Day 1 Wrap up at the Games - Tia Just Keeps on Rolling! · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:12
We can't hear you.
0:38
What's going on, everybody?
0:41
Welcome to,
0:43
I don't know what we're calling
0:44
this thing.
0:44
We're wrapping up live from
0:46
the CrossFit Games.
0:48
We have a special guest in the house.
0:49
Allison Scuds is with us.
0:54
And she's going to hang out
0:56
with us for the next little
0:57
bit to wrap up today's events.
1:01
Super excited about that.
1:04
But yeah, what a crazy, crazy day.
1:07
crazy day ally you you just
1:10
got here like yesterday yep
1:16
I got in last night man
1:18
this morning was insane we
1:21
were given instructions
1:22
yesterday we went to get
1:23
credentials and we were
1:25
given instructions and we
1:28
weren't allowed to see
1:28
anything so they had like a
1:30
picture of stuff
1:32
and said, you're going to go here,
1:33
and you're going to go there.
1:36
Couldn't find any of it this morning.
1:37
Oh, no.
1:40
Couldn't find any of it.
1:43
Finally found... Whenever
1:44
they move the games,
1:44
it's like relearning the lay of the land,
1:45
right?
1:45
Like,
1:45
it's going to take everybody a couple
1:46
days to finally, like, get it.
1:54
Yeah,
1:54
it's... And the media room and the
1:56
athlete area is in a
1:58
separate building from the arena, right?
2:02
So you have to walk a block
2:06
and a half away or
2:10
something like that to get
2:11
to the athlete area and the press area.
2:16
And we finally found it this morning,
2:19
finally got in.
2:22
And then like, I didn't know what,
2:24
I know what enhanced access means,
2:25
but I didn't know how to get it,
2:28
get to it.
2:29
And by the time I figured it out today,
2:31
like the day was almost over.
2:32
Oh, so I'm ready for tomorrow.
2:35
Yeah.
2:36
I'm ready for tomorrow, but tonight.
2:38
Yeah.
2:41
So there's already a bunch
2:42
of stuff in the chat.
2:44
Um, the first thing I wanted to throw out,
2:48
did you guys see the open
2:49
and out the open dates are
2:50
already announced?
2:51
I did.
2:51
No, I missed that end of February.
2:58
which is what it always is.
2:59
That's not the surprise, right?
3:03
The surprise is, there's a pending sale.
3:07
And yet they announced the
3:08
open announcement.
3:09
Yes.
3:14
Yeah.
3:14
So is there more
3:17
synchronicity with the new owners?
3:21
And what is there?
3:25
that we can actually
3:26
announce a date like that?
3:30
You got to think, right?
3:32
The open is not going away.
3:33
That's always a good sign.
3:37
But we've never had it
3:38
announced this early.
3:41
That's true.
3:45
I just, I found that bizarre.
3:47
It's just one of those
3:48
things that make you say, hmm.
3:51
Well,
3:51
maybe this group and team of people
3:55
they put together is going
3:56
to get timing right and
4:01
communication right.
4:05
Yeah.
4:05
Do you see, Scott,
4:06
do you see that in any
4:08
world being not a positive
4:10
thing that they've
4:11
announced it so early or
4:12
you're just comfortable?
4:15
think it's a good thing they
4:16
announced it early and I
4:18
hope it foretells that the
4:19
new ownership is a move in
4:22
the right direction I agree
4:23
yeah that's what jimmy says
4:25
it's like those are some
4:26
pain points you know that
4:26
we've all heard over the
4:27
years and it's like okay
4:28
they're they're kind of
4:28
like setting a good foot
4:29
before they even officially
4:29
put their foot in so
4:38
Yeah, so cool, wow, love Scuds.
4:42
Fergie, Allison, my aim is true.
4:53
George Wang with the jokes.
4:55
They had to announce the
4:55
open dates before WFP
4:57
announced their dates.
5:00
I mean,
5:02
it's better to get those dates out
5:03
there so there isn't overlap.
5:07
and you claim the dates you
5:08
want yeah there are rumors
5:11
that wfp has announced
5:12
their tour stop one it's in
5:13
spain and it's two weeks
5:15
after the open geez after
5:17
the last week of the open
5:18
I'm assuming correct okay
5:24
which that's a rumor I
5:26
don't have confirmation I
5:28
saw it from spin somewhere
5:31
so I don't know how much to
5:33
how much stock to fully put in that yet
5:37
But I just thought that was
5:38
something that made you say, hmm.
5:40
Agreed.
5:43
Before we get into too much, another thing,
5:45
I'm uploading a reel right
5:46
now with Phil Muscarella
5:48
from CrossFit Invictus,
5:50
and he's the captain of
5:51
that team this year.
5:53
And he made the comment in a
5:55
vignette I made that's
5:56
actually for members only
5:58
up on YouTube right now.
5:59
But I clipped this little piece and I,
6:03
I it's taking forever to
6:05
upload onto Instagram.
6:08
So maybe I'll,
6:10
let me see if I can play it over this.
6:21
Sure.
6:28
No, it's not going to work.
6:29
Maybe it will.
6:31
Hold on.
6:31
Got to try another thing.
6:38
I've seen two comments about the crowd.
6:40
How was the crowd there?
6:41
Did you guys feel like it was lacking?
6:44
Yes.
6:46
Yeah, it was definitely pretty thin today.
6:50
But it is Friday.
6:52
Yeah.
6:54
That's what I was thinking.
6:54
Hopefully it fills out a
6:55
little bit Saturday and Sunday,
6:58
but I also just bought my
7:00
tickets last night.
7:03
So, and there was a lot left.
7:05
Yeah.
7:07
Yeah,
7:08
I could only see the stands maybe
7:10
once or twice,
7:10
and they didn't look super full,
7:12
but I also didn't know what
7:14
area it was necessarily.
7:16
Of course,
7:16
it looks pretty busy behind the
7:19
finish line, but sides,
7:21
when you could see the sides,
7:23
it did look a little lacking.
7:24
The sides are full.
7:25
The finish line...
7:27
lines full the the corners
7:29
are not and hopefully that
7:31
and there are some that are
7:32
like reserved for media and
7:34
maybe they didn't use up as
7:35
much as they thought even
7:37
the sides up top are fairly
7:39
full okay um and it's it's
7:43
supposedly a bigger arena
7:45
than any than fort worth
7:46
right right really it is
7:49
it's more than fort worth
7:50
and bigger than the madison
7:54
I believe yes yeah wow
7:57
felt small to me being in
7:59
there today at least and I
8:00
was just trying to like
8:02
imagine what last year and
8:03
the year before it felt
8:04
like and yeah if I would
8:06
have guessed I would have
8:07
said it was a smaller arena
8:08
so that's interesting maybe
8:10
maybe because it wasn't
8:11
totally passed out yet that
8:13
was that was why he did say
8:16
that was with like the top
8:18
upper bowl and I have a
8:19
feeling that's probably not
8:20
really going to get seated
8:21
so like the yeah
8:23
They had some of it covered
8:26
up with big sponsor flags, too,
8:26
I was noticing.
8:27
So those sections, they don't even exist,
8:28
though.
8:28
Yeah.
8:33
Yeah.
8:36
I'm trying to up Allison's mic volume.
8:39
Hopefully that works.
8:40
I see some stuff in here.
8:42
But I've got the Muscarella thing up.
8:46
We'll hit that,
8:46
and then we'll go back to attendance.
8:49
And that is...
8:57
right here what are you
9:02
looking forward to most
9:02
rest of the weekend I'm
9:04
just trying to enjoy it you
9:05
know like there's a lot of
9:06
friends and people that
9:08
aren't here this year that
9:09
are perennials across the
9:10
games athletes and like
9:11
talking with them and
9:12
they're like yeah even
9:13
though it was our choice
9:14
not to compete this year
9:15
like they still feel like
9:16
you know they're missing
9:18
something so I'm not taking
9:20
anything for granted I'm
9:21
just trying to enjoy the moment
9:33
So, did you pick on that,
9:35
that perennial games
9:36
athletes who chose not to
9:38
compete this season are
9:40
saying they're feeling like
9:41
they missed something?
9:46
Yeah.
9:46
So,
9:50
I just labeled this things that make
9:51
you go, hmm.
9:55
I mean...
9:57
Do you think it's the
9:59
coverage that they're seeing,
10:01
the kit that they got?
