  What is going on, everybody?
• 0:29
  Welcome to Thursday Night CrossFit Talk.
• 0:32
  Did you notice the new open?
• 0:34
  Yes.
• 0:36
  I saw my little face out there.
• 0:38
  Yeah,
• 0:39
  we gave you the wiggle head like
• 0:40
  everybody else has.
• 0:41
  I was trying to think of
• 0:42
  what picture that was from.
• 0:45
  I took it.
• 0:46
  Oh, okay.
• 0:47
  Yeah,
• 0:47
  it's a picture I took of you at the
• 0:49
  games.
• 0:52
  You were actually front squatting.
• 0:53
  It was the back nine.
• 0:56
  OK, that's what I thought.
• 0:57
  I was like,
• 0:57
  I think it's the yoke picture
• 0:59
  or something.
• 0:59
  Yeah.
• 1:00
  OK, that makes sense.
• 1:01
  Yeah.
• 1:02
  So, yeah,
• 1:04
  it was back when I was in the pit
• 1:05
  two years ago and actually
• 1:06
  was getting good pictures.
• 1:09
  And I have some of you with
• 1:10
  the yoke to one really like
• 1:12
  because you were in the
• 1:13
  lane right by the pit.
• 1:14
  So as you were coming by,
• 1:15
  I like I got one that's
• 1:17
  like super close up.
• 1:20
  Great.
• 1:21
  Because we all love those sometimes.
• 1:23
  Yeah.
• 1:25
  Especially when you're
• 1:25
  lifting whatever weight
• 1:26
  that was on that yoke.
• 1:28
  That was a heavy workout.
• 1:32
  Yeah.
• 1:32
  Very.
• 1:33
  I liked it.
• 1:37
  So here we are Thursday at CrossFit Talk.
• 1:39
  The open is over.
• 1:43
  What do you want to get into first?
• 1:45
  Anything new with you guys
• 1:46
  before we get into the open talk?
• 1:52
  carolyn you're back in
• 1:52
  canada yes I'm back in
• 1:54
  canada I got back sunday
• 1:56
  afternoon um back because I
• 2:01
  had I was on march break
• 2:02
  that's why I was in
• 2:03
  california so I got back
• 2:05
  sunday afternoon and then
• 2:07
  went back to work on monday
• 2:09
  so students are all
• 2:12
  thrilled to come back after
• 2:13
  a week and teachers as well you know
• 2:17
  I was telling Jamie that at the gym,
• 2:19
  because I've just started going back,
• 2:22
  it's spring break next week,
• 2:24
  and there were people in my
• 2:25
  class not doing the board
• 2:27
  workout because they wanted
• 2:29
  to save their legs for
• 2:30
  their spring break vacation.
• 2:35
  Now, the one guy was going skiing,
• 2:36
  so I do kind of get that.
• 2:39
  You don't want to have
• 2:41
  ripped up legs going skiing, but yeah.
• 2:46
  So Jamie, anything with you?
• 2:47
  Nope.
• 2:49
  I just have my members ball Saturday.
• 2:52
  So just been trying to gear up for that.
• 2:55
  Yep.
• 2:58
  You have like a dance.
• 2:59
  Yep, exactly.
• 3:02
  Dress up full on.
• 3:04
  Um, we usually do it in December,
• 3:06
  but the last two years, that's like,
• 3:08
  it's always right around
• 3:09
  legends and it just takes a
• 3:11
  huge toll on me, um,
• 3:13
  in Christmas time and it's hard.
• 3:14
  So I thought I would do it after the open.
• 3:18
  Um, and I, I posted like two months ago,
• 3:22
  this date and nobody said anything.
• 3:24
  And,
• 3:25
  and you would think I would know cause
• 3:26
  I have a kid, but again,
• 3:28
  our spring break is the same.
• 3:29
  It starts next week.
• 3:31
  Now I have a lot of people
• 3:32
  like not RSVPing and being like, well,
• 3:36
  we're going on spring break.
• 3:36
  And I'm like,
• 3:37
  why didn't you guys say
• 3:38
  something two months ago
• 3:39
  when I put the date out
• 3:39
  there and I would have
• 3:40
  moved it a week later?
• 3:44
  Well, that'd be Easter, but I don't know.
• 3:47
  Communication, communication,
• 3:48
  communication.
• 3:49
  Yeah,
• 3:49
  that's why I put save the date out
• 3:51
  there two months ago.
• 3:54
  It's like Lex always
• 3:54
  communicates with me that
• 3:56
  she beats me in heat one.
• 3:56
  Always.
• 3:59
  Always.
• 4:01
  I should have done it.
• 4:04
  I like doing it and battling with Lex.
• 4:08
  Yeah, I usually do too.
• 4:09
  But again, I said this Sunday night,
• 4:11
  my biggest beef is they
• 4:13
  added those underdog
• 4:14
  matchups and they didn't
• 4:16
  tell you when until it was
• 4:18
  like right about to go and
• 4:19
  I missed it two different weekends.
• 4:22
  I got zero on those.
• 4:23
  Once I missed the first week
• 4:25
  of the open for the heat one, I was like,
• 4:26
  well,
• 4:26
  there's no point to hop in now
• 4:27
  because I'm assuming it was too late to
• 4:34
  Carolyn,
• 4:35
  you watched a movie that made you cry?
• 4:38
  Oh my gosh!
• 4:41
  You guys.
• 4:42
  It was called Arthur the King.
• 4:45
  Am I right, Lex?
• 4:47
  Yeah, Mark Wahlberg.
• 4:49
  Yes, so Lex and I love our doodles.
