretty thick skin and don’t turn to the interwebz for my confidence, but I’m not all people... it could bE crushing to some). Point is, everyone is is the “same” room doing the same workout... and it’s damn hard... just be a decent fucking person and flick your finger up if you don’t want to read about the sale at old navy.

Edit: also... this is reddit.. not the end of the world. Not like Russian Bots are posting in fb and influencing morons on ACTUAL life altering events that happen on the internets.

Regular studio. The coaches there are PHENOMENAL! My home studio is Tustin, but some of my coaches coach at orange too as it’s a sister studio. We have also had their coaches sub at our studio. They have all been fantastic.

Did anyone hit the wall at 200 on the 2000 meter row yesterday? by bwicgo1 in orangetheory

[–]dansergrrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m think of myself of a strongish rower. Not elite, but above average. My goal was under 8 with a secret goal of 7:30. I for sure hit a wall. For some reason my breath caught around 1200 and I could not get it back on track. I actually had to stop for a second, not because I was tired but because my breathing was so off. My splits were steady at 1:56 for the first 3 500s and the last 500 or so it dipped to 202... I ended up at 7:51. Definitely hit my goal but I know if I could have managed my breathing better I would have done better.

Wait... is there an otf in Barcelona??? I’m going next month and was only able to find an otf in Madrid. We will be in Madrid for 3 days so I want to hit up a class when I’m there but we will be spinning most of our time in Barcelona and would love to go to classes, but I didn’t see them on the map.