10:03
Is there anything, like,
10:03
in specific you think
10:04
people are seeing come out
10:07
that they're like, man,
10:07
I wish I was there?
10:12
I think it's,
10:13
if you've been listening to
10:14
me for the last few weeks,
10:16
I think it's a little bit of everything.
10:17
I think that the WFP has
10:19
made some promises they haven't kept.
10:22
I think that people...
10:27
that they thought were the
10:28
devil are coming off as
10:29
better than that over the last few weeks.
10:32
And it's probably they see
10:34
their friends out there
10:35
competing and having a good
10:36
time and they don't get to take part.
10:41
yeah yeah it's just like the
10:42
experience and I think the
10:44
crossfit games is always
10:45
like the excuse me it's
10:48
always like the christmas
10:49
like time of the year you
10:51
know it's like when you get
10:52
to see everybody and
10:54
especially if you're
10:55
competing as an athlete
10:56
like it's just such a
10:58
unique experience and so to
11:00
play devil's advocate a
11:01
little bit to that like I
11:03
think even if you were an athlete who
11:06
did make the choice like
11:08
even if you were still like
11:10
felt good about that
11:11
decision of not competing I
11:12
think no matter what you
11:14
could you're still gonna
11:15
feel that way you know
11:16
because it's feelings
11:18
aren't black and white
11:19
right so they might have
11:20
made the decision for you
11:22
know these reasons over
11:23
here but then these reasons
11:24
that are kind of like
11:26
separate from those are are
11:29
what they're missing out on
11:30
you know being with their friends and
11:33
having the experience with
11:34
the fans and just the
11:35
community and the competition.
11:41
Yeah.
11:42
I think being field of
11:44
thirty puts eyes on the
11:47
athletes a little more.
11:49
And so if you're sitting out, you're like,
11:50
man,
11:50
it would have been a good year to be
11:52
there.
11:53
These people aren't getting coverage.
11:54
I think the colors of the
11:55
uniform are back to some,
11:56
there's some color and they
11:57
look good on screen.
11:58
Yeah, I'm sure there's a host of reasons.
12:06
So I just clipped that
12:07
thought that was interesting.
12:09
Wanted to put that there.
12:10
The full vignette is on
12:11
YouTube right now as a members only.
12:13
It'll switch to all access tomorrow.
12:18
I have two more vignettes to
12:19
get out tonight.
12:21
So look for those.
12:23
And again,
12:24
those will flip over to full
12:27
access to twenty four hours later.
12:35
majority of them are staying
12:36
in my hotel and you can
12:37
tell this is their super
12:38
bowl to them so focused
12:40
yeah that is one thing I've
12:43
learned with enhanced
12:43
access when in semi-finals
12:48
when I could get interviews
12:49
pretty easily it's a
12:51
different game at the games
12:53
um warm-ups you just kind
12:56
of stand back and let them
12:57
do their thing and you
13:00
really your best hope is cool down time
13:07
And so that's,
13:08
I'm going to change up my
13:09
strategy tomorrow and
13:10
hopefully have some better
13:11
success with that.
13:14
Yeah, I think, I mean,
13:18
from years past being there
13:20
and like being there with
13:21
Jim in the back with warmup in,
13:23
I feel like in the past,
13:25
nobody was in the allowed in
13:26
the warmup area.
13:27
I know the, like the last two years,
13:29
they kind of opened that up
13:31
to Savan's group and some extra,
13:33
but the athletes I think
13:35
have become accustomed to
13:37
being able to warm up
13:38
without interruption.
13:40
And I mean, you kind of,
13:43
you just need that time to
13:44
focus on the event.
13:45
You, that is,
13:46
you don't want outside noise.
13:50
Yep.
13:50
Yeah.
13:51
I was like,
13:53
As an athlete, you're,
13:54
you're even planning it
13:55
down to like the minute.
13:56
So like,
13:57
I'm like arriving at the venue at
13:59
exactly the time I need to be there.
14:00
Cause I, you know, recovering outside.
14:03
So it's like the minute I get there,
14:05
minute zero to five, I'm on the bike,
14:06
minute five to seven, I'm doing this,
14:08
you know, mobility and whatnot.
14:11
And so it's easy,
14:12
like to get pulled out of
14:14
that and then feel like
14:15
you're kind of missing a piece of that.
14:18
Um,
14:18
so I definitely can understand that
14:20
from the athlete perspective.
14:22
Yeah.
14:26
Fergie, run, row, run.
14:30
Would Jamie rather chaperone
14:31
a Taylor Swift sing-along party or do run,
14:33
row, run for twenty-four hours?
14:36
The latter.
14:38
So, Allie, you did run, row, run, right?
14:40
You did the spectator version?
14:41
I did.
14:42
I did.
14:43
Yeah,
14:43
they had the full version that you
14:45
could do.
14:46
And I was actually planning
14:47
on doing the full version,
14:48
but with how the timing of
14:50
the heats and everything worked out,
14:51
I had to quickly get back
14:53
to watch Raf's second heat.
14:57
So I did like the scaled version,
14:58
which was still really hard.
15:00
It was a three mile run, two K row,
15:03
one mile run.
15:06
And it was super fun.
15:07
It was like really,
15:08
the weather here is amazing
15:10
compared to Vegas.
15:11
Like it's super hot and dry
15:13
in Vegas right now.
15:14
So I've been running a lot,
15:15
but I've kind of been,
15:16
had to like get up super early.
15:19
And even at like eight AM,
15:20
it's still ninety degrees in Vegas.
15:22
So it was like,
15:23
beautiful weather for
15:24
running and it was fun to
15:25
get to do like a little
15:27
berm run and just be with the community.
15:29
There was probably like
15:30
fifteen or twenty people in
15:31
my heat and we were the
15:32
first one of the event and
15:36
got to try out the echo
15:37
rower for the first time.
15:38
That was quite the experience.
15:41
I definitely felt,
15:43
and I don't know if this
15:43
was just the workout or if
15:45
it was the echo rower itself,
15:46
but my back felt like it
15:48
got so filled up.
15:51
It definitely had the same
15:52
feel of the rower,
15:53
but about a thousand feet in, I was like,
15:56
wow, my back is pumped right now.
15:58
So that was kind of interesting.
16:02
And yeah,
16:03
just to do those little course
16:04
along the river there, it was awesome.
16:08
The course looked awesome.
16:09
The weather looked,
16:10
it's actually really nice
16:11
here in Michigan too.
16:12
Like it would be similar.
16:13
I, when I saw her, the temperature there,
16:17
I was like, oh,
16:18
it's going to be such a
16:18
good day for this.
16:19
Yeah.
16:19
Yeah.
16:20
Especially the,
16:21
like when the individuals went,
16:22
it was a little earlier due
16:23
to cooler and like even better.
16:24
So yeah, they had that.
16:25
That was, that was a great event.
16:26
And three, two, one.
16:27
Yeah.
16:32
Yeah.
16:35
Denise, it was perfect weather today.
16:37
Just to walk around.
16:39
When I got there this morning,
16:41
the outside vendor village
16:42
was pretty packed.
16:44
And they were hitting that
16:47
more than the inside version.
16:50
And then that switched.
16:52
But one thing before we get
16:53
into the events,
16:55
CrossFit has their store open up.
16:57
And, you know,
16:58
we talked a couple weeks ago
16:59
that their designs hadn't changed.
17:01
And if they brought Pukie back,
17:03
it would be a big seller.
17:04
And
17:06
All of that happened.
17:07
No way.
17:09
All of it.
17:10
Pukey is back on a shirt.
17:14
They've done new designs for
17:15
all the CrossFit stuff.
17:18
It was like people are
17:20
buying that stuff up fast.
17:23
Interesting.
17:24
I'm going to have to go to
17:25
the store and see what they got.
17:25
That's awesome.
17:26
The weather definitely makes
17:26
you miss having some more outdoor events.
17:30
It's a shame that
17:34
They're all, like,
17:39
indoors for the rest of the weekend.
17:42
It is.
17:45
Did they bring Forging Elite Fitness back?
17:47
They did.
17:49
Amanda Hari,
17:50
my good best friend in the media space,
17:53
bought a Yeti mug that says
17:55
Forging Elite Fitness.
17:56
Nice.
18:00
So, yeah, it's all back.
18:03
All the old sayings, all the old pukey.