• 4:54
  And the one dog looked a
• 4:56
  little scruffy at first,
• 4:57
  but then you kind of got to
• 4:59
  know the dog and this group of
• 5:02
  four people go on this
• 5:03
  adventure um like the
• 5:07
  mountains like biking
• 5:09
  running everything so many
• 5:11
  miles and then they see
• 5:12
  this dog at the beginning
• 5:13
  and then they also and then
• 5:15
  like 200 miles later the
• 5:16
  dog like after like mark
• 5:18
  wilbert like feeds the dog
• 5:20
  some meatballs the dog like
• 5:23
  found its way back to them
• 5:24
  and then they like did the race
• 5:26
  with the dogs I'm not gonna
• 5:27
  give it up but I don't know
• 5:29
  lex and I just got so
• 5:30
  emotional the whole time
• 5:31
  because I think we just
• 5:32
  like I don't know for me
• 5:33
  like I just like pictured
• 5:34
  like me and lex kind of
• 5:35
  probably doing something
• 5:36
  like that and then you
• 5:37
  start thinking about like
• 5:38
  your dogs and man lex had
• 5:42
  to put some sunglasses on
• 5:44
  to go to the store after
• 5:45
  because we were a hot mess
• 5:47
  oh that's cute it's such a
• 5:50
  hard cry she had to go
• 5:51
  sunglasses like the lights
• 5:53
  are off at the end of the movie
• 5:55
  And I'm like, Lex,
• 5:56
  put your sunglasses on now
• 5:58
  before the lights turn on.
• 5:59
  It was good.
• 6:02
  Don't worry.
• 6:02
  Like it's, it's a good ending,
• 6:05
  but it's still just a, yeah, that's good.
• 6:10
  Yeah.
• 6:10
  I had a pretty boring week.
• 6:12
  Just it seemed busy with,
• 6:15
  with like nothing accomplished.
• 6:18
  But tomorrow I go see my
• 6:20
  cardiologist for my follow-up,
• 6:23
  so that'll be good.
• 6:24
  I'll get in there and get
• 6:26
  hopefully a clean bill of
• 6:27
  health and no AFib, all that.
• 6:32
  So, yeah.
• 6:33
  I'm feeling good.
• 6:34
  I told Jamie it's great
• 6:37
  getting back into the gym,
• 6:38
  but I am hurting.
• 6:41
  Like, I am so sore.
• 6:43
  My legs are completely trashed.
• 6:47
  My legs are still sore from the open.
• 6:50
  I think I did something.
• 6:52
  And I can't tell it to Lex
• 6:53
  because she just sends me
• 6:54
  the world's smallest violin
• 6:55
  every time I try to
• 6:56
  complain about anything.
• 6:57
  She just sends me an emoji of a violin.
• 6:59
  She's like, you're fine.
• 7:01
  But...
• 7:02
  Like I was so sore from this one.
• 7:04
  Like I did it the Friday in California.
• 7:07
  And then I was sore Saturday.
• 7:10
  I was sore Sunday.
• 7:11
  Like going down the stairs
• 7:12
  was awful Monday at school.
• 7:14
  I could barely go down the stairs.
• 7:15
  Still how I redid the workout on Monday.
• 7:18
  I have no idea.
• 7:20
  I tried to squat for the first time today.
• 7:24
  And I did like a high hang
• 7:26
  squat snatch at like 115
• 7:28
  pounds and can barely get
• 7:29
  out of the bottom.
• 7:29
  Like my quad seized up again.
• 7:32
  And like I could barely flex
• 7:34
  my knee after I was like, geez, I'm like,
• 7:36
  I got to take more days off
• 7:37
  again from squatting.
• 7:39
  So I just did everything upper body.
• 7:40
  I haven't been able to squat since.
• 7:43
  So I think I did something.
• 7:45
  But don't tell Lex because
• 7:47
  she doesn't let me complain about it.
• 7:49
  Well, that's why you have this show.
• 7:50
  You can come.
• 7:51
  Yes, I can.
• 7:51
  I can vent here.
• 7:53
  Yeah.
• 7:54
  So perfect segue.
• 7:55
  Uh,
• 7:56
  you and Jamie competed at a high level
• 7:58
  at the open.
• 7:59
  Did you have something to say, Jamie?
• 8:00
  Did I catch off?
• 8:01
  Well, I was going to say,
• 8:03
  cause I did it Thursday and
• 8:04
  I was only sore,
• 8:06
  like in my lats and like my biceps,
• 8:08
  just like my pulling.
• 8:10
  Um, and,
• 8:12
  and I heard a lot of people saying
• 8:13
  like their legs were sore and I, you know,
• 8:15
  I, I suck at squatting.
• 8:17
  I'm like,
• 8:18
  I just don't use my legs clearly.
• 8:19
  Um, and,
• 8:21
  Well, I redid it on Monday,
• 8:22
  even though we talked about Sunday,
• 8:23
  me not redoing it.
• 8:24
  I redid it anyway.
• 8:25
  And I must have used my legs, glutes,
• 8:28
  everything.
• 8:29
  I am a wreck as well.
• 8:31
  Still now, right?
• 8:33
  Still today.
• 8:34
  Well, get this.
• 8:35
  Then Wednesday I did at
• 8:38
  every minute on the minute.
• 8:39
  Well, it was every night,
• 8:40
  every minute 30 because it
• 8:41
  was 30 second rest.
• 8:43
  Three wall walks,
• 8:44
  max thrusters at 95 pounds.
• 8:47
  So for 10, for 10 rounds of that,
• 8:50
  I did 90 more thrusters.
• 8:53
  I had thrusters program this
• 8:55
  week and I was like, no.
• 8:58
  Yeah.
• 8:58
  Today I had an overhead spot.
• 9:00
  Nope.
• 9:00
  Didn't skip that.
• 9:01
  Did power snatch instead.
• 9:03
  Yeah.
• 9:04
  Well,
• 9:04
  so I did this because Tristan had
• 9:06
  programmed for me 50 chest to bar, um,
• 9:11
  15 squat snatch, 25 bar muscle ups,
• 9:13
  15 overhead squat with like
• 9:15
  burpee back jump in there.
• 9:16
  And I was like, I can't do,
• 9:17
  I literally can't do any more pull-ups,
• 9:19
  chest to bars or bar muscle
• 9:20
  ups right now.
• 9:21
  And so I was like,
• 9:22
  I'll do this thruster while walk workout.
• 9:24
  I Lord knows I need to work on thrusters.
• 9:26
  Um, but yeah, I am, I'm totally wrecked.
• 9:31
  I hope my quads are fine.
• 9:32
  Like, I think I have a small injury.
• 9:34
  Like, I don't know.
• 9:35
  Guys, let me vent.
• 9:36
  It's fine.
• 9:37
  I'm in my feelings.
• 9:40
  I mean, worth it though, but.
• 9:42
  Yeah.
• 9:46
  We'll see if it's worth it
• 9:47
  because if I can't squat for another week,
• 9:49
  I'm.
