Clydesdale Media Roundtable - The Open is Over! Who is $15,000 Richer? · Clydesdale Media Podcast

• 0:25
  What's going on, everybody?
• 0:26
  Man, I've got to switch that.
• 0:28
  Usually it dies off a little bit.
• 0:30
  Yeah.
• 0:31
  And this one just ends
• 0:32
  abruptly and I'm not ready.
• 0:34
  But here we are.
• 0:35
  I was pulling up some stuff.
• 0:39
  So, hey.
• 0:40
  Hey.
• 0:41
  It's a round table.
• 0:46
  But why is Corey saying my
• 0:47
  new internet's on the fritz?
• 0:51
  We're all live.
• 0:52
  Everything's working, right?
• 0:54
  I think so.
• 0:57
  can hear us all yeah yeah I
• 1:01
  love my new internet it's
• 1:03
  so fast so fast so fast um
• 1:09
  oh because you're late no
• 1:10
  you're always like 20
• 1:11
  minutes early corey oh yeah
• 1:18
  you are early it was
• 1:19
  against amy's philosophy
• 1:22
  that my family, um, motto is, uh,
• 1:26
  don't be a dick.
• 1:28
  So when we're out in public, um,
• 1:31
  if when the kids are younger,
• 1:33
  we would just say to bad.
• 1:34
  And I mean, don't be a dick.
• 1:36
  So that's our family rule.
• 1:38
  And Corey's breaking it.
• 1:39
  Yes.
• 1:40
  Yeah.
• 1:42
  There it is.
• 1:43
  Right there.
• 1:46
  Uh,
• 1:49
  that's true wad zombie yeah
• 1:51
  um wad zombie says cory is
• 1:54
  a dick who comes early yeah
• 1:58
  20 minutes early yeah every
• 2:01
  time so uh don't say d-bag
• 2:07
  though right it's the bad
• 2:09
  not d-bag right right so
• 2:14
  yeah wow we're off to a
• 2:16
  roaring start already um
• 2:18
  Lots to talk about, though, today.
• 2:20
  Let's dig in.
• 2:21
  Lots to talk about.
• 2:22
  So the Open is done.
• 2:24
  You have finished.
• 2:26
  I have.
• 2:27
  I did not compete this year.
• 2:29
  I just got to watch.
• 2:31
  And I actually downloaded
• 2:35
  your consistency list.
• 2:37
  Okay.
• 2:38
  And then I moved it over to our drive,
• 2:41
  and I accidentally deleted it,
• 2:43
  trying to clear off space on our drive.
• 2:45
  So...
• 2:47
  So basically what it showed
• 2:49
  is that Amy has been right
• 2:51
  around the 90th percentile
• 2:54
  since she's done the Open in 2014.
• 2:58
  And so she is 91st percentile this year,
• 3:02
  meaning even if they didn't
• 3:04
  change the rules,
• 3:05
  you'd be going on to quarterfinals.
• 3:08
  Yeah, I guess that's true.
• 3:12
  That would still be happening.
• 3:13
  And I think if you saw my worst open,
• 3:17
  which was my first, right?
• 3:19
  So that's to be expected.
• 3:21
  I was 65th percentile.
• 3:24
  And then I was 87th the following year.
• 3:28
  And then 90s and above.
• 3:32
  for, for after that.
• 3:33
  So, yeah, I'm, I'm pretty happy that,
• 3:35
  you know,
• 3:36
  most of my PRS have stayed about
• 3:38
  the same as far as like strength stuff,
• 3:41
  but, um,
• 3:42
  my technique has gotten way better.
• 3:43
  Um, and you know,
• 3:45
  just maintaining fitness at my age.
• 3:47
  I'm great with that efficiencies.
• 3:50
  So you don't gas out as early.
• 3:51
  Um,
• 3:52
  you don't spin around the world doing
• 3:54
  double unders anymore.
• 3:57
  I don't have the same cardio
• 3:59
  that I used to.
• 4:00
  And that's, I mean,
• 4:01
  that's when I was really
• 4:03
  training a lot of cardiovascular, like,
• 4:06
  you know, marathon training.
• 4:07
  So I have, you know, less of that,
• 4:10
  but I am able to do more, you know,
• 4:14
  Metcons and things like
• 4:15
  that at a stable pace.
• 4:17
  So.
• 4:19
  So before we get into the elite athletes,
• 4:21
  um,
• 4:22
  what is your overall impression from
• 4:24
  the three workouts put
• 4:25
  together as an open this year?
• 4:28
  Were you happy or sad?
• 4:32
  So I loved the last workout.
• 4:35
  Like I needed that workout.
• 4:37
  Um,
• 4:39
  because I like those skills
• 4:42
  of gymnastics and just
• 4:45
  because I've been doing
• 4:46
  CrossFit for a long time,
• 4:46
  I'm able to do them after, you know,
• 4:50
  like a lot of practice and hard work.
• 4:52
  So I needed that one.
• 4:54
  I wonder,
• 4:55
  like I hated the first workout
• 4:57
  and I wonder if it was
• 4:59
  really the workout that I
• 5:00
  hated or it just that it
• 5:02
  was the first one.
• 5:03
  And I'm just somewhat of an
• 5:04
  anxious person when the
• 5:05
  open comes around that like,
• 5:09
  just the anticipation of it.
• 5:11
  And then like, I hated it during it.
• 5:13
  And I think it was more of a
• 5:15
  mental than it is, was the physical task.