18:09
All of this stuff kind of
18:10
adding up is like,
18:12
I think this sale is going
18:15
to be a good thing.
18:15
Did they bring the unfuck
18:16
with the bull back?
18:23
I had a shirt back in the
18:24
day that said that.
18:24
I didn't see that,
18:25
but I wouldn't doubt it.
18:30
So, um, yeah.
18:32
Yeah.
18:36
Maybe I'll shoot up there and,
18:38
and get some footage of the
18:39
new stuff and put it into a real, um,
18:47
unbuyable.
18:52
Yeah.
18:52
I like the unbuyable.
18:53
Um, so the events, um,
18:55
um I saw that larry young
18:56
said like the experiences
18:58
went above his expectations
19:01
in every aspect um and I
19:04
think I saw him and his
19:05
wife in the stands but I
19:07
was nowhere near them to
19:09
like go be able to get over
19:10
to say hi and for us to get
19:12
to the pit we have to be
19:14
escorted in oh no so you
19:17
have to go to like a
19:18
meet-up area get a security
19:20
guard takes you to the pit
19:23
then you have to be escorted
19:24
back out of there so you
19:27
there's not a lot you can
19:28
like move around and do
19:30
it's like straight to the
19:30
pit straight out um so
19:37
anyway the events we had
19:39
the run row run this
19:40
morning ali just described
19:42
it it was a beautiful day for it they
19:46
two days ago was ninety five degrees here,
19:48
one hundred percent humidity,
19:50
and it broke with a major
19:52
rainstorm yesterday and
19:55
opened up to a beautiful day today.
19:58
I don't think we saw it for
19:59
the when the individuals were going.
20:02
Yeah, it's like fifty eight to sixty two,
20:05
something like that.
20:06
I don't think we saw
20:07
anything surprising in that event.
20:13
For me,
20:15
I was disappointed in James' finish.
20:18
I thought he'd be higher.
20:20
Didn't he take?
20:21
Like, tenth.
20:24
Really?
20:25
Yeah, it wasn't exceptional.
20:28
Like, I figured he'd be top four.
20:31
Seventh.
20:32
I figured he'd be top four.
20:33
Okay.
20:36
Okay.
20:38
Uh, Hatfield surprised me.
20:40
I didn't,
20:40
I did not expect him to be fourth
20:42
or whatever he was.
20:43
Yeah.
20:45
Like I would have thought
20:46
Hatfield and James would have switched.
20:48
I was surprised Ricky was behind Roman.
20:52
Yeah.
20:52
I was,
20:52
I was going to say Roman surprised
20:53
me a bit.
20:54
Cause I just like thinking
20:55
about that event,
20:56
I was like Jeff and Ricky,
20:58
like nobody can hold
21:00
anything for their runs.
21:02
Um, so yeah,
21:03
that was that Roman did
21:04
surprise me a little bit, but yeah.
21:06
it's just so good yeah a lot
21:09
of people agreeing on the
21:10
the james thing I think I
21:14
picked james as like a flex
21:16
pick I think I picked jeff
21:17
and then james flex so I
21:19
just I'd expect it to be
21:19
higher than he was seventh
21:21
was a bit of a surprise to
21:22
me yeah I picked tia haley
21:28
and ricky okay I didn't do
21:31
well at all because I only
21:33
got one right answer yeah
21:37
I think Ricky's points will
21:38
get you pretty good.
21:39
Like I think you probably
21:40
found wound up better than me,
21:42
even though I picked the
21:43
two winners because I have
21:44
somebody who got seventh as my flex.
21:45
Yeah.
21:47
I had third, first, fourth.
21:56
I didn't,
21:57
I didn't really expect her to get second.
21:59
I, I know she's very good,
22:01
but I don't know.
22:03
I don't know who I thought
22:03
would be second.
22:04
I don't know if I thought it'd be Haley,
22:06
but
22:07
Yeah.
22:07
Amy, Amy crushed that row.
22:09
I think it was something
22:10
considered as like, you know,
22:13
as a CrossFit athlete,
22:15
you're kind of constantly
22:16
playing whack-a-mole, right?
22:17
Like your strength,
22:20
you can get stronger and
22:21
more enduring at the same time, but
22:24
when you're really diving in on one,
22:26
some of those are gonna take a hit.
22:27
And so when I think of
22:28
athletes like Haley and James,
22:30
like they do have some
22:31
pretty big weaknesses and
22:33
because their running is so strong,
22:35
they can afford to like,
22:36
let that training, you know,
22:38
quote unquote slip a little
22:40
bit and still get a fourth
22:41
or seventh or whatever,
22:43
but then make massive
22:44
improvements on bigger
22:46
weaknesses that are gonna like take them,
22:48
you know, lower in the path.
22:50
Absolutely.
22:51
Yeah.
22:51
I,
22:56
On the women's side,
22:57
I don't think there really
22:58
was much shocking.
23:01
I mean, I'm following Hattie this weekend.
23:04
They expected to be higher
23:05
than this because she's a better runner.
23:08
Yeah.
23:08
What you'll see in the
23:10
behind the scenes is she
23:13
hit every one of her training paces,
23:17
and she just didn't compete.
23:20
You know what I mean?
23:21
Like she was so stuck on the
23:22
pace that she didn't.
23:25
pay attention around her to
23:26
see if she could push it to,
23:29
does that make sense?
23:30
Absolutely.
23:31
Yep.
23:31
Yeah.
23:32
It's definitely a slippery slope.
23:34
Cause like you can get,
23:36
definitely get caught up in
23:37
the race with it and the
23:39
adrenaline of the first event.
23:41
And like, it's very exciting.
23:43
And then you just could tank on that.
23:46
And also like you,
23:50
Oftentimes when you
23:51
perfectly pace a workout,
23:53
you kind of feel like maybe
23:55
I could have pushed it a little better,
23:56
you know?
23:56
Yes.
23:57
Um, so it's, it's always a fine line,
23:59
but I definitely get that,
24:01
that feeling of like, ah,
24:02
like I should have competed and like,
24:04
you know, kind of pay attention,
24:06
but all it takes is to do
24:08
that once and you blow up
24:10
and then you're like, oh,
24:11
I should have stuck to my paces,
24:12
you know?
24:13
Right.
24:14
You're always balancing that for sure.
24:18
Yeah.
24:19
So.
24:21
Tia wins, Jeff wins.
24:23
I think most people figured
24:24
that to be the case.
24:26
But Amy Kringle did row her
24:28
ass off and almost got Tia on the row.
24:31
And then it just kind of fell off.
24:33
Yeah, that was cool for a second.
24:36
We go to all crossed up.
24:38
And on the men's side,
24:39
I think the early big story
24:43
was Colton Mertens breaking
24:45
his rope in the first round
24:47
of crossover double-unders.
24:49
Tragic.
24:50
This is when I was running my event,
24:52
so I actually missed that.
24:54
And he still took third in the heat.
24:55
What did he do?
24:58
He actually was given just
25:00
like a blank rope.
25:01
It was not his.
25:04
I think Belites gave him just a rope,
25:07
and then he had to figure it out.
25:10
But his style or whatever
25:16
was very different before and after.
25:19
Yes.
25:20
That's right.
25:22
So, like,
25:22
not only did he lose the forty
25:24
five seconds that it took
25:25
him to get a rope,
25:26
I think for one that like a
25:28
little bit got in his head.
25:29
But then I feel like the
25:30
jump was different because
25:32
he tripped a few times.
25:34
So, I mean,
25:35
I feel like he lost more than
25:36
more than a minute easily.
25:38
Yeah, for sure.
25:39
That's that's definitely
25:40
like a big hiccup.
25:41
But it speaks to his, you know,
25:44
athletic abilities to be able to be like,
25:46
all right, what rope am I doing?
25:47
OK, it doesn't matter.
25:48
Like, it's not ideal, but getting it done.
26:04
The other thing they were
26:05
talking about on the
26:05
broadcast was that you
26:07
should take two ropes.
26:13
That is true.
26:15
That was going to be my second point.
26:16
Allie, when you're at semifinals,
26:17
do they allow you to take
26:18
two ropes to the floor?
26:20
Yeah, at least in my experience,
26:25
they have.
26:28
Yeah.
26:31
Because I'm not an athlete.
26:32
I'm bringing the two of us.
26:32
Athlete.
26:32
I have not ever done that.
26:36
Yeah,
26:36
I think we all learned a lesson today
26:38
that if you're competing, take two.