• 9:51
  You have 30 days till quarters.
• 9:53
  When everything means a whole lot more.
• 9:57
  Now you have a small window
• 9:58
  to get into semis for the elite athletes.
• 10:03
  Jamie,
• 10:03
  I know her dream is to make it to a
• 10:05
  semifinal.
• 10:07
  Plus,
• 10:07
  she's sitting really pretty going
• 10:09
  into the Masters.
• 10:13
  So I want to talk about Carolyn first.
• 10:16
  You finished fifth in the Open.
• 10:20
  What is the process?
• 10:21
  Because we announced last
• 10:23
  week there is prize money
• 10:25
  for the top five,
• 10:27
  meaning you hit the top five.
• 10:29
  What is the process you have
• 10:30
  to go through with CrossFit
• 10:32
  at this point?
• 10:34
  That Monday night,
• 10:35
  I got an email from
• 10:36
  CrossFit asking for the
• 10:39
  links to all three of my videos.
• 10:41
  So it was like a Google Docs
• 10:43
  thingy or forms of some sort.
• 10:45
  I sent in all three of my
• 10:47
  links and haven't heard anything since.
• 10:50
  We had until Wednesday at 8 p.m.
• 10:54
  Eastern to submit those three links,
• 10:57
  but mine were already all downloaded.
• 10:58
  So within literally a minute
• 11:01
  of receiving the email, I was sent in.
• 11:06
  I don't know if they'll
• 11:07
  validate each one because
• 11:09
  in the quarters you get an
• 11:11
  email when you send in your video.
• 11:12
  It says score is approved or
• 11:16
  whatever they want to give.
• 11:17
  I don't know if I'm
• 11:19
  expecting something like
• 11:20
  that for each of the videos
• 11:22
  or if they're going to just
• 11:22
  go through the videos and
• 11:27
  then at the end just
• 11:28
  announce the top five.
• 11:29
  And we don't really hear
• 11:30
  anything until that announcement.
• 11:31
  I have no idea.
• 11:34
  That's crazy to me.
• 11:35
  Like,
• 11:35
  I would think it would be like
• 11:37
  quarters or at quarters
• 11:39
  when you submit your, your video,
• 11:41
  then you wait to get a validation on the,
• 11:44
  on your app for the submission.
• 11:47
  Um, but normally like every year I get,
• 11:51
  I send in my videos or off.
• 11:54
  Oftentimes I have to send in
• 11:55
  my videos in the open and in the open,
• 11:58
  I don't recall or get like,
• 11:59
  like receiving an email saying that the,
• 12:02
  like that the video was good.
• 12:04
  Yeah.
• 12:05
  I, I,
• 12:06
  I only remember it from the quarters
• 12:08
  and every year they'll ask
• 12:10
  normally like after week one with the,
• 12:11
  if you're within the top, whatever,
• 12:13
  like you would submit a video.
• 12:15
  You don't really hear back from it.
• 12:17
  Week two, you submit your video.
• 12:20
  So I don't know if I'm
• 12:22
  supposed to hear from them or not.
• 12:24
  Do you know if it was just a top five?
• 12:26
  I heard a rumor that they
• 12:28
  asked for the top 10.
• 12:30
  Yeah.
• 12:30
  I had heard the same rumor as well.
• 12:32
  Top 10.
• 12:33
  That's probably smart.
• 12:34
  Yeah,
• 12:35
  you have to go back because you don't
• 12:37
  want to just do top five.
• 12:38
  And then if there's anything,
• 12:39
  then you got to re-add or ask the top,
• 12:42
  you know, the rest of it.
• 12:43
  It's just wasting time now.
• 12:45
  Yeah.
• 12:46
  It's like there's that many
• 12:46
  videos to look at.
• 12:48
  Right.
• 12:48
  I'm glad that they asked all
• 12:50
  10 of you for all three videos.
• 12:52
  Like that's the way this
• 12:53
  process should go to pay out the open.
• 12:55
  I just think it, I thought maybe week one,
• 12:59
  they would start that process.
• 13:01
  to not do it like last minute on them.
• 13:03
  But I mean,
• 13:04
  I'm glad they're asking for this stuff.
• 13:06
  Cause I had,
• 13:07
  I had said week one to you guys, right?
• 13:09
  I was like, I was surprised that I,
• 13:10
  that was like that they
• 13:12
  hadn't asked for any videos.
• 13:13
  I was like, Oh, that's weird.
• 13:16
  Sarah Cooper says, go Carolyn team Canada.
• 13:21
  Um, it, it,
• 13:23
  it sounds to me like they only
• 13:27
  asked for the, the winner from each week.
• 13:31
  And now that they're at the
• 13:32
  money for the end,
• 13:34
  they're asking for the top
• 13:35
  10 to validate the top five.
• 13:38
  Yeah.
• 13:40
  So that's good.
• 13:42
  Yeah,
• 13:42
  because even if they gave a penalty
• 13:44
  to someone that's like in 40th,
• 13:47
  they're wasting their time.
• 13:48
  No offense, because it's not going to.
• 13:52
  That person's still going to
• 13:53
  qualify to quarterfinals.
• 13:55
  Like, even if you give a 20% penalty,
• 13:58
  if they're in the top 40, top 100,
• 14:00
  they're still so well into
• 14:03
  the zone of top 25% that why even do it?
• 14:09
  So I get it from the CrossFit, you know?
• 14:13
  Yeah.
• 14:13
  Totally.
• 14:15
  I've got more questions
• 14:16
  about that when we get a
• 14:16
  little bit further down.
• 14:18
  So, Jamie, you finished –
• 14:22
  You were going into the last
• 14:23
  week like in 97th, I think,
• 14:25
  like just inside the top 100.
• 14:28
  You finished like 121st?
• 14:31
  Yep, 121.
• 14:33
  This year overall in the world,
• 14:36
  not age group,
• 14:37
  but overall in the world at 40 years old.
• 14:41
  And you finished like top 40.
• 14:43
  I don't remember the exact
• 14:45
  number in North America East.
• 14:47
  31st.
• 14:52
  So what kind of confidence
• 14:55
  does that give you
• 14:56
  competing against the
• 14:58
  elites or does it not
• 15:00
  matter because the open doesn't matter?