• 5:18
  And so I would be curious to hit that up,
• 5:20
  you know, and I don't know, a month or so,
• 5:22
  and just see what it feels
• 5:24
  like coming at it with,
• 5:26
  with less nerves overall.
• 5:31
  And just so people know,
• 5:33
  like I've been around Amy
• 5:34
  for 10 years now.
• 5:36
  And she, and it's funny, like her, her,
• 5:40
  her son,
• 5:40
  I think this son this year talked
• 5:42
  you down from an anxious moment.
• 5:45
  But you put so much pressure
• 5:47
  on yourself during the open.
• 5:49
  I do.
• 5:50
  And,
• 5:51
  and you still perform at a very high
• 5:53
  level, which is really cool.
• 5:54
  Yeah.
• 5:55
  And I do better when I don't think.
• 5:57
  And so that first workout, to me,
• 6:00
  it sucks because you know
• 6:03
  that there's no technique
• 6:05
  area where you can make it up.
• 6:06
  It is all grunt, all grit.
• 6:09
  Can you push yourself beyond
• 6:11
  your limits and just keep going?
• 6:15
  Yeah.
• 6:16
  Cause there's nothing fun about that.
• 6:17
  There's no,
• 6:18
  like I accomplished this technique.
• 6:21
  Um,
• 6:22
  but I do think it's something like if
• 6:23
  people came in off the street,
• 6:25
  they could do that workout.
• 6:27
  Yeah.
• 6:27
  A couple months into CrossFit.
• 6:28
  I agree.
• 6:29
  And I,
• 6:30
  I liked the scaled version of both
• 6:32
  of those first two workouts.
• 6:34
  Um, I actually think for this,
• 6:36
  this last one,
• 6:37
  I think jumping chest of
• 6:38
  our pull-ups are terrible.
• 6:40
  Like I think they're really challenging.
• 6:42
  Um,
• 6:45
  And I think it's very
• 6:46
  discouraging to a lot of
• 6:48
  athletes because like a lot
• 6:49
  of athletes can jump high enough on there,
• 6:53
  but maybe just can't get
• 6:55
  their chest to it because
• 6:57
  it's not a move that's trained a lot.
• 6:59
  You know, I don't think, I mean,
• 7:01
  and that's gym dependent.
• 7:02
  I'm not throwing that out to,
• 7:04
  I'll take responsibility for that.
• 7:06
  But it is a different movement.
• 7:08
  Like people who have done
• 7:09
  that part of the workout,
• 7:10
  their calves are gonna be killing,
• 7:13
  you know,
• 7:13
  from all the jumping chest to bar.
• 7:15
  Well,
• 7:15
  and here's my beef with a jumping
• 7:16
  chest to bar.
• 7:17
  I don't think it helps you
• 7:18
  get a chest to bar.
• 7:19
  Yeah.
• 7:20
  Right.
• 7:20
  And it's, it's,
• 7:21
  it's not something that if
• 7:22
  you do better at that,
• 7:23
  you'll learn the technique
• 7:25
  and you're pulling for
• 7:26
  someone who's never like
• 7:27
  gotten up to the bar like
• 7:29
  that before you're pulling your face.
• 7:31
  Yeah.
• 7:32
  It's bar.
• 7:33
  And it's just,
• 7:34
  so you almost change your
• 7:36
  body angle to make it so
• 7:38
  you can just bang the chest.
• 7:39
  Yeah.
• 7:41
  from someone who's done it
• 7:42
  scaled before and done the
• 7:44
  jumping chest to bar, it's awful.
• 7:47
  And it took me,
• 7:49
  it took me a lot of
• 7:49
  practice just to be able to get them.
• 7:52
  And then to do them,
• 7:53
  I have to do it in like a
• 7:54
  weird body contortion.
• 7:56
  It's like an undulation, you know?
• 7:59
  Yeah.
• 7:59
  Yeah.
• 8:00
  I don't think it helps you
• 8:01
  at all at getting to a chest of bar.
• 8:03
  Yeah.
• 8:04
  Yeah.
• 8:06
  personally, but, but that's it.
• 8:08
  I didn't do it this year,
• 8:09
  so I don't have any room to complain.
• 8:11
  But what I did love is, you know,
• 8:14
  my favorite parts of the
• 8:15
  open are when you see somebody, you know,
• 8:17
  get,
• 8:17
  do something that they've never done
• 8:19
  before.
• 8:19
  And it was great that I was
• 8:22
  able to help support a
• 8:23
  couple of athletes with
• 8:25
  getting their first
• 8:25
  pull-ups with just chin
• 8:27
  over bar pull-ups.
• 8:29
  And they were just so ecstatic.
• 8:31
  And that's,
• 8:32
  those are the parts I like the most.
• 8:35
  Um,
• 8:36
  and bar muscle ups are a good exercise
• 8:38
  for that too.
• 8:39
  Um, every time they put those in the open,
• 8:41
  you get a ton of videos of
• 8:43
  people getting their first bar muscle up.
• 8:45
  Yeah.
• 8:45
  Um, pushing themselves to that moment.
• 8:48
  So I liked that that was in
• 8:49
  this year's open.
• 8:50
  Um, but yeah.
• 8:55
  Yeah.
• 8:55
  Cool.
• 8:56
  Um, so I'm glad that you did that.
• 8:58
  Can't wait for quarterfinals.
• 9:00
  Um,
• 9:00
  you get a couple extra days this year
• 9:02
  to get it, get it all in.
