The skinny
Stephen has become my benchmark at Bootcamp. He’s, like, half my age and a BOY, so he definitely has the testosterone edge. I try to catch him, and that makes me go faster than I would on my own. We were neck-and-neck for most of the workout. During one of the rounds, he was chatting with Crystal and I hauled ass on the squats so I could start the sprint before him. But that boy is fast on his feet: he caught me halfway up the hill. On the last round, I thought I had him, but he passed me again. I finished two seconds behind him. Not bad for a 41-year-old lady!

Then we got to be partners on the second part of the workout, and I must say, we excelled at the partner pushups.