• 15:03
  Yeah.
• 15:03
  That's what like sucks.
• 15:05
  Like it doesn't matter.
• 15:08
  So it's like, I can't,
• 15:09
  you can't even use it as
• 15:11
  any type of barometer
• 15:12
  because there's people like
• 15:13
  TM Brooke who really didn't
• 15:14
  even do the workout.
• 15:15
  And so, you know, there's people that,
• 15:20
  could do it, could edge you out.
• 15:23
  But like, yeah, it does.
• 15:28
  Still, that's still really good.
• 15:30
  Like, it's still...
• 15:32
  And people say they don't
• 15:33
  care about the open,
• 15:34
  but they're still going hard for whatever,
• 15:37
  whether they're doing one
• 15:38
  attempt or some of them are
• 15:40
  doing two attempts and
• 15:41
  they're just not saying
• 15:41
  they're doing two attempts.
• 15:43
  Like Roman redid it.
• 15:45
  He didn't have to redo it,
• 15:46
  but he redid it.
• 15:47
  Pat redid it.
• 15:48
  Cause he was close, but like,
• 15:49
  there's people that are still redoing it.
• 15:50
  So like,
• 15:52
  they're still trying for their one
• 15:54
  attempt if it's one.
• 15:55
  So I think it's still,
• 15:56
  it still shows you're like, you know,
• 15:59
  you're right there with the elites still.
• 16:03
  She has a world-class engine.
• 16:06
  Like that's for sure.
• 16:07
  Yeah.
• 16:08
  And that's where it's like, I,
• 16:09
  in a way I wish it mattered
• 16:12
  so that I could see where I
• 16:14
  am in things like that.
• 16:17
  Because like,
• 16:18
  I know Dave kind of touched
• 16:19
  on this point.
• 16:19
  Like, he's like,
• 16:20
  you can say the open doesn't matter,
• 16:22
  but like,
• 16:23
  and maybe things are
• 16:24
  changing a little bit to
• 16:25
  the point where it won't,
• 16:26
  but he has said like, historically,
• 16:28
  you can probably tell like
• 16:29
  the top five at the games
• 16:31
  based on looking at the open leaderboard.
• 16:33
  And, um,
• 16:36
  And I do feel like in a sense,
• 16:38
  the the because the open is
• 16:40
  like kind of the engine based stage.
• 16:43
  And then you also typically
• 16:44
  see like running a lot of
• 16:46
  running at the at the games
• 16:47
  like the games has more engine work.
• 16:52
  I always have felt like I
• 16:53
  would perform really well
• 16:54
  at the games if I could just get there.
• 16:55
  I can't get there because
• 16:56
  the middle stage is always the
• 16:59
  maxes really heavy at semis
• 17:01
  really heavy like there's
• 17:02
  always a lift in
• 17:03
  quarterfinals to get there
• 17:04
  like so I can't get there
• 17:07
  but I like I feel like the
• 17:09
  open is a pretty good
• 17:10
  pretty good representation
• 17:11
  representation of the games
• 17:13
  um minus a few things of
• 17:14
  course so it's like in a in
• 17:17
  a way for me I just wish it
• 17:18
  mattered a little bit so I
• 17:19
  could see where I would
• 17:20
  fall somewhat and just to
• 17:24
  throw everybody in you
• 17:25
  finished third in the world
• 17:27
  in your age group
• 17:30
  So you are solidly moving on
• 17:34
  in both venues.
• 17:36
  And this year it's cool
• 17:37
  because you get to compete
• 17:38
  in both with just one
• 17:39
  attempt by combining them this year,
• 17:43
  which I think is one of the
• 17:44
  smart moves that CrossFit has made.
• 17:46
  Yeah.
• 17:47
  Yeah.
• 17:47
  That's cool.
• 17:48
  I'm excited for that.
• 17:50
  I liked what,
• 17:52
  I think it was Paige Semenza.
• 17:55
  Either it was a story or it
• 17:57
  was a post or something.
• 17:58
  And she talked about like the opened up,
• 17:59
  like when people say like
• 18:01
  the open doesn't matter.
• 18:01
  And I feel like we've all
• 18:02
  said it as like elites,
• 18:04
  but it's like your own personal result.
• 18:07
  If you're an elite doesn't matter,
• 18:09
  but the open does matter in terms of like,
• 18:10
  if you're part of a community, like you,
• 18:13
  the open is like,
• 18:15
  it's kind of like sad to
• 18:17
  say that in front of people
• 18:19
  that like the open does matter to hold.
• 18:21
  If you go to the CrossFit gym like that,
• 18:23
  the open does matter.
• 18:24
  Like people are buying into it.
• 18:25
  People are trying to, you know,
• 18:28
  do the best that they can.
• 18:29
  And it's like,
• 18:30
  like you can say your result
• 18:32
  on the leaderboard doesn't matter,
• 18:33
  but I don't think it's fair
• 18:34
  to say like the whole open
• 18:35
  doesn't matter because it
• 18:36
  is a very important stage
• 18:37
  for everyone in our community.
• 18:39
  And it's like, you know, you can run,
• 18:42
  um a you know sign up for a
• 18:45
  race or whatever sport you
• 18:46
  want to do right like you
• 18:48
  can train it train for a
• 18:50
  10k or a marathon and do it
• 18:52
  whenever but then it's like
• 18:54
  you still want to sign up
• 18:55
  and see how how well you
• 18:56
  can do it's like that's
• 18:59
  that's why you sign up for
• 18:59
  the open that's why these
• 19:00
  members do do the open so
• 19:02
  it's like it still matters
• 19:04
  so I like that from um
• 19:07
  It just kind of was like, you know, yeah,
• 19:09
  I think we have to stop
• 19:10
  saying like the open
• 19:11
  doesn't matter because it
• 19:13
  is very important for a lot
• 19:14
  of people in our community.
• 19:15
  And it's just like your own
• 19:16
  personal result, I guess,
• 19:18
  isn't you're not, you know.
• 19:21
  And I saw that post earlier today.
• 19:23
  What I liked about it is this.
• 19:24
  She said because she was
• 19:25
  part of the community this
• 19:26
  year and let herself be a
• 19:28
  part of the community.
• 19:29
  It was important to her again.
• 19:30
  Yeah.
• 19:31
  Her result may not have been
• 19:33
  exactly important to move on.