• 9:03
  Yeah.
• 9:04
  So here's my, so here's,
• 9:05
  what's an interesting fact.
• 9:06
  Let's talk about this.
• 9:07
  Cause maybe I just haven't
• 9:08
  read the rules to understand.
• 9:09
  So where my standings are right now,
• 9:13
  I hit quarterfinals for both age group.
• 9:17
  Correct.
• 9:17
  So are they going to be,
• 9:19
  is it the same workouts?
• 9:21
  Yep.
• 9:21
  Okay.
• 9:22
  Same weekend, same workouts.
• 9:23
  Okay.
• 9:24
  Okay.
• 9:24
  So you will actually compete
• 9:27
  in both during that.
• 9:29
  Okay.
• 9:30
  Got it.
• 9:30
  Because I was just like,
• 9:31
  I don't want to do that one.
• 9:33
  I want to do this one.
• 9:36
  Right.
• 9:37
  Yeah.
• 9:37
  So you'll just be entered in both.
• 9:39
  Okay.
• 9:42
  I don't know what the mush craze is.
• 9:43
  I know what it is.
• 9:45
  Vindicate was talking about,
• 9:46
  why is everybody talking about mush?
• 9:47
  It's crap ingredients.
• 9:50
  And I like the taste of mush.
• 9:52
  And it is a nice price at Costco.
• 9:55
  So that I'll say.
• 9:58
  Yeah.
• 9:58
  We're not sponsored by them,
• 10:00
  so I'm not talking about it.
• 10:01
  Yeah.
• 10:02
  Okay.
• 10:02
  I'm just giving information
• 10:03
  about what it is.
• 10:04
  And I appreciate that Pat
• 10:05
  Vellner shops at Costco
• 10:06
  because that is a fiscally
• 10:07
  responsible thing to do.
• 10:11
  Well, speaking of fiscal,
• 10:13
  we get to the top five in
• 10:15
  the open win money.
• 10:17
  We talked about it last week
• 10:18
  on the Thursday night show.
• 10:19
  Mm-hmm.
• 10:20
  $15,000 to the winner,
• 10:22
  more than if you win a semifinal,
• 10:25
  which boggles my mind to this very day.
• 10:29
  But $15,000, $10,000 for second.
• 10:29
  And then some iteration to
• 10:30
  get down to $5,000, I think, what is it?
• 10:32
  $7,000, $6,000, $5,000?
• 10:32
  Mm-hmm.
• 10:39
  I'm like that.
• 10:41
  So top five win money.
• 10:45
  And we're going to start with the men.
• 10:46
  But on the women's side,
• 10:47
  three of our friends of the
• 10:48
  show all won money.
• 10:51
  And we're super excited about that.
• 10:55
  So on the men's side,
• 10:58
  Yona Koski with the open win.
• 11:01
  How about that?
• 11:02
  I mean, talk about Mr. Consistency.
• 11:04
  Also,
• 11:05
  dude's been in the game for a long time.
• 11:08
  I know.
• 11:09
  We got to see him celebrate
• 11:10
  after the 2022 games.
• 11:11
  That's what I'm saying.
• 11:16
  And he was briefly on the
• 11:17
  podcast for a minute in that tweet.
• 11:20
  Yep.
• 11:22
  And that was super fun to experience.
• 11:25
  But what blew me away is his
• 11:27
  performance on 24.2, the rowing workout.
• 11:31
  He's not your big, tall athlete.
• 11:34
  And to be able to compete at that level,
• 11:38
  super awesome.
• 11:40
  Our buddy Saxon Pancheck takes second,
• 11:43
  former winner of the Open.
• 11:45
  Nice little 10 grand.
• 11:46
  When you got twins, man,
• 11:47
  every 10 grand counts.
• 11:49
  Yeah.
• 11:51
  Jay Crouch,
• 11:52
  the up-and-comer out of Australia,
• 11:55
  who is making a statement
• 11:58
  from last year's games on.
• 12:00
  Dude is just crushing it.
• 12:02
  He really is.
• 12:03
  Luka Vunjak.
• 12:06
  Not even sure who that is,
• 12:07
  to be honest with you.
• 12:08
  But congratulations, Luka.
• 12:10
  And then we finished with Noah Olsen.
• 12:15
  72-year-old Noah Olsen.
• 12:16
  Retired.
• 12:17
  Retired.
• 12:19
  Retired and going team still.
• 12:22
  Maybe he'll pull in Aaron Rodgers.
• 12:23
  Wins five grand.
• 12:27
  Pretty awesome.
• 12:28
  Corey's asking me to go to number nine.
• 12:31
  Brandon Luckett.
• 12:33
  Oh, one of the Southland group.
• 12:36
  Yeah.
• 12:38
  Whatever.
• 12:38
  Why can't I remember the name of it?
• 12:40
  Southland competitors.
• 12:41
  Yeah.
• 12:42
  Yeah.
• 12:43
  that kind of runs that group
• 12:44
  that Corey's in, Rudy Berger's in,
• 12:46
  Shelby Neal.
• 12:47
  Yeah, that's his coach, he says.
• 12:54
  So congratulations to those five.
• 12:57
  And then if we go to the women,
• 13:00
  I was actually shocked at
• 13:05
  number three because it
• 13:08
  came out of nowhere.
• 13:12
  So Grace Walton wins $15,000,
• 13:14
  consistent throughout the Open.
• 13:17
  Had a great Wadapalooza showing.