26:44
Did you test this one, Allie?
26:46
Yeah, I did.
26:49
It was super fun.
26:51
And I think they did it exactly the same.
26:53
The only change that they made, I believe,
26:55
from,
26:56
because they don't like tell me what they,
26:58
you know, end up finalizing or whatever,
27:00
but they were going to be
27:02
very strict about the dumbbell,
27:05
using your other hand on the dumbbell.
27:06
And that was a big change this year.
27:09
Because in the past,
27:10
they allowed you to use
27:11
your other hand to kind of
27:12
like restable it.
27:13
And then as long as you let go, you're,
27:16
you're good to go.
27:18
But I believe the rule that
27:19
they were going to do this
27:20
year was that once it leaves the floor,
27:23
if your other hand touches
27:24
it has to go back to the floor.
27:26
So like, if you're mid rep,
27:29
then that's a no rep.
27:30
But if you finish the rep,
27:31
and you stabilize it here,
27:32
you have to put it back down.
27:36
So that is definitely, like I said,
27:38
I missed this event because
27:39
this was when I was running,
27:40
but I could see how that
27:41
would play a big factor,
27:43
especially those last ten reps.
27:45
I remember I was trying to
27:46
get kind of unbroken,
27:49
and I kind of had a wobble,
27:50
and had I been able to just
27:52
stabilize it and reset,
27:53
I could have got a couple
27:55
more on that same arm,
27:57
but I had to switch.
27:59
Quite a few people had to
28:01
break that final set.
28:03
Yeah.
28:05
I mean, even Tia was slow.
28:09
Like,
28:09
Danielle almost caught her on the
28:11
last... Literally, like, the last rep.
28:13
Like, Danielle was able to cycle it.
28:15
Well,
28:16
Danielle was ahead of her for most of
28:17
that race.
28:18
Yeah, only for, like, the first quarter,
28:21
third.
28:22
Danielle was faster on the
28:23
crossovers and faster on the dumbbell.
28:27
Tia killed her on the toast bar.
28:32
I was right...
28:34
there I mean I was right
28:35
beside danielle when that
28:36
finish happened so uh we
28:42
have that tia wins her
28:44
second event crazy um ricky
28:52
won that on the men's side
28:54
justin madaris in second
28:57
can we say like he looks
28:59
really good he does
29:04
Um, way better.
29:05
Like that's been the
29:06
surprise of the day for me.
29:07
Okay.
29:09
Is how good Justin has looked.
29:14
He's been looking good enough like this,
29:16
this season.
29:16
Like I feel like,
29:17
I know there's been a lot
29:18
of media around it.
29:19
So I try to like differentiate,
29:20
like what is the media saying versus like,
29:22
what am I actually seeing?
29:23
But.
29:25
He's spoken a lot to just
29:26
like his mindset and having
29:28
fun with his training,
29:29
and I can really resonate a
29:31
lot with that as an athlete,
29:33
and it just feels a lot lighter.
29:38
Yeah, he took twelfth in the run,
29:41
which is better than he's
29:42
been doing in runs.
29:44
He took second in this event,
29:46
and he does well in the
29:47
next event as well.
29:48
Yeah.
29:50
And then third was Jay Crouch,
29:52
Jason Hopper fourth,
29:54
Harry Lightfoot fifth.
29:56
Harry Lightfoot's having a nice weekend.
29:58
Yep, that was a good day for him.
30:02
On the women's side, we have Tia Wins,
30:09
Danielle second, Amy Kringle third,
30:13
and Lucy McGonigal fourth,
30:16
Lydia Fish fifth.
30:19
Couple big surprises in that.
30:21
At this point of the day,
30:23
Amy Kringle had put
30:24
together a second and a third.
30:27
Lydia Fish, a twelfth and a fifth.
30:31
So they were looking pretty good.
30:34
Even Daniel Brandon was eighth and second.
30:39
Then the wheels came off the bus.
30:41
A little bit, a little bit.
30:45
And this is where all of the
30:47
controversy has been since
30:49
I got back to my hotel
30:50
trying to catch up on everything.
30:54
Where I was at in the pit,
30:55
I was nowhere near the pegboards.
30:56
Okay.
30:59
So I couldn't see.
31:01
All I could see is those
31:03
sick-looking rads with the
31:04
purple that look so good in person.
31:08
I want to go buy a pair tomorrow.
31:12
They were not gripping the
31:13
pegboards at all.
31:16
Then it comes out that some
31:18
of the pegboards were
31:19
slipperier than others.
31:21
Some had sweat all over them.
31:24
Some people were spitting on their shoes.
31:26
Some were wiping their shoes.
31:30
Lane two seemed to be
31:31
stickier than every other lane.
31:35
All kinds of stuff is coming
31:37
out at this point.
31:38
Mm-hmm.
31:41
We end this with FISA coffee
31:44
winning pretty handily, uh,
31:49
by over a minute.
31:50
Mm-hmm Lydia fish.
31:53
Second Syria may have third
31:58
Olivia cursed at her fourth
31:59
Lex Neely fifth.
32:02
The big shock is Tia.
32:04
Claire to me did them strict.
32:05
Yeah.
32:07
Because she got no grip.
32:09
and she ended up in
32:14
sixteenth place giving a
32:20
big shake up to the
32:21
leaderboard it was in the
32:25
old caption where you're
32:26
just like yeah completely
32:28
extended just like half
32:30
half a rip at a time it was
32:32
it was really impressive to
32:33
watch though like
32:36
It was because if anyone
32:38
else had gotten to that point,
32:40
which others kind of did,
32:41
they just couldn't do them.
32:43
And she did them all.
32:50
Right.
32:53
You broke up for me there for a second,
32:55
Jamie.
32:55
I just, I said, if,
32:58
if anyone else had gotten to that point,
33:00
which others did
33:02
they wouldn't have gotten them.
33:03
I mean,
33:03
that's why other people were
33:04
falling off because they
33:05
couldn't handle it.
33:06
The fact that Tia can just
33:07
do legless and get through
33:08
it speaks volumes.
33:12
And just the mentality of like, well,
33:13
this is the situation I'm in,
33:15
like whether it's slippery or not,
33:17
like we can assume that
33:18
Tia's probably better at
33:20
skateboard than that.
33:21
And so there probably was
33:22
something going on with the surface,
33:26
but she's like, well, I gotta, you know,
33:28
there's,
33:30
just me to figure this out
33:32
yeah and it it did seem
33:37
like when she got towards
33:38
the top she was able to
33:39
bring her feet up and get
33:41
some traction at the top
33:43
what surprises me is like
33:45
she is such a veteran that
33:48
you would think I I'm
33:50
trying to think if she had
33:51
a tank top on or something
33:52
that if she or if she only
33:54
had her sports bra on but
33:55
like them and and the men
33:57
corrected for this so it's
33:58
tough to compare the two but
34:00
you would think she would
34:01
have had something to be
34:02
able to wipe her shoe or
34:05
wipe the board at the bottom,
34:06
at least put her hand up
34:07
and at least get where her
34:08
feet go to start.
34:10
And she, and she didn't.
34:12
And that surprises me.
34:13
Like, I don't know.
34:17
Yeah.
34:17
I think it's a tricky thing.
34:18
It's,
34:19
it's hard to say without like fully
34:22
experiencing it,
34:23
but I do have quite a bit
34:25
of experience with those
34:27
plexiglass pegboards.
34:28
And yeah,
34:29
I mean, I could see like,
34:31
even if somebody in the
34:32
previous key had like some
34:34
body lotion or oil or something on it,
34:36
they hit it and then just a
34:38
little bit of that just gets smeared.
34:40
It's like,
34:41
I could see how that could make
34:42
a really big difference.
34:45
I was just like thinking
34:47
they need like how they
34:48
have in the nba games you
34:49
know they have the people
34:50
that come out and like
34:50
squeegee the floor I'm like
34:53
that they had the guy who
34:54
popped out the pegs which
34:55
was pretty cool like they
34:57
could just have like a
34:58
giant swiffer to just like
34:59
do a once over just to get
35:01
anything extra off because
35:04
um that was actually one of
35:06
the things that um at the
35:08
ranch because uh dave has
35:10
his pegboard there and it's
35:12
it was a little dusty and
35:15
He was saying somebody had
35:17
tested out of that and they
35:18
were really slipping and
35:19
struggling and I don't
35:21
think they were quite as
35:22
experienced with the pegboard yet.