• 19:35
  but she got to enjoy the
• 19:36
  open with her community.
• 19:40
  Yeah.
• 19:40
  A great post if you haven't seen it.
• 19:43
  I do agree with that,
• 19:44
  and I've wrestled back and
• 19:46
  forth with that because I
• 19:47
  do think it is important for, like,
• 19:48
  the elites to be a part of the community.
• 19:51
  And if this is what it takes is, like,
• 19:53
  a little less pressure, like,
• 19:54
  you don't need to go do it
• 19:56
  at noon or without the community or, like,
• 19:59
  just come in and get it done.
• 20:00
  And, I mean,
• 20:02
  you would think they'd still
• 20:03
  have a pretty darn good
• 20:04
  score even not stressing over it.
• 20:07
  Absolutely.
• 20:09
  But I've tried to think,
• 20:11
  is there a way to make it
• 20:13
  matter some way?
• 20:15
  Could you take your placement into,
• 20:19
  not your score, but if you're fifth,
• 20:21
  you're fifth going into quarters.
• 20:24
  You have five on the board,
• 20:25
  and I have 121 on the board
• 20:26
  going into quarters.
• 20:28
  It's just hard because of
• 20:30
  the... They would have to
• 20:31
  validate videos and
• 20:32
  actually look into it because... Agree.
• 20:36
  I don't think it can transfer...
• 20:39
  if there's not a thorough
• 20:42
  video review process.
• 20:44
  But I do like that idea
• 20:46
  because what I hated every year is like,
• 20:49
  you start back over at zero,
• 20:51
  but I still did something
• 20:53
  and you still did something in the open
• 20:56
  these these style of tests
• 20:58
  should still be a part of a
• 21:00
  like they're like oh like
• 21:01
  we don't need to test that
• 21:02
  because we've already
• 21:03
  tested it but it's like but
• 21:05
  it's not counting so it's
• 21:06
  not counting anymore right
• 21:09
  so yeah I don't know like I
• 21:13
  wish there was a way that
• 21:15
  your performance could
• 21:16
  still carry over at a
• 21:18
  certain point yeah me too
• 21:23
  I think you hit the nail on the head,
• 21:24
  Carolyn, though.
• 21:25
  Like, without video validation,
• 21:27
  it's impossible.
• 21:29
  Correct.
• 21:30
  But they did it in the Masters for so long,
• 21:33
  right?
• 21:33
  Like,
• 21:33
  your open score was one of your scores,
• 21:39
  if I remember.
• 21:40
  They only did it the first year.
• 21:42
  And then it was so weighted,
• 21:44
  and it caused so much grief.
• 21:48
  I think they did away with it.
• 21:51
  I thought they did it for a
• 21:53
  few years or something like that.
• 21:55
  But regardless, it's just,
• 21:57
  it would be too hard, I think.
• 22:01
  I think with the bandwidth
• 22:03
  of Headquarters HQ,
• 22:05
  they just couldn't right now.
• 22:07
  Right.
• 22:07
  Yes.
• 22:09
  Even if they were to open up
• 22:10
  the videos to everyone post,
• 22:13
  it still wouldn't be enough.
• 22:14
  People aren't going to look
• 22:14
  at every single, it's just, no.
• 22:18
  Yeah, way too much.
• 22:21
  So my notes got a little bit
• 22:22
  out of order and kind of messed up.
• 22:24
  But I'm going to go to
• 22:27
  CrossFit announced the
• 22:29
  official winners of 24.3.
• 22:34
  And that was Yonikoski and Rebecca Fusile.
• 22:39
  It did not come without its controversy.
• 22:41
  A lot of people speculating
• 22:46
  that Rebecca did not come
• 22:47
  to full extension.
• 22:50
  I guess my first question to
• 22:51
  you is what is your opinion?
• 22:54
  Did you see her video and
• 22:56
  what are your thoughts?
• 23:00
  I can start.
• 23:01
  I,
• 23:02
  I saw it like immediately and I was like,
• 23:06
  oh my gosh,
• 23:06
  like those are not full extension.
• 23:10
  And I know she's got her whole,
• 23:13
  I like Rebecca.
• 23:15
  I just,
• 23:16
  I think this is the same thing with
• 23:17
  the deadlifts.
• 23:19
  like you don't penalize this.
• 23:22
  She,
• 23:22
  you can specifically tell like a stark
• 23:24
  difference between the 65
• 23:26
  pound and the 95 pound bar.
• 23:28
  And that right there should
• 23:29
  tell you something like,
• 23:31
  I don't necessarily care
• 23:32
  that her elbows bent.
• 23:33
  I care that it's like here on the 65.
• 23:37
  She's only going to hear,
• 23:38
  she's not here with about elbow.
• 23:40
  She's out front.
• 23:42
  So like, I, I did not see that, but okay.
• 23:48
  I didn't think she was that
• 23:49
  much out front.
• 23:52
  I didn't think she was that
• 23:52
  much out front.
• 23:53
  It's more just, I think,
• 23:54
  the angle of her elbow.
• 23:59
  And, like, I have trouble, like,
• 24:01
  if I wear a T-shirt, like,
• 24:03
  sometimes it looks like I have a bend,
• 24:05
  but it's just the way that literally my,
• 24:07
  like, the way my bicep looks like this.
• 24:08
  Like,
• 24:09
  whenever I do a double kettlebell
• 24:10
  overhead, like, some people have, like,
• 24:12
  a hyper-extended elbow, like,
• 24:15
  when they catch a jerk like
• 24:16
  when I catch my jerk I'm
• 24:17
  here and it's like this is
• 24:19
  my lockout and it's like
• 24:21
  it'll look so it's like
• 24:23
  when she was explaining it
• 24:24
  I i don't know I could
• 24:26
  understand it and I could
• 24:27
  see like the whole so
• 24:30
  where's where she won me
• 24:32
  over where she won me over
• 24:35
  is there is a restricted
• 24:36
  movement clause that if you
• 24:38
  tell your judge that you
• 24:40
  have restricted movement
• 24:41
  and it is and you talk
• 24:42
  about it before the event
• 24:44
  now you know online that
• 24:46
  makes it a little bit
• 24:47
  difficult um but you tell
• 24:49
  them that she showed video
• 24:51
  of her doing handstand
• 24:52
  walks pulls hangs and the
• 24:56
  bend is still in the arm
• 24:59
  Yeah, her jerks.