• 13:21
  Mirjam Von Roer,
• 13:22
  a first in the first workout,
• 13:24
  second in the last.
• 13:27
  So pretty good there.
• 13:29
  And Annika Greer with a
• 13:31
  third-place finish.
• 13:33
  Congratulations to our friend Annika.
• 13:37
  And then our friend Ariel
• 13:39
  Owen takes fourth place.
• 13:41
  And look at Carolyn.
• 13:42
  Carolyn Prevo.
• 13:43
  Yeah, girl.
• 13:44
  Lace finish.
• 13:46
  So a little behind the scenes.
• 13:48
  Carolyn texts me yesterday, like at noon.
• 13:51
  She goes,
• 13:52
  I got a shot to finish in the top five.
• 13:56
  So I'm not posting my score
• 13:57
  because I don't want anybody redoing.
• 14:00
  Yeah.
• 14:00
  To beat me.
• 14:01
  Yeah.
• 14:03
  And I said, well,
• 14:03
  that's pretty smart because
• 14:05
  five grand is five grand.
• 14:07
  And she said, it's not just five grand.
• 14:09
  It converts to Canadian
• 14:10
  money as 65 grand or not grand 6,500.
• 14:15
  Yeah.
• 14:16
  Yeah.
• 14:17
  I gotcha.
• 14:18
  And, uh, and she goes, I got a shot,
• 14:21
  but I just need people not to redo.
• 14:25
  And so she was waiting for
• 14:27
  those eight hours.
• 14:30
  as scores are posting to see,
• 14:31
  is she going to finish in
• 14:33
  the top five or not?
• 14:36
  And, uh,
• 14:37
  and I was waiting with bated
• 14:38
  breath to see if she got it.
• 14:40
  And then like eight, 10,
• 14:41
  I flipped over and saw she did it.
• 14:43
  She finished fifth, got 5,000 us dollars,
• 14:46
  6,500 Canadian dollars.
• 14:49
  That's so awesome.
• 14:51
  And so pumped for her.
• 14:53
  But it's, I mean, are the,
• 14:55
  the leaderboards finalized?
• 14:57
  Well, still video review.
• 14:58
  Okay.
• 14:59
  Okay.
• 14:59
  Okay.
• 15:00
  um but yeah no more scores
• 15:02
  can be submitted right yeah
• 15:04
  the only thing that would
• 15:05
  happen would be if her
• 15:08
  video wasn't accepted for
• 15:09
  some reason sure sure but I
• 15:11
  just mean overall like I
• 15:12
  wasn't saying wasn't
• 15:13
  worried necessarily about
• 15:14
  her her spot just saying
• 15:16
  there could still be some
• 15:17
  shifts here and there right
• 15:19
  yeah most likely the the
• 15:22
  only in my opinion
• 15:24
  carolyn's such a good mover
• 15:25
  the mo the only thing
• 15:26
  that's going to happen is her move up
• 15:28
  yeah I'm I'm thinking of it
• 15:30
  like I was looking at some
• 15:31
  of our maybe athletes who
• 15:32
  were like at 70 right at
• 15:35
  that 25 you know 75
• 15:37
  percentile is it possible
• 15:39
  that you know that they
• 15:40
  won't so yeah because I
• 15:43
  don't they're not going to
• 15:43
  video review down that far right yeah
• 15:47
  I don't even think they're
• 15:49
  video reviewing past five.
• 15:50
  They are in the open.
• 15:52
  They're just letting it
• 15:54
  stand the way it is.
• 15:55
  So I'm super stoked about this.
• 15:58
  I'm super stoked for Annika.
• 16:01
  What a good win for her.
• 16:03
  And with all she's been
• 16:05
  through in her career,
• 16:06
  she just needs a win.
• 16:08
  She does.
• 16:09
  Just needs a win or two to
• 16:11
  show that she can do it.
• 16:17
  Lex little inside in baseball.
• 16:20
  They asked for all three
• 16:21
  videos for the top people.
• 16:23
  Good.
• 16:23
  I'm glad that they do.
• 16:26
  So, yeah.
• 16:29
  So we'll wait.
• 16:30
  Hopefully if they're only
• 16:31
  doing the top five,
• 16:32
  they'll get a resolution
• 16:34
  pretty quick and we'll know
• 16:36
  that it's that her videos
• 16:37
  have been verified in the
• 16:39
  next day or two.
• 16:40
  That'd be pretty awesome.
• 16:42
  So great.
• 16:44
  So let's talk about the surprises.
• 16:50
  Actually, I know top five,
• 16:51
  but would assume at least
• 16:52
  top 10 since it's a lot of money.
• 16:56
  You know what happens when we assume?
• 17:00
  Just saying.
• 17:04
  So surprises.
• 17:05
  Anybody surprise you this year?
• 17:09
  With what we were talking about yesterday.
• 17:10
  Yeah.
• 17:12
  Okay.
• 17:12
  So you were going to the negative.
• 17:15
  Yeah.
• 17:16
  Yeah.
• 17:16
  Yeah.
• 17:18
  Okay.
• 17:18
  Not, not, not meaning negative.
• 17:21
  I'm just saying about those first.
• 17:24
  Yeah.
• 17:24
  So yesterday Lex helped me out.
• 17:27
  She gave me a heads up and
• 17:29
  saw that Tia had posted a
• 17:32
  score of seven rounds.
• 17:36
  I know she posted a video
• 17:37
  today supposedly about why
• 17:39
  I have not had a chance to see it yet.