35:24
Um, but I had Dave, uh,
35:27
like spray it down for me and it was,
35:30
so I, yeah, I could see how that.
35:34
would make a big difference.
35:36
It's a tough thing to know
35:37
for sure because I think
35:38
it's a fine line of like, you know,
35:41
just having an excuse of
35:43
why you did or didn't do
35:44
well or like actually
35:46
something happened and
35:48
there was discrepancies or maybe
35:50
Like maybe,
35:51
maybe some athletes have never
35:53
done it on the plexiglass before.
35:55
And so they're not used to like,
35:56
because it is a technique
35:57
to like get your foot
35:59
really pushed in and like,
36:00
you have to have good ankle mobility,
36:02
good hip mobility to really
36:05
maximize that technique.
36:07
So it's hard to say,
36:08
was it a technique thing or
36:09
was it actually a specific thing?
36:11
Um,
36:14
Um,
36:15
Bruce said that Justin called this on
36:18
boys interrupted.
36:18
He did.
36:19
He said last time he did pegboards, he,
36:22
the person before him was
36:23
sweating all over the
36:24
pegboard and he was sliding
36:26
all over the place and he
36:27
was going to call it out in the briefing.
36:30
But again,
36:30
like if you don't have the tools
36:32
they're equipped to fix it,
36:35
how are you going to change last minute?
36:39
Did they wipe them off
36:40
between the women to the men?
36:43
No?
36:44
I don't think so.
36:44
Okay.
36:44
You know, watching it like a hawk.
36:48
Here's the other controversy.
36:50
They did have the guy going
36:51
and getting the pegs out
36:53
for some athletes.
36:55
Yes.
36:56
Not all athletes got that benefit.
36:58
Some were just given new
36:59
pegs to go up and get their old pegs.
37:04
Yeah.
37:04
Not cool.
37:04
That's definitely a
37:06
different obstacle to
37:10
overcome if those pegs are still there.
37:14
Yeah, Abby Doman had to pull her own.
37:16
Right.
37:18
At the very top.
37:19
It was in the top two holes.
37:22
Well, the hole right below the top.
37:25
And she fell four times in a row.
37:30
That's awful.
37:31
I wonder what the standard is with that.
37:32
Like,
37:32
can you just climb up with that
37:34
little peg and then just
37:35
hook on to the new peg and
37:36
start using that one?
37:37
Like, you know what I'm saying?
37:42
yeah I know I don't think
37:43
you were allowed to do that
37:44
I think she had to pull the
37:46
previous peg out I don't
37:50
know yeah I don't know so
37:55
on the men's side we had
37:56
jason hopper win roman's
37:58
second uh harry lightfoot
38:00
third justin madare's
38:02
fourth and jay crouch in
38:04
fifth and that brings the
38:06
overall leaderboard if
38:09
it'll let me sort it back it never does
38:13
uh jason was incredible I
38:16
believe he did I know
38:17
jason's in first touching
38:21
the first four unbroken and
38:22
then I think that you did
38:24
the rest of them yeah he
38:25
did james did great too he
38:29
broke in the round of two
38:31
on pegboards but he did the
38:32
four and the three unbroken
38:37
Um, he was just so fast too.
38:38
Like Jake simply missed an opportunity.
38:41
Cause like he could have
38:42
probably stayed with some of those guys.
38:43
Yeah.
38:43
And they had the push
38:44
because he was so far ahead.
38:45
But then it was like over
38:48
half the feet with some sticks.
38:51
Yep.
38:54
So on the men, on the women's side,
38:56
Tia Claire Toomey's in
38:57
first Lydia fish is only
38:59
six points behind.
39:02
Lucy Campbell is tied with Lydia fish.
39:06
And Maddie Sturt is in fourth,
39:09
but she's fifty points behind Tia.
39:14
Kringle in fifth.
39:15
Danielle Brandon in sixth.
39:17
Ariel Lowen in seventh.
39:19
Miriam Von Roer in eighth.
39:21
V. Sagafi in ninth.
39:22
Claudia Gluck in tenth.
39:27
On the men's side, I need to, here we go.
39:33
Overall,
39:35
Our leader in the clubhouse
39:36
after day one is Jason Hopper.
39:39
Second is Jay Crouch.
39:41
Third, Roman Krennikoff.
39:43
Actually, Hopper and Crouch are tied.
39:45
Right.
39:46
At two-sixty.
39:47
Roman is only four points back.
39:51
Ricky Garrard is twenty points back,
39:54
tied with Justin Medeiros.
39:57
Harry Lightfoot in sixth.
39:59
Jeffrey Adler in seventh.
40:01
Eighth is James Sprague.
40:03
Ninth, Dallin Pepper.
40:05
And number whatever in your programs,
40:09
but number one in Jamie's heart,
40:12
Tudor Magda in tenth place.
40:16
I mean,
40:17
I totally said he was going to have
40:18
a few good.
40:19
I think tomorrow's deadlift
40:20
handstand walk is going to
40:21
be good for him, too.
40:22
And the back squat.
40:24
Yep, and the back squat.
40:27
There's a couple people.
40:28
I'd say Annika is working on
40:30
her climb right now, too.
40:31
She's going to have a good
40:32
morning tomorrow.
40:32
I think so.
40:35
She surprised me on the pegboard event.
40:38
Olivia?
40:38
Yeah.
40:42
Yeah,
40:42
she did incredible on that upper body
40:44
pulling.
40:45
I think most people would
40:45
have thought that that
40:46
would have stopped her in
40:49
her tracks a little bit.
40:52
Since you tested this and
40:53
since it was brought up all
40:55
over the place,
40:57
And everyone kept saying
40:58
it's not heavy enough for the girls.
41:00
And I know it's hard to look
41:01
at it now because clearly
41:03
there was issues,
41:03
but many women had issues,
41:05
but the men still, I mean,
41:09
wipe the floor with the
41:10
women in this event.
41:11
Yeah.
41:12
What like,
41:14
Like I say this every time
41:15
I'm sick of people asking
41:16
for heavier weights.
41:17
Why,
41:17
why do we not just get better at
41:19
gymnastics and keep the race closer?
41:22
And like, why,
41:23
why do you keep wanting to
41:24
push the weights?
41:24
It would have made this
41:25
workout even worse if you
41:26
would have put made that
41:27
barbell heavier for women.
41:28
I agree.
41:29
And I think that the people
41:30
that say that they just
41:31
like to complain about that.
41:35
And they don't understand
41:36
the testing that goes into it.
41:38
Because now that you've seen it play out,
41:39
it's like, oh,
41:40
the percentages are a little off.
41:42
But now that you've seen it play out,
41:44
the women's time cap was
41:45
five minutes longer and
41:47
less than finished.
41:49
Yeah, exactly.
41:51
And the last part still
41:52
looked hard for the ones that got there.
41:54
It wasn't like they just
41:55
breezed through it.
41:56
Like, I was watching this girl.
41:57
Like, it was a challenging wait, you know?
42:01
And I think just like the
42:02
cumulative fatigue and the
42:03
decision to keep the reps the same,
42:06
which is like huge because
42:07
typically in legless or peg boards,
42:09
like you see a reduction in reps.
42:12
And so another thing that a
42:15
lot of people don't realize
42:16
is that they program the
42:18
weights typically.
42:21
Uh, for what fits on the bar seamlessly,
42:23
like,
42:23
they hardly ever put the two and a
42:25
half or the little files like,
42:27
Dave doesn't like how that
42:29
looks logistically.
42:29
I don't think that it.
42:30
It is, it just makes it more complicated.
42:33
So they're like,
42:34
I'd rather it be a little
42:35
heavier or lighter than the perfect,
42:37
you know,
42:38
seventy percent or whatever is like,
42:39
typical then.
42:42
worry about like all this
42:45
and it not looking clean.
42:48
So that was definitely a big
42:49
decision that we made on
42:50
the weights or that he made
42:51
on the weights that I tested.
42:53
Um, cause it started,
42:54
I think a little lighter or
42:56
a little heavier in comparison,
42:58
but then it ended a little
42:59
bit lighter as well.
43:00
Right.