• 25:00
  I've seen her move countless times,
• 25:04
  like the double kettlebell, her jerks,
• 25:07
  like everything.
• 25:08
  You can see the elbow,
• 25:11
  like the soft-looking elbow,
• 25:13
  but it's not.
• 25:13
  It's just like that's her.
• 25:14
  Honestly, she could probably pause more.
• 25:20
  She would have still worked out.
• 25:23
  She was so far in front of
• 25:25
  the second place.
• 25:27
  So let's say the 65,
• 25:30
  let's say she did just
• 25:32
  pause that brief second.
• 25:34
  There's no difference in what she does.
• 25:36
  She just pauses.
• 25:38
  I think that would make you feel better,
• 25:39
  right, Jamie?
• 25:41
  It would for sure make me feel better.
• 25:42
  Same position, same angle, everything,
• 25:45
  but there's a slight pause
• 25:46
  because you're like, oh,
• 25:47
  I guess that's the end point right there.
• 25:51
  If there was a split second,
• 25:52
  it would look probably better.
• 25:57
  The cumulative fatigue of
• 25:58
  doing that is what she's
• 26:01
  missing that other people are getting,
• 26:02
  but she's locked out at her elbow.
• 26:04
  That's the thing is she's
• 26:06
  still getting that cumulative.
• 26:07
  Like she, that, that, like, that's,
• 26:09
  I think, I think from her elbow, like,
• 26:11
  that's what it's hard to like,
• 26:13
  I don't know.
• 26:14
  I don't have that.
• 26:16
  I personally think there's
• 26:17
  quite a difference between
• 26:18
  the 65 and the 95 with the, where it,
• 26:22
  where it ends up.
• 26:22
  Yeah.
• 26:24
  yeah um I I was looking at
• 26:26
  the elbow so specifically
• 26:31
  when trying to prepare for
• 26:32
  this show I'm trying to
• 26:33
  watch so many things to
• 26:34
  kind of catch up like I'm
• 26:36
  just looking for spot
• 26:37
  things but I think Andrew's
• 26:39
  missing a word or something
• 26:40
  because I'm having a hard
• 26:41
  time understanding this I
• 26:42
  disagree I can that her
• 26:45
  elbows can't extend that like that
• 26:48
  I don't know if it's I can
• 26:49
  tell or I can't tell.
• 26:51
  Her elbows can't extend like that.
• 26:53
  After judging so many
• 26:54
  athletes that have elbow issues,
• 26:56
  I can spot it.
• 26:59
  So I don't know who he's disagreeing with,
• 27:03
  but hopefully he can clear
• 27:05
  that up for us.
• 27:07
  But I think regardless,
• 27:08
  she would have won the
• 27:08
  workout had she even paused
• 27:13
  for a split second.
• 27:15
  But I don't think that's like
• 27:17
  But like her depth is fine on the squat.
• 27:20
  Her bar muscle ups were good.
• 27:23
  Like her feet aren't rising above the bar,
• 27:25
  which you'll see from people.
• 27:27
  Her chest to bar was fine.
• 27:31
  Like I didn't see it so much in front.
• 27:33
  For me, it was more the elbow locked.
• 27:35
  And again,
• 27:36
  depending on the angle of the video,
• 27:38
  as we've seen, you know,
• 27:39
  where you place your camera can affect.
• 27:42
  So like was,
• 27:43
  did the barbell shift just a
• 27:45
  tiny bit of an angle?
• 27:46
  So now when she got to the
• 27:47
  barbell in those 95,
• 27:49
  all of a sudden you're
• 27:51
  seeing a slightly different
• 27:53
  angle than where the barbell rolled.
• 27:55
  You know, like we don't know.
• 27:57
  Even though the camera's in the same angle,
• 27:59
  that barbell's not in the exact same spot,
• 28:02
  but the speed is definitely
• 28:05
  faster in the first one.
• 28:07
  It's hard.
• 28:09
  I don't know.
• 28:11
  It's hard.
• 28:12
  If there was no elbow issue, you'd be like,
• 28:14
  okay, yes.
• 28:15
  No.
• 28:16
  But with her video explanation, I'm like,
• 28:19
  okay, I get it.
• 28:22
  And I've seen her every comp
• 28:24
  with the elbow sleeve and
• 28:26
  and trouble with the lockout
• 28:27
  and she catches and it's here.
• 28:29
  I don't know.
• 28:34
  So like we talked about last week, um,
• 28:37
  Yona winning or taking
• 28:39
  second in the second
• 28:41
  workout and first in the third,
• 28:44
  that's a pretty varied
• 28:47
  style for the two movements.
• 28:50
  What, what does that say for Yona winning?
• 28:52
  And he won the open overall, uh,
• 28:54
  What does that say for him
• 28:55
  going into the season?
• 29:00
  He's fit.
• 29:00
  He's always been,
• 29:01
  he's always done well in the open.
• 29:02
  These are great workouts for him.
• 29:04
  I don't think it says too much,
• 29:06
  not nothing that we don't
• 29:07
  already know about him.
• 29:08
  Like he's not an unknown.
• 29:10
  If it was an unknown person, you'd be like,
• 29:11
  Oh, we've got to watch out, but he's,
• 29:14
  we know he's fit.
• 29:14
  Like he's,
• 29:16
  he's battled some injuries in
• 29:17
  the last two years.
• 29:18
  I think that he hasn't
• 29:21
  performed sometimes as well,
• 29:22
  but he had a great season last year.
• 29:23
  I think.
• 29:26
  Nothing new.
• 29:30
  Lex says, I mean, I get it.
• 29:33
  I've had Tommy John surgery
• 29:34
  in October and have a torn labrum still,
• 29:37
  and the positioning isn't
• 29:38
  great for me either.
• 29:39
  A full lockout is rough when
• 29:42
  you've had surgery.
• 29:43
  The ligaments aren't the same.
• 29:46
  Well, Lex has had 72 surgeries.
• 29:48
  So I'm not sure she's the best example.
• 29:52
  But no,
• 29:52
  I think she's talking also about
• 29:54
  Foussier's had surgeries on her elbows.