• 17:43
  um I'm excited I'm excited
• 17:45
  to go look at it um and
• 17:47
  then I know then we noticed
• 17:49
  later in the day that
• 17:50
  brooke wells posted a score
• 17:53
  not doing any bar
• 17:54
  muscle-ups so I know I have
• 18:00
  it from a very good um lex
• 18:03
  says her name is actually
• 18:04
  scott sleuth yeah she's good at it too
• 18:10
  Um,
• 18:10
  I have it from a very good source that
• 18:13
  Brooke Wells suffered a shoulder injury.
• 18:17
  Don't know the severity of it.
• 18:18
  Don't know.
• 18:19
  I know there's 30 days
• 18:21
  between now and quarters
• 18:23
  for her to recover and feel better.
• 18:26
  I mean,
• 18:26
  the natural reaction was the elbow
• 18:28
  that she located at the
• 18:30
  games a couple of years ago.
• 18:31
  Um, but, uh,
• 18:39
  But she actually,
• 18:39
  I do have from a source
• 18:41
  that she had a shoulder injury,
• 18:43
  was just resting it,
• 18:45
  trying to get better for quarters.
• 18:47
  What was her tie break time?
• 18:51
  I don't know.
• 18:51
  Okay.
• 18:52
  I know Clea's was three minutes.
• 18:54
  Yes.
• 18:55
  Because that's what I find.
• 18:56
  That's the one that I'm
• 18:57
  finding so interesting.
• 19:00
  Here's a couple of things
• 19:01
  I'm going to add about it.
• 19:05
  Her tie break time was three minutes.
• 19:07
  She has a wrist injury.
• 19:10
  Even with a wrist injury that I get it.
• 19:12
  Some people are saying, well,
• 19:13
  maybe it was just the
• 19:14
  turnover of the muscle ups
• 19:15
  that that's why she did that.
• 19:17
  Or strategy wise,
• 19:18
  make sure maybe didn't need
• 19:19
  to do that much more.
• 19:21
  I get that.
• 19:22
  But it's after still a
• 19:24
  hundred reps using your wrists.
• 19:28
  That's still a lot of reps to,
• 19:30
  to be able to,
• 19:31
  to have an injured wrist
• 19:32
  and do that in three minutes.
• 19:34
  So, okay.
• 19:36
  Keep going.
• 19:36
  Yeah.
• 19:39
  She's injured her wrist by
• 19:40
  carrying the baby carrier around.
• 19:42
  Okay.
• 19:44
  The thing I just find
• 19:46
  suspicious about that is
• 19:49
  she's the six time fittest
• 19:51
  CrossFit athlete.
• 19:54
  There's a lot of moms out
• 19:56
  there who walk around, who aren't fit,
• 19:59
  who carry around a baby
• 20:00
  carrier and stroller and
• 20:03
  haven't had that kind of risk problems.
• 20:08
  So I'm just feeling
• 20:09
  suspicious that it's not
• 20:10
  really related to that.
• 20:11
  I think it's related to something else.
• 20:13
  That's all.
• 20:15
  So I'm not disputing that.
• 20:18
  I've had a lot of people
• 20:19
  text me or DM me that the
• 20:23
  injury is not from the baby
• 20:25
  carrier or whatever,
• 20:26
  that it's more than that.
• 20:28
  Right.
• 20:29
  But I have no confirmation on that.
• 20:31
  That is people speculating.
• 20:34
  What I do know is I got a DM
• 20:36
  from Carleen Matthews,
• 20:38
  who former games athlete,
• 20:40
  Masters podium winner,
• 20:42
  has a wrist injury very
• 20:44
  similar to what Tia has,
• 20:49
  according to her.
• 20:50
  And she said that workout
• 20:52
  killed her wrist.
• 20:55
  It was when the weight went
• 20:56
  up from 65 to 95,
• 20:58
  made all the difference in the world.
• 21:02
  She said her goal was only
• 21:03
  to do one round of the second part,
• 21:06
  but she was at Friday Night Lights,
• 21:09
  and the crowd pushed her to do more.
• 21:10
  Okay.
• 21:12
  And so she said that's
• 21:13
  really an advantage for someone like Tia,
• 21:15
  who isn't in that
• 21:17
  atmosphere doing the workout.
• 21:19
  But she said that front rack
• 21:22
  with 95 is about all she could stand.
• 21:26
  Okay.
• 21:27
  Okay.
• 21:28
  And that's just from someone
• 21:30
  who had a very, she says the same,
• 21:34
  the same injury.
• 21:36
  But, okay.
• 21:37
  But what is the injury though?
• 21:39
  She did not say.
• 21:40
  Okay.
• 21:43
  Yeah.
• 21:44
  When you're talking to athletes,
• 21:45
  you get as much as they're
• 21:48
  willing to give without
• 21:49
  getting in trouble.
• 21:50
  Yeah.
• 21:52
  They don't want to call out anybody else.
• 21:54
  She just said she's going
• 21:55
  through something very similar.
• 21:56
  Yeah, and I could be totally wrong.
• 21:58
  Maybe it totally is from that.
• 22:01
  It just surprises me.
• 22:03
  That's all.
• 22:04
  I get it.
• 22:04
  My babies are 21 and 18,
• 22:06
  so it's been a while since.
• 22:11
  I had this discussion with Lex yesterday.
• 22:13
  She can lift hundreds of pounds.
• 22:15
  CrossFit is so
• 22:16
  wrist-extensive with barbell
• 22:18
  and gymnastics.