43:03
um Fergie says Annika is so
43:05
well spoken hope you get an
43:06
interview with her Scott
43:08
well I spoke to her today
43:09
it was not appropriate to
43:10
put her on camera in that
43:11
moment um she was warming
43:14
up for the pegboards but
43:16
her and Hattie actually
43:18
warmed up together so she's
43:20
going to be in the behind
43:21
the scenes of Hattie and I
43:24
have their interaction
43:27
recorded back and forth as
43:30
the two Canadian women were
43:32
preparing for the pegboards.
43:34
I loved her dad dyed his
43:36
beard purple to match her hair.
43:39
It was the cutest thing.
43:40
That is cute.
43:43
It's so funny.
43:43
Last night, Amanda, Hari,
43:45
and I were talking and she's like,
43:48
I'm all, I'm so big with the dads.
43:50
They always come up and
43:51
introduce themselves and
43:53
say that they watch my show and whatever.
43:55
And sure enough, this morning,
43:57
two dads introduced
43:58
themselves to me and say
44:00
they watch our show.
44:01
That's awesome.
44:02
And one of those is Dallin Pepper's dad.
44:04
And who was the other one?
44:10
Uh,
44:11
I think it was someone that
44:12
I've talked to before, but yeah,
44:14
the Dallin one kind of surprised me.
44:16
Yeah.
44:18
Yeah.
44:19
Also, uh,
44:20
before we move on from the pegboard event,
44:22
I want to shout out to our girl, Carolyn,
44:23
who had the buzzer beater rep at the end.
44:25
I don't know if you guys saw that.
44:27
Um, she, I think,
44:28
I think she was finishing
44:31
her set of two and she had like, you know,
44:32
three seconds and she like three, two,
44:35
one, puts it in, holds it,
44:37
looks at her judge after the clock.
44:40
And she's like,
44:42
Yep.
44:42
It was a really cool moment.
44:44
Yeah,
44:44
I actually was making fun of her that
44:45
she brought out the Tiger
44:47
Woods arm pump for the end of that.
44:53
But an update on Carolyn.
44:55
One, she did get the full t shirts.
44:59
So she has she got two of those.
45:02
The other one was that she has a rash.
45:07
Oh,
45:10
And it's in the in the
45:12
vignette I did with her
45:13
that's out on YouTube right now.
45:15
Members can see it.
45:17
She broke out like all of
45:18
her arms and her face.
45:24
And so she's switching hotels.
45:28
Is that where she thinks she
45:29
thinks it's from the hotel sheets?
45:35
Yeah.
45:36
She has sensitive skin and I know that's.
45:39
She gets her, her hands will get.
45:42
Yeah.
45:42
So she, she talks about it.
45:43
That's the only reason I'm
45:44
bringing it up is she talks
45:46
about it in the vignette
45:48
and shows her arms.
45:51
Um, but it's really itchy.
45:53
And when she sweats, it gets worse.
45:56
Yeah.
45:57
So she is really battling through that.
46:01
Uh,
46:01
Denise says she's allergic to the U S
46:02
right there.
46:08
But yeah, she's been in great spirits.
46:10
We've been talking a lot
46:11
today back in the warm-up area.
46:14
And she isn't in a zone that
46:17
pushes me away when we go
46:20
to talk back there.
46:22
She's in really good spirits,
46:23
really having fun.
46:25
I think just appreciating the moment,
46:29
because it's been a few
46:30
years since she's made it back,
46:32
and I think she's just...
46:33
Love and life.
46:34
And I did get another thing
46:35
I saw in the back room is
46:38
Alex Kazan was warming up with the girls.
46:42
She did not perform.
46:43
She, of course,
46:44
because of everything
46:45
that's been going on,
46:46
but she was back either cool,
46:49
cooling down on a bike or
46:50
warming up on a bike with
46:51
the girls just chatting,
46:53
which I thought was kind of cool.
46:54
That's awesome.
46:57
She did say she'd be here.
46:58
I remember that.
46:59
So that's good.
47:02
uh new york will do that to
47:03
you yeah I'll give you a
47:06
rash so do we want to talk
47:10
teams since someone is
47:12
intimately involved with
47:13
all that I enjoyed watching
47:15
the teams I I think it's
47:16
been great let's let's do
47:18
it can I make my one
47:19
complaint before we start I
47:23
think the team should all
47:24
have different colored
47:25
uniforms different than the individuals
47:31
Each team has a different color.
47:34
It would make it so much
47:35
easier to watch and figure
47:36
out who's where, who's on what team,
47:40
who's going through what.
47:42
When they're all wearing the same outfits,
47:44
it really gets confusing live.
47:46
If you're an even league,
47:49
you have to wear light color.
47:50
Then you wear dark color.
47:50
Yeah.
47:58
to at least just draw some
48:00
differentiation.
48:01
Because that was one thing
48:02
that I did with Draft Team.
48:04
Coincidentally, by chance,
48:05
they were the only team to
48:08
wear the bright blue shirts
48:10
on the run today.
48:11
So I was able to spot them easily.
48:14
And there was another event
48:14
too where they happened to
48:16
be wearing a different
48:16
color than other teams.
48:18
So I agree with that.
48:19
Yeah, I agree.
48:22
That would be nice.
48:23
I don't know if because they...
48:25
the sponsor is like making
48:28
this kit and it's pretty much the same,
48:29
but yeah,
48:30
maybe they do the four colors
48:32
and you know,
48:35
like a quarter of the team gets all black,
48:38
a quarter of the team gets all teal,
48:40
a quarter of the team gets all,
48:41
and that's their color.
48:43
And hopefully they get
48:44
spread out on the floors.
48:47
Yeah.
48:50
If you could pick your team colors,
48:53
what would they be?
48:55
I love the colors that they did this year.
48:57
I think they're the perfect
48:59
balance of bright and fun,
49:02
but still subtle and not obnoxious.
49:09
To me, Reebok was fun colors,
49:11
but it was so bright that
49:12
it was almost cheesy.
49:13
So it still looks very professional.
49:16
And I like the color block
49:18
where it's a pink shirt
49:20
with a darker pink name.
49:25
So I think they did a great job.
49:27
I would choose the colors.
49:28
It kind of reminds me of fall colors.
49:30
Yeah, a little bit.
49:32
Like autumn leaves.
49:34
They do have like that
49:35
orangey pink in there.
49:35
But I really like the blues too.
49:43
Yeah, I think they did a great job.
49:44
Yes.
49:44
Spark and green is what I would wear.
49:49
I would wear orange.
49:51
Nobody asked, but I'm saying it.
49:55
Chicago bear orange to be specific.
49:58
That's what I was thinking.
49:59
Other than like, like a high vis yellow.
50:02
But I didn't love that
50:03
because that's kind of what
50:04
we had last year at the Masters.
50:06
I feel like orange shows off.
50:07
Well,
50:07
at least you're it's bright and pops
50:09
for people on camera.
50:12
Yeah, I'm over the high vis green.
50:14
Yeah,
50:15
the Masters like that was just too
50:17
much last year.
50:17
It was too much.
50:22
right so teams they started
50:24
with the same run row run
50:27
this morning yeah it was it
50:30
seems like from I feel like
50:32
from your initial what from
50:34
my initial reaction it
50:36
seems unimaginative that
50:37
they made him do like the
50:39
exact same thing at the end
50:40
I think it was really good
50:44
opportunity to just like go
50:46
for it on a run like this
50:48
because a lot of the times
50:49
especially in the previous
50:50
couple of years
50:51
I've made them run with the
50:53
rope and it just totally,
50:57
unless you have four people that are very,
50:59
very similar in running capacity,
51:01
it just makes the workout
51:03
really easy for three
51:04
people and really hard for one.
51:07
And you're kind of just like
51:08
at your weakest link, which I don't think,
51:11
like imagine doing a max back squat event,
51:14
for example,
51:15
and they just take the weakest person.
51:18
It just kind of like,
51:20
I think there's a place for it,
51:21
but it's been a little bit overdone.
51:23
So it was really cool to see
51:24
the teams just like kind of
51:26
get to go for it.
51:27
And, you know,
51:27
you can compare their scores
51:28
with the individuals and
51:30
you can also help your
51:32
teammates then if you do
51:33
have somebody who struggles with running,
51:35
you're like, well, I gotta punch it.
51:37
We gotta make up as many
51:38
seconds as we can.
51:39
And that was one thing that
51:41
we saw with a lot of the
51:43
sprint offs for the teams.