• 29:57
  I was just giving her a hard time.
• 29:58
  Yeah, she has had many.
• 30:02
  It's just tough.
• 30:04
  I would have liked to have
• 30:04
  seen maybe a couple different angles,
• 30:05
  but we don't have that, right?
• 30:07
  And we don't know if she
• 30:08
  sent maybe a couple
• 30:08
  different angles to CrossFit.
• 30:11
  I think she showed a different angle.
• 30:13
  Well, she has two different videos.
• 30:17
  Yeah, she has two different.
• 30:19
  Yeah.
• 30:20
  Kenneth asks, what's worse,
• 30:22
  the no reps on 24-2 or 24-3?
• 30:27
  In general, in general, 24.3.
• 30:30
  Yeah.
• 30:33
  Because the deadlift is no offense.
• 30:35
  You kind of irrelevant in
• 30:37
  the 24.2 for the elite.
• 30:39
  So even if they want moderate,
• 30:44
  like lockout extension,
• 30:48
  doing that on 24.3 is a way
• 30:50
  bigger factor on the workout.
• 30:53
  If you're not hitting depth
• 30:54
  or the lockout position, then
• 30:58
  what the deadlift would do for the result.
• 31:01
  Because it was more about
• 31:02
  the rope pace and it was
• 31:03
  more about your execution
• 31:05
  on the double unders.
• 31:06
  So for me, it would be by far 24.3.
• 31:09
  Would be more worse.
• 31:13
  Totally agree.
• 31:15
  I think my biggest grief on
• 31:17
  24.2 is 90% of the people
• 31:21
  didn't lock out the deadlift at the top.
• 31:24
  And they picked one to make an example of,
• 31:27
  and that to me was just wrong.
• 31:29
  Agreed.
• 31:32
  Especially for 200 reps penalty.
• 31:34
  Insane.
• 31:35
  Yeah, that's crazy.
• 31:37
  In a movement that was
• 31:38
  insignificant to the elites, really.
• 31:40
  Right.
• 31:42
  Yeah.
• 31:44
  I know back here someone
• 31:45
  said justice for Tudor.
• 31:48
  There we go.
• 31:49
  Justice for Tudor.
• 31:50
  Yeah, it's not right.
• 31:54
  So there's that.
• 31:57
  We also had the Tia and Brooke situation.
• 32:02
  My biggest questions are, one,
• 32:05
  is this going to set a precedence?
• 32:08
  Are elite athletes now going
• 32:09
  to look at the open?
• 32:10
  And injury or not, like Brooke and Tia,
• 32:14
  I think,
• 32:14
  had valid reasons to not push through.
• 32:18
  They need to survive to the next round.
• 32:21
  But elite athletes can look
• 32:22
  at that and say, well, heck,
• 32:25
  I can have a 25,000th
• 32:26
  finish and still move on.
• 32:32
  Are more elite athletes
• 32:34
  going to bow out on certain
• 32:36
  workouts if they know they
• 32:38
  can do just enough to get through?
• 32:42
  It's entirely possible.
• 32:47
  I think no.
• 32:49
  I think you want to have confidence.
• 32:51
  We don't get to measure each
• 32:52
  other against everyone in
• 32:53
  the world very often.
• 32:55
  The Open is that time.
• 32:57
  You've gone almost a full
• 32:59
  year of training.
• 33:01
  You can do an online
• 33:02
  qualifier somewhere where
• 33:03
  you get a certain amount of
• 33:05
  people that you get to compare against.
• 33:07
  Now you've got the whole field at play.
• 33:10
  I want to see where I'm at
• 33:11
  at this point in the season.
• 33:12
  I want to get confidence
• 33:14
  going into the season.
• 33:16
  I want to perform well.
• 33:17
  I want to do well just myself.
• 33:19
  I know for me,
• 33:20
  I wouldn't just throw it in
• 33:22
  the bag to the point where
• 33:23
  I'd get just going through the motions.
• 33:27
  I still want to put in a great effort.
• 33:30
  That's me personally, but I'm competitive.
• 33:33
  I was just going to say,
• 33:34
  the two of you are probably
• 33:35
  two of the most competitive
• 33:36
  people I've ever met.
• 33:40
  I could never see you guys doing that.
• 33:45
  I just see someone that...
• 33:49
  And not that I think Brent would do this,
• 33:51
  but like someone who is
• 33:52
  very strategic about everything he does,
• 33:56
  like looking at it and analyzing,
• 33:58
  I should sit out and train
• 34:01
  through this and just do
• 34:03
  enough to get through and
• 34:05
  then really push hard.
• 34:08
  And Brent's someone who's
• 34:08
  never really done great at
• 34:10
  the Open anyway.
• 34:10
  Right.
• 34:11
  Right.
• 34:13
  But I think it's a missed opportunity.
• 34:15
  I think it's a missed
• 34:16
  opportunity to do your camera setups,
• 34:20
  to push the envelope,
• 34:23
  to maybe redo a workout and
• 34:26
  learn from stuff because
• 34:27
  you got quarterfinals in a
• 34:28
  month and this is prep season.
• 34:31
  I did an online comp before
• 34:34
  the Open so that I'm ready
• 34:36
  because all of these young
• 34:37
  people that are coming up
• 34:38
  through the teen division, for instance,
• 34:41
  They're good at open.
• 34:42
  Why?
• 34:42
  Because an online qualifiers,
• 34:44
  because that's all their
• 34:45
  season is online.
• 34:47
  So if you don't, if you're not good online,
• 34:49
  you're not making it to the
• 34:50
  semis or the games.
• 34:51
  And I know it's super
• 34:52
  competitive in the East.
• 34:53
  So like I did an online comp
• 34:56
  prior to the open,
• 34:56
  just to get myself ready
• 34:58
  and to get an intensity
• 35:00
  that I don't get normally.
• 35:02
  Like,
• 35:02
  I want to feel like this soreness
• 35:03
  that I felt and still feel this weekend.
• 35:06
  Like I'm going to feel that
• 35:07
  at quarterfinals.
• 35:08
  And if you're not,
• 35:10
  doing that at some point in your training,
• 35:12
  you can do a mock weekend all you want,
• 35:15
  but you're still not at the
• 35:17
  intensity that you would
• 35:19
  like the quarterfinals, like a semifinals,
• 35:21
  like the open when you're
• 35:22
  actually pushing.