• 22:19
  Mm-hmm.
• 22:20
  makes you, you know, the emoji.
• 22:23
  Yeah.
• 22:24
  That's what I'm saying.
• 22:26
  To do that in three minutes
• 22:27
  with a wrist injury is still wicked fast.
• 22:35
  Yeah.
• 22:36
  But maybe with 65 pounds,
• 22:37
  she doesn't have to rack it.
• 22:39
  She can just hold it.
• 22:40
  She can use the Charlie method.
• 22:42
  I mean, but you still have grip.
• 22:49
  I don't know.
• 22:51
  I mean,
• 22:51
  this is still your major joint that
• 22:53
  you're, I mean, like to do that,
• 22:56
  to do pull-ups on.
• 22:58
  Okay.
• 23:01
  Holly had the issue.
• 23:02
  Sounds like from baby related stuff.
• 23:05
  Um, and it was awful for a while,
• 23:07
  but obviously I'm not on Tia's level.
• 23:11
  Uh, what zombie?
• 23:12
  My wife had it,
• 23:13
  had to wear a wrist brace
• 23:14
  for a few months.
• 23:18
  so yeah and but tia did do
• 23:21
  two rounds of bar muscle
• 23:22
  ups and two rounds of the
• 23:23
  heavy thruster yeah brooke
• 23:25
  only did one round of the
• 23:26
  thruster and did not do um
• 23:32
  did not do any bar muscle
• 23:33
  ups now jamie has a
• 23:34
  shoulder injury too and she
• 23:36
  told me by the last round
• 23:38
  it felt like her shoulder
• 23:39
  was coming out of the socket
• 23:42
  on the bar muscle ups.
• 23:43
  Yeah.
• 23:44
  And she's nuts and she redid
• 23:46
  it and did it twice.
• 23:47
  So I'll tell you what I have never,
• 23:51
  I couldn't tell you the
• 23:53
  last time I was that sore.
• 23:57
  I mean, I I'm talking,
• 23:59
  I felt like I had never
• 24:00
  done a thruster a day in my
• 24:02
  life with as the painful as
• 24:04
  my quads felt.
• 24:07
  Yeah.
• 24:07
  I told you guys,
• 24:08
  I went into the gym and
• 24:10
  that's the workout of the day.
• 24:11
  Yeah.
• 24:12
  And I did it with an empty
• 24:14
  15 pound barbell and wanted to die,
• 24:17
  but I am in a very
• 24:17
  different spot right now.
• 24:19
  Yeah.
• 24:20
  And this,
• 24:21
  this is kind of what I want to say.
• 24:22
  Like I was a competitive athlete.
• 24:24
  I'm very competitive.
• 24:25
  A lot of things like I hate to lose.
• 24:29
  It's really hard for me to
• 24:30
  see a competitive athlete.
• 24:34
  Take the strategy decision
• 24:35
  to bag an event just to get
• 24:38
  on to the next round.
• 24:42
  And I understand from an
• 24:44
  intelligence standpoint,
• 24:45
  that's probably the way to go.
• 24:47
  For Tia?
• 24:49
  For Tia or Brooke if they're
• 24:50
  nursing an injury and to
• 24:51
  get better for quarters,
• 24:53
  which means more.
• 24:56
  But man,
• 24:57
  I played recreational flag
• 24:59
  football with it.
• 25:00
  My calf taped up so hard and
• 25:04
  you know,
• 25:04
  like I would play and maybe
• 25:06
  that's why I'm all banged
• 25:08
  up and beat up today.
• 25:09
  But well, how did Brooke Wells finish?
• 25:11
  What percentile?
• 25:12
  Uh, she would, she, she was fine.
• 25:16
  Okay.
• 25:17
  I mean, she fit like that workout.
• 25:18
  She finished 25,000,
• 25:21
  but that's even top 25
• 25:25
  because there's over a
• 25:26
  hundred thousand women, right?
• 25:27
  She's still finished in the
• 25:28
  95th percentile.
• 25:29
  Okay.
• 25:31
  Yeah.
• 25:31
  Yeah.
• 25:33
  Okay.
• 25:36
  So, yeah, that's just what I, I,
• 25:39
  I find it odd that people just don't,
• 25:43
  but I,
• 25:43
  I'd understand it from a strategic
• 25:45
  standpoint, but man,
• 25:47
  when you're as competitive as they are,
• 25:49
  I find it hard that you just say, yeah,
• 25:51
  no muss.
• 25:52
  Yeah.
• 25:53
  Yeah.
• 25:56
  All right.
• 25:57
  So anybody surprised you on the good side?
• 26:02
  Um, no real big surprises.
• 26:05
  I mean,
• 26:08
  Well, I've been on two athletes big time.
• 26:13
  Yeah.
• 26:16
  Because of how they did in
• 26:18
  workouts that they would
• 26:19
  normally not do well in,
• 26:21
  and that is Tudor Magda and
• 26:23
  Freya Mooseburger.
• 26:26
  Those are power output
• 26:27
  athletes that lift a lot of weights,
• 26:30
  and they crushed one in three.
• 26:35
  which were not power output movements.
• 26:38
  And I was really impressed
• 26:42
  with both of them on that.
• 26:43
  And then at the end of the day,
• 26:46
  Saxon's comeback.
• 26:48
  I mean, yeah.
• 26:50
  Really happy to see that and
• 26:52
  really pleasantly surprised.
• 26:54
  I mean, car Saunders still in the top 10.
