Road to American Ninja Warrior

Hey hey!

You'll be pleased to know that Amazon came through with all the goods and I've got a fitbit back in my pocket and a new cheapy timelapse camera.

My phone was not great at recording timelapse of my workouts AND providing me with sweet distracty podcasts AND everything else I ask of it, so I got a specialized timelapse-y, so I'll see how that goes over the next few days.

Smashed out my Titan Games Trial fitness test... and on that... with both Ninja Warrior and Beast Master, they would be pretty quick to tell you if you were in the first round of applications either before the closing date or within a week.

Next time... next time I'm going to be amazing! Just you wait and see!!