51:46
some people who weren't
51:47
surrounded by other
51:48
athletes wouldn't like
51:50
punch the finish line and
51:52
it's like well your
51:52
teammate could be one
51:54
second behind somebody and
51:56
so if you didn't punch it
51:57
like you lost that race you
51:58
know and so just the little
52:01
things like that where it's
52:02
like it was it was an
52:04
individual event but there
52:05
was definitely some team
52:07
things to keep in mind yeah
52:11
like that I liked seeing the
52:14
individual times I like
52:14
that the front three guys
52:16
was I mean they put up some
52:19
freaking competitive times
52:25
yep I know people are
52:28
saying that we can't hear
52:29
allison as well as the
52:30
others I will get her a
52:32
mini mic for tomorrow night
52:33
for sure I will find her tomorrow
52:38
Yeah,
52:39
I think it's the way your headphones
52:41
are designed.
52:42
They have like an automatic
52:43
noise canceling.
52:45
And so it just messes.
52:47
But I have extra mini mics.
52:49
I can just get you one.
52:50
Okay, thank you.
52:53
And we'll have that for tomorrow night.
52:57
So on that one, CrossFit Oslo,
53:01
Krieger wins.
53:03
Kristen Holta back on the
53:04
floor for the first time.
53:07
And they end up winning the
53:09
first two events.
53:10
Yeah.
53:11
I saw her.
53:12
We're getting ready for the
53:14
opening ceremonies.
53:15
I wanted to ask her what it
53:16
was like to be back out on
53:18
a games floor actually competing again.
53:23
But they were checking people in so fast.
53:31
Who else did well in that one?
53:32
The sort is not.
53:33
They were the only team to
53:33
finish that second event.
53:36
I know.
53:36
Which was crazy.
53:39
Camel City was right there.
53:40
They just, yeah.
53:42
Camel City was third.
53:44
Blueprint, CrossFit team, AOD was second.
53:49
Eighth Day was fourth.
53:50
They do well in all the running events.
53:53
Yes.
53:54
CrossFit Invictus was fifth.
53:58
with danny yeah so and
54:00
actually um danielle dumb
54:02
lap on eighth day I don't
54:06
know if she's having chin
54:06
splinter she I looked like
54:08
she had her knees knees
54:09
taped that was not a great
54:11
performance for from her
54:13
she was actually behind
54:14
danny danny actually didn't
54:17
do I mean I'm gonna say
54:18
danny looked like she was
54:19
like in the pack she wasn't
54:21
like there was a few people
54:23
that were far beyond the pack right
54:27
And then Emily is like a
54:30
collegiate runner.
54:33
I think she's finished
54:33
sports overall as well.
54:34
Yeah.
54:34
Is it a perception that
54:37
Danny and the games
54:38
individual group is a
54:40
terrible runner because
54:41
she's up against the best
54:43
of the best and in the team,
54:45
it's more of like a spread
54:46
out talent pool and there she's fine.
54:50
Yeah.
54:50
I would say yes.
54:55
Yeah.
54:57
do talk I do talk about her
54:58
a little bit with um phil
54:59
in that full vignette um
55:00
and that's pretty good uh
55:01
so that is the time I think
55:03
their boys did pretty good
55:03
um and then your camp rhino
55:05
crossfit dogs took sixth
55:06
yeah they crushed it like I
55:15
said the keto is fourth
55:15
from the guys and lena got
55:16
third overall for the girls
55:17
so not really and then brad
55:17
and omer were like
55:28
middle upper part of the
55:30
pack and so I think just
55:31
having the consistency
55:32
there is like really where
55:34
they where you can make it
55:37
up as an event like if you
55:39
have three good runners but
55:40
then you have a fourth
55:41
person that's way back
55:43
there so you just can't
55:44
make that up over four
55:47
consistent people right the
55:51
next event is conga line
55:53
and I apparently missed it
55:55
Oh, this is what she was saying,
55:58
that Oz was the only team
56:00
to have finished it.
56:01
That was brutal.
56:02
Oh, I did see it.
56:06
Yeah.
56:06
I think it was probably just
56:08
they should have made the time lapse,
56:09
like, even just a minute longer,
56:10
because there were so many
56:12
teams that were right there.
56:14
And it definitely was so
56:16
anticlimactic that it's like,
56:18
they're all just done now.
56:20
And you don't know where anybody finished.
56:22
And it was definitely hectic, for sure.
56:24
Yeah.
56:26
Yeah, it was a tough event,
56:28
and sometimes it's just
56:29
hard to get those time caps
56:30
exactly right.
56:33
Agree.
56:35
And then they did It's Complex Pegboard.
56:38
With very minimal rest, I must say.
56:41
I can't imagine what those people's grip.
56:44
I mean, they did a shit ton of Totobar.
56:46
Yeah.
56:48
And then went into Pegboard, like, ugh.
56:54
Yeah, Lena was saying that her grip,
56:55
she definitely felt her
56:56
grip on the toes of our workout.
56:58
Like, she was the second pair, too,
57:00
so she went right from the
57:01
toes of our end to the cleaning jerks.
57:03
And they were trying to do
57:04
some touch and go, and it was just, like,
57:06
not there.
57:07
Yeah.
57:08
Understandably.
57:09
But she said she was actually,
57:10
despite it being a pretty
57:11
short turnaround,
57:12
she felt okay on the pain boards.
57:16
I think that's kind of, like,
57:17
an acute thing.
57:18
You just get, like, that pump there,
57:20
and you can't get it out, but...
57:23
you know,
57:24
with a little bit of recovery and
57:24
that speaks to the recovery
57:26
levels of these athletes too,
57:27
where they can just like
57:29
put it all out there and
57:30
then have a quick thirty
57:32
minute rest and crush it again.
57:35
You know,
57:35
I wonder if the teams going first
57:39
had an impact because
57:40
thinking about it and watching that,
57:42
like looking back now,
57:43
the teams and you know,
57:45
there's far inferior colors
57:48
on the teams and they
57:49
looked fine on the pegboard.
57:52
Like, I didn't really see,
57:54
and I know you're going back and forth,
57:55
so it's not quite the same,
57:56
but they just did five
57:57
minutes of pegboard,
57:58
and there were people
57:59
falling off the pegboard
58:00
like you might expect to
58:01
see out of a team's field.
58:09
CJ from WODprep is giving me
58:11
a math equation.
58:12
Field of thirty equals far
58:15
superior to forty from a fan perspective.
58:19
It has been nice.
58:20
I agree.
58:21
I will die on this hill, though.
58:24
It would even be better if
58:26
it was the right thirty.
58:27
A hundred percent.
58:31
Yes.
58:32
The moment we get to the right thirty,
58:34
then I'll buy in.
58:36
What's this tea with the right thirty?
58:38
I haven't been following it.
58:42
Well,
58:42
the fact that like the fact that some
58:45
of the regions got were
58:49
their own region and somewhere and you're,
58:53
you're inevitably not going
58:54
to have the absolute best
58:55
thirty in the world.
58:56
Right.
58:56
Right.
58:56
Yeah.
58:57
So that's by the end of the weekend,
59:01
we can probably predict who
59:02
the bottom five are on both
59:04
sides because you just know
59:07
it would be really nice to
59:08
not be able to do that.
59:10
Yeah.
59:10
Yeah.
59:12
And take and I'm sure in
59:13
your career you missed out
59:16
on the CrossFit Games
59:17
because they didn't take the best forty.
59:21
Right?
59:24
Possibly, yeah.
59:25
And I think that is the
59:26
biggest mistake CrossFit
59:29
has made in the games.
59:31
Yeah.
59:35
Because it changes the
59:36
leaderboard tremendously if
59:38
you have the best forty
59:39
going every event.
59:40
Yes.
59:45
Because anybody can make a
59:47
mess of the leaderboard.
59:52
Yep, I agree.
59:53
Yeah,
59:54
that's the hill I'm willing to die on.
59:57
How do you think they can do that?
1:00:02
I don't think we should be
1:00:03
an Olympic sport.
1:00:04
No, no, no, no.
1:00:06
I think that you don't close
1:00:08
it to a region.
1:00:09
I think, first of all,
1:00:11
this season was a shit show
1:00:12
and should never be repeated.
1:00:14
The way they did it was a complete mess.
1:00:19
But if you're going to have
1:00:20
events around the world,
1:00:21
they just need to be open events.
1:00:23
Anybody can sign up.
1:00:25
Anybody can go.