• 26:56
  That's,
• 27:02
  Because she has that, like Kenna said,
• 27:05
  that dog in her, right?
• 27:06
  Yeah.
• 27:06
  Like, Kara is never going to not compete.
• 27:11
  I mean, she's had another baby, so.
• 27:14
  Right.
• 27:17
  Which is awesome.
• 27:18
  I mean,
• 27:18
  I'm just saying it's still so impressive.
• 27:21
  It is.
• 27:23
  And the last person to
• 27:24
  actually go toe-to-toe with
• 27:25
  Tia and give her a run.
• 27:27
  Mm-hmm.
• 27:30
  Okay, Dallin Peppers, top 16.
• 27:35
  Yeah, he did well in event one,
• 27:39
  which really surprised me.
• 27:42
  Did you see Charlie's Girl, Amy Kringle,
• 27:46
  11th?
• 27:47
  No.
• 27:49
  No, look at that.
• 27:52
  The other person I've been
• 27:53
  high on is Elena Buds,
• 27:55
  who had to sit out last
• 27:56
  year with a knee injury.
• 27:58
  She was a semifinal athlete before that.
• 28:00
  She finished the Open in 14th.
• 28:01
  Scott Tetlow, 39th.
• 28:05
  One and three were so good
• 28:07
  for the smaller lever athletes.
• 28:14
  I was surprised Colton
• 28:14
  didn't win the last event.
• 28:18
  Yeah.
• 28:19
  Yona beat him.
• 28:22
  I mean, the owner is a big surprise.
• 28:23
  Like, yeah, he's always around,
• 28:25
  but like winning has never
• 28:28
  been like his thing.
• 28:29
  Like he's a top 10 games athlete.
• 28:31
  He's like all these things, but man,
• 28:36
  winning the open was a surprise to me.
• 28:38
  Yeah.
• 28:40
  And nice coming out party
• 28:41
  for Grace Walton.
• 28:42
  Totally.
• 28:45
  Another Australian for you to follow.
• 28:46
  I know, you know, I like those.
• 28:51
  Yeah, I was thinking before the show,
• 28:52
  last week you did this with Charlie.
• 28:53
  Today you're doing it with me.
• 28:54
  We're just going to call it
• 28:56
  the Amy and a Dude show.
• 28:57
  I mean, but Amy is a dude.
• 29:01
  Next week with Con Porter.
• 29:02
  I'm in.
• 29:06
  Actually, I'm going on vacation.
• 29:10
  Spring break?
• 29:11
  Yeah.
• 29:11
  Although, I mean,
• 29:14
  we're taking a little trip.
• 29:15
  Just like a three-day going to a cabin.
• 29:18
  Going hiking.
• 29:19
  Nowhere far, so.
• 29:21
  Sometimes those are the best ones.
• 29:22
  That's really, that's all I wanted to do.
• 29:25
  Like just get a cabin and go
• 29:26
  hiking and who knows what
• 29:27
  the weather will be,
• 29:28
  but that's all right.
• 29:29
  I'll still do it.
• 29:35
  So Jeffrey Birchfield says,
• 29:37
  I wish we could have had a
• 29:38
  five rep max complex to show strength.
• 29:41
  See,
• 29:41
  I think all that's going to come out
• 29:42
  at quarterfinals.
• 29:45
  But 75% of the community
• 29:46
  doesn't get to do it.
• 29:47
  I agree.
• 29:48
  I I'm with you.
• 29:51
  But when you have a three-week open,
• 29:54
  it's tough because then
• 29:57
  you're overloading the strength portion.
• 29:59
  Yeah.
• 30:00
  Like I just was thinking about like,
• 30:01
  I mean,
• 30:03
  it's only a three week test of fitness.
• 30:04
  Right.
• 30:05
  But there's like, there's no ball balls.
• 30:07
  There's I mean, just like,
• 30:12
  I don't know what, no toes to bar.
• 30:14
  I mean,
• 30:15
  just other stuff that you're kind
• 30:16
  of used to seeing in there that we didn't,
• 30:19
  we didn't get no handstand pushups.
• 30:24
  Yeah.
• 30:25
  So.
• 30:26
  Well,
• 30:29
  I know that we have to
• 30:32
  shorten up the show today
• 30:32
  because you have to head out,
• 30:33
  but I got to finish with this question.
• 30:37
  Okay.
• 30:39
  Will Amy Radowski get her
• 30:41
  first ring muscle up in quarterfinals?
• 30:47
  When is quarterfinals?
• 30:49
  30 days.
• 30:50
  Oh, okay.
• 30:51
  Let's make that my goal.
• 30:56
  it would be so cool to
• 30:58
  announce on this show.
• 30:59
  It would, wouldn't it?
• 31:01
  That Amy Rudowsky got her first.
• 31:03
  You guys like the video that
• 31:06
  I'm going to make when this happens,
• 31:09
  it's going to be, I mean,
• 31:10
  I'm going to need three
• 31:11
  days of three hours of
• 31:12
  reels just to make with all
• 31:14
  the footage I have, but I,
• 31:17
  I like that goal.
• 31:19
  Okay.
• 31:22
  We'll put a GoPro on your head.
• 31:24
  Yep.
• 31:30
  April 17th, they release.
• 31:31
  Is that when the workouts are?
• 31:33
  Yeah.
• 31:33
  Okay, good.
• 31:34
  Because I got to perform a
• 31:35
  wedding on the 27th.
• 31:38
  Well,
• 31:39
  you'll get to do it on a high because
• 31:40
  you'll have gotten your
• 31:41
  first bar muscle up or ring muscle up.
• 31:43
  Or I'll be like in a sling because I did.
• 31:52
  That's also Corey's birthday.
• 31:54
  Okay.
• 31:54
  Okay.
• 31:58
  Jeffrey Birchfield says dubs
• 31:59
  and pull-ups are my focus
• 32:00
  for the next year.
• 32:01
  Let's do it, Jeff.
• 32:02
  You and me both, buddy.
• 32:07
  And Holly is encouraging you.
• 32:09
  Thank you.
• 32:10
  I can't wait.
• 32:11
  I'm going to text my coach
• 32:12
  and tell him we got 30 days.
• 32:15
  Yeah.
• 32:16
  So last year, like...
• 32:19
  so they've said that
• 32:20
  quarterfinals are going to
• 32:21
  be more approachable this
• 32:22
  year where at least you'll
• 32:23
  be able to start them all.
• 32:25
  Yeah.
• 32:26
  Give you more confidence
• 32:27
  going into this year.
• 32:28
  Cause I know last year,
• 32:29
  like it's some of the
• 32:31
  events started off tough
• 32:34
  and people just had to post a zero.
• 32:38
  I was able to post something
• 32:39
  for every score,
• 32:39
  but the like wall facing
• 32:40
  handstand pushups were just
• 32:42
  a different thing.
• 32:44
  Um,
• 32:46
  Yeah.
• 32:48
  But I always feel less
• 32:49
  stress for the
• 32:49
  quarterfinals because my goal typically,
• 32:51
  you know,
• 32:52
  I know we talked this year that
• 32:53
  my focus this year was different.
• 32:55
  But if I did make it, then, you know,
• 32:58
  I will, I'll continue.
• 33:00
  But I don't even remember
• 33:03
  what I was saying.
• 33:06
  Yeah.
• 33:08
  Because your goal has
• 33:08
  already been achieved.
• 33:09
  Oh yeah.
• 33:10
  Yeah.
• 33:10
  So I'm less nervous.
• 33:11
  Yeah.
• 33:12
  Because I'm, yeah,
• 33:13
  that's all I was going for.
• 33:15
  So in Masters, top 200 go.
• 33:17
  You don't think you can get top 200?
• 33:19
  I don't.
• 33:22
  Okay.
• 33:23
  We'll see.
• 33:24
  Maybe if I can get ring muscle-ups.
• 33:27
  Corey says, Amy,
• 33:28
  if my uncoordinated ass can
• 33:30
  get ring muscle-ups, you surely can.
• 33:33
  I guess I'm going to stop
• 33:33
  thinking about it because
• 33:35
  then I'll do better.
• 33:36
  So, Corey,
• 33:37
  and this is my editorial comment.
• 33:38
  Amy can get a ring muscle-up.
• 33:41
  She can.
• 33:42
  She has every ability to do it.
• 33:43
  Just has not happened yet.
• 33:45
  She just has the confidence,
• 33:46
  has to get the confidence
• 33:48
  in her own ability to trust
• 33:51
  herself to throw her body
• 33:52
  forward at the top.
• 33:53
  I need to undulate my hips forward.
• 33:57
  That's it.
• 33:58
  Yeah.
• 33:59
  She has all the aspects of it.
• 34:01
  She has a good pool.
• 34:03
  She has a good dip.
• 34:04
  She has all that stuff.
• 34:05
  She just needs the
• 34:06
  confidence to throw her
• 34:07
  head through at the top so
• 34:09
  that she can get in that position.
• 34:12
  I'm working on it, guys.
• 34:14
  I'm working on it.
• 34:16
  Thanks, everybody.
• 34:17
  Seriously.
• 34:19
  The body will follow.
• 34:21
  And Lana Marcin, let's go, Amy.
• 34:22
  You can do it.
• 34:23
  Okay.
• 34:23
  There will be a whole
• 34:25
  episode focused on this.
• 34:28
  I'll go through all of my
• 34:29
  10-year steps of how to get one.
• 34:36
  Yeah.
• 34:36
  The 10-year journey for One
• 34:39
  Ring Must Love.
• 34:42
  One woman's journey.
• 34:45
  a one-woman show now and
• 34:46
  then I'll retire from
• 34:47
  crossfit remember how I was
• 34:50
  like if I can get under if
• 34:52
  I can get under a four-hour
• 34:54
  marathon I will retire from
• 34:56
  running marathons and I
• 34:57
  haven't run one since so
• 35:00
  let's see there you go I'm
• 35:02
  just kidding I won't retire
• 35:03
  from crossfit I know I need
• 35:04
  to go see another red shirt
• 35:07
  I'll call up help from justin kotler
• 35:10
  I know.
• 35:10
  I feel like if you were to
• 35:16
  see me in the flesh,
• 35:19
  coach me in the flesh,
• 35:20
  I think it would be done by now.
• 35:23
  The Pancheck Brothers?
• 35:24
  That was a very long time ago.
• 35:27
  Well, it's been a 10-year journey.
• 35:31
  I'll pay tribute to all of them.
• 35:32
  All right.
• 35:35
  I'm going to have to log out of here.
• 35:37
  Yeah, well, with that,
• 35:37
  we'll let everybody out of here.
• 35:39
  We'll catch everybody next
• 35:40
  week on the Clydesdale Media Roundtable.
• 35:43
  Bye, guys.