1:00:28
They shouldn't be closed to
1:00:29
just Africa or just South
1:00:31
America and then guaranteed
1:00:34
that your home country gets some spots.
1:00:36
That's the problem.
1:00:38
But then will you get those
1:00:40
event organizers to buy in
1:00:41
if their own people don't get to go?
1:00:43
I don't know,
1:00:44
but maybe it's not worth them
1:00:45
staying if we get the wrong people.
1:00:50
And then their people should
1:00:52
be working to become good
1:00:54
enough that that isn't
1:00:55
going to matter anymore.
1:00:57
Yeah.
1:01:04
People don't wear Lakers
1:01:05
jerseys because someone
1:01:06
from their country is in the NBA.
1:01:12
Couldn't have said it better myself.
1:01:13
Yeah.
1:01:15
Yeah.
1:01:21
All right.
1:01:24
So on the complex pegboard,
1:01:27
we had CrossFit Mayhem win.
1:01:29
CrossFit Le Prayer Mayhem take second.
1:01:32
I saw their girls go like five reps in,
1:01:34
and I was like, they got it.
1:01:36
They had one girl that was
1:01:41
doing doubles every round,
1:01:42
and she just looked so strong.
1:01:43
I wish I knew her name.
1:01:44
I'm sorry, but you were amazing.
1:01:46
Yep.
1:01:50
Q to one CrossFit took
1:01:51
fourth and CrossFit greater
1:01:54
heights overtake took for fifth.
1:02:00
And then we finish up with four events,
1:02:01
which is crazy.
1:02:02
I know they won.
1:02:05
It's complex lift.
1:02:09
Yeah,
1:02:10
that was their over their snatch
1:02:12
overhead squat.
1:02:15
That was won by CrossFit.
1:02:17
Eleven twenty four.
1:02:20
Then CrossFit Butcher's Lab Van Lus.
1:02:22
Their men were insane.
1:02:26
Then CrossFit Oslo Krieger.
1:02:29
Fourth was CrossFit Prestanda.
1:02:33
And fifth is CrossFit for Friends Smart.
1:02:39
Interesting name.
1:02:40
Don't know how it goes together,
1:02:41
but... Yeah, I don't know.
1:02:44
I don't even know which team that is.
1:02:45
Okay.
1:02:54
some some teams have like I
1:03:00
don't know for sure but
1:03:01
some teams have like the
1:03:01
campground or crossfit dogs
1:03:03
like they have like a
1:03:03
descriptor yeah um so the
1:03:04
overall leaderboard at this
1:03:04
point is camel city
1:03:05
crossfit is in first wow
1:03:06
butchers lab von luce is in
1:03:09
second crossfit mayhem is
1:03:11
in third oslo kreiger is in
1:03:14
fourth and proven is in fifth
1:03:18
Without a single top five finish.
1:03:21
That's insane.
1:03:21
Also, I had a tough pegboard score.
1:03:33
I heard it would be great
1:03:34
fun if they had a pegboard
1:03:34
result tonight.
1:03:34
Oh, okay.
1:03:35
So that's where it started.
1:03:39
They finished.
1:03:40
So Krieger's finishes are first, first,
1:03:44
pegboard, seventeenth, third.
1:03:50
Yeah, that's crazy.
1:03:51
I would not expect that from that team.
1:03:53
So I don't know what lane we're in.
1:03:58
Yeah, that's not good.
1:03:58
Yeah.
1:03:58
But I think they can come back from that.
1:04:05
I think that seems like it was a fluke.
1:04:06
And clearly they have the
1:04:08
fitness and the capacity
1:04:10
and definitely the strength, you know,
1:04:11
to keep scoring up.
1:04:17
I kept waiting for Tola to
1:04:19
do like a set of like six
1:04:21
and he was only doing like
1:04:23
doubles on that.
1:04:24
I,
1:04:24
he seemed more fatigued than I
1:04:27
anticipated.
1:04:27
So I don't know if,
1:04:29
I don't know if their
1:04:30
effort in the second
1:04:32
workout cost them a little bit,
1:04:35
like holding on for those
1:04:37
total bar and then not
1:04:39
being able to hold for those peg boards.
1:04:42
I don't know.
1:04:42
I mean,
1:04:42
there might've been some overlap there.
1:04:47
I'm surprised you didn't bring this up,
1:04:48
Jamie.
1:04:50
CrossFit, the one in first,
1:04:53
Campbell City CrossFit,
1:04:55
two Masters athletes for the women.
1:04:57
I was about to say that, yeah.
1:05:00
Would you have competed against at Crash?
1:05:02
Yep.
1:05:04
And they're both really, really good.
1:05:06
Caroline Klutz and Stevie Dellinger?
1:05:08
Yep.
1:05:10
Killing it in first place on the teams.
1:05:13
That's pretty awesome.
1:05:13
That is very impressive.
1:05:20
The old Masters athletes don't die.
1:05:22
They just keep on playing elsewhere.
1:05:24
They go to teams.
1:05:27
Yeah.
1:05:29
Anyway, I thought that was fun.
1:05:30
It is cool.
1:05:32
They've actually been
1:05:33
talking a decent amount
1:05:35
about Carolyn and there's
1:05:38
five other women,
1:05:39
three more on the teams
1:05:40
other than Stevie and Carolyn.
1:05:44
that are all going into the
1:05:45
Masters competition.
1:05:47
I heard them promoting
1:05:48
Masters through Prevo a couple times.
1:05:51
Yep.
1:05:52
Which is really cool.
1:05:53
Yeah.
1:05:53
They're doing a good job.
1:05:58
They also announced their broadcast team.
1:06:00
Oh.
1:06:04
For the Masters.
1:06:05
Who's the broadcast team?
1:06:07
The same people it always is.
1:06:09
Okay.
1:06:09
Yeah.
1:06:11
it's sean woodland chase
1:06:13
ingram joel gadet tommy
1:06:17
marquez bailey bailey
1:06:21
bailey yeah bella bella
1:06:25
martin bella martin yeah
1:06:26
bailey martin's the
1:06:27
australian crossfitter I
1:06:28
was like it sounds like
1:06:28
he's wanting to say bailey
1:06:34
martin but I don't think
1:06:37
that's right bella
1:06:38
I just think other people deserve shots.
1:06:41
Yeah.
1:06:41
It's not anything against those people,
1:06:43
but you're never going to
1:06:45
build a bench if you use
1:06:46
the same people over and over again.
1:06:48
Yeah.
1:06:52
The Australian, Lauren.
1:06:54
Is that her name, Lauren?
1:06:55
Yeah.
1:07:00
I think she's English.
1:07:01
Is she from England?
1:07:01
She's English, yeah.
1:07:02
All right.
1:07:03
Okay.
1:07:04
I like her.
1:07:04
Yeah, she's it.
1:07:07
I think I'm going to have to
1:07:17
jump here soon,
1:07:18
but if you guys wanted to
1:07:20
have any last minute takes with me,
1:07:22
I'm happy to check.
1:07:28
So you cut out on us a little bit there,
1:07:29
Allie.
1:07:29
I think I'm going to have to
1:07:30
jump here in a little bit.
1:07:31
Um, he's getting ready for bed soon, but,
1:07:36
um, I just said,
1:07:38
if you had any last minute takes, um,
1:07:39
this is pretty much the end of the show.
1:07:41
I was just going to tell him
1:07:42
what's coming up and
1:07:44
tomorrow we'll have a mic
1:07:45
for you so we can hear all
1:07:47
your great takes.
1:07:48
Um,
1:07:51
But I do want to let people
1:07:52
know there's two vignettes
1:07:55
out on YouTube right now.
1:07:56
There's two more coming tonight.
1:07:59
I sat down with Lucy Campbell,
1:08:01
and that's going to come out.
1:08:03
And I did a profile on
1:08:05
Amanda Hari and how she
1:08:07
does her stuff and why it's
1:08:09
widely different than everybody else.
1:08:11
And I have one I'm scheduled
1:08:13
with tomorrow where –
1:08:15
It's a media company who
1:08:18
love extreme sports.
1:08:19
So they work in CrossFit.
1:08:20
They work in like deep sea diving stuff.
1:08:23

pretty unique perspective.
1:08:35

1:08:38
So yeah,
1:08:38
we'll keep coming out with more
1:08:39

1:08:41
And then we'll be back
1:08:41

With that, guys,
1:08:48

1:08:52