• 35:23
  And I think it would be a
• 35:24
  missed opportunity to not
• 35:27
  go to that spot a month before once,
• 35:31
  at least one workout of the weekend,
• 35:33
  you can put your training
• 35:34
  to the side and put your
• 35:35
  head down and go for it.
• 35:38
  Yeah.
• 35:39
  Yeah.
• 35:39
  I feel like Hopper said that too.
• 35:40
  Like he was using that
• 35:41
  Taylor verse Hopper as like competition.
• 35:45
  Yeah.
• 35:46
  Like let's try to redline here.
• 35:47
  Let's see how hard I can go
• 35:49
  out and hang on.
• 35:51
  Um, yeah, I mean, I, that's kind of why,
• 35:54
  partly why I redid them.
• 35:55
  Cause I was totally missing
• 35:57
  that intensity in all of my
• 35:59
  first attempts.
• 36:03
  So do you think you're
• 36:04
  better for retesting?
• 36:07
  that you'll be able to ramp
• 36:08
  up the intensity better come quarters?
• 36:13
  Yeah.
• 36:13
  So like the last two years I
• 36:15
  didn't redo at all.
• 36:16
  And I was just like one and done.
• 36:17
  You don't get the
• 36:18
  opportunity to redo at comps.
• 36:21
  So you need to learn to do
• 36:22
  it the first time.
• 36:25
  And I feel like I went
• 36:26
  pretty hard last year, but like, I,
• 36:27
  I feel like I pushed myself
• 36:29
  harder this year.
• 36:31
  So I don't know.
• 36:31
  Like, and I don't like,
• 36:32
  I don't want to have to
• 36:34
  have to take that.
• 36:35
  Right.
• 36:35
  Like I want to be able to
• 36:36
  just do it one time.
• 36:38
  I want to be able to just go
• 36:38
  out there and plan
• 36:40
  accordingly and do it correctly.
• 36:42
  Um, so yeah, I don't know.
• 36:46
  And it's also your highest
• 36:47
  open finish ever.
• 36:48
  Yeah.
• 36:52
  Could be a correlation there.
• 36:54
  Yeah.
• 36:54
  So Jamie Lex and Brooke all
• 36:59
  have the same entry.
• 37:03
  Will Brooke be ready for quarters?
• 37:12
  So we got three more weeks?
• 37:17
  Ish, yeah.
• 37:20
  It gave me a little bit of
• 37:22
  pause that that was her
• 37:23
  first chest of arms she'd
• 37:24
  done in eight weeks.
• 37:25
  And she still hasn't done a bar muscle up.
• 37:27
  And she did kipping.
• 37:29
  Yeah.
• 37:32
  There's for sure going to be
• 37:33
  a ring muscle ups and more rig.
• 37:37
  I would assume there's going
• 37:38
  to be more test bar of some sort.
• 37:42
  Her issue is going to be,
• 37:44
  and it's the same issue
• 37:45
  when you have a weakness in a movement.
• 37:48
  If you're,
• 37:48
  let's say you're bad at gymnastics.
• 37:50
  If like I'm bad at double
• 37:51
  unders and that's a main
• 37:54
  one that's in one workout.
• 37:57
  If there's one workout that
• 37:58
  has chest to bars and something else,
• 38:00
  and there's a second
• 38:01
  workout that has ring
• 38:02
  muscle ups and other things,
• 38:04
  and possibly a third
• 38:05
  workout that has another
• 38:06
  gymnastics movement that
• 38:07
  has that rotational
• 38:09
  movement that's hurting her,
• 38:11
  now she's gonna have three
• 38:13
  scored events that is
• 38:14
  affecting her points.
• 38:17
  You can get away with it.
• 38:18
  Maybe with one event,
• 38:20
  she needs to hope that the
• 38:21
  whole fricking kitchen sink
• 38:22
  is all thrown.
• 38:22
  All the moments she doesn't
• 38:23
  like almost is like in, in one,
• 38:25
  if she can't do something
• 38:26
  and then crush everything else.
• 38:28
  Cause that's how I do it at
• 38:29
  the games with the swimming event.
• 38:30
  That's how I got to survive
• 38:32
  my double under workouts.
• 38:34
  The moment things are separated,
• 38:37
  she will be in trouble.
• 38:38
  I think.
• 38:40
  Yeah.
• 38:40
  It,
• 38:41
  it doesn't help her cause that they've
• 38:42
  taken 25%.
• 38:43
  Um,
• 38:46
  you know,
• 38:46
  like now you're competing with three,
• 38:49
  4,000 people who all might
• 38:50
  be able to start to edge
• 38:52
  you out on a few things.
• 38:53
  And that's really going to
• 38:54
  knock you down for a four,
• 38:56
  like 40 spots is tough when,
• 39:00
  and how many does North
• 39:01
  America used to have out?
• 39:02
  Like, I know,
• 39:03
  I know not all of them are
• 39:04
  going to sign up,
• 39:05
  but isn't it like something
• 39:06
  like eight or nine,
• 39:07
  eight or 9,000 women are
• 39:09
  moving on or is that too much?
• 39:11
  I don't know.
• 39:11
  Probably too much, but something like,
• 39:14
  let's call it 5,000, five to 6,000.
• 39:16
  Yeah.
• 39:17
  It's a lot.
• 39:18
  Even if 2,500 of those 2,000 sign up,
• 39:21
  if like,
• 39:23
  that's a lot of people to compete
• 39:24
  against.
• 39:25
  Like, that's what, I mean,
• 39:26
  I know that's going to like
• 39:27
  completely derail me.
• 39:28
  There's going to be a lift of some,
• 39:30
  of some sort or like a exponential,
• 39:34
  like a gated workout that
• 39:35
  gets up to super heavy and
• 39:36
  there's going to be lots of
• 39:39
  people that can outlift me.
• 39:40
  Um, like she said,
• 39:42
  she said she could snatch
• 39:44
  and do other things.
• 39:45
  It's just,
• 39:45
  I think it's just that
• 39:47
  rotational type of.
• 39:51
  Yeah, it's the kipping.
• 39:54
  I think it's that like swing through.
• 39:56
  Um, so again,
• 39:59
  if those movements are in
• 40:01
  several different workouts,
• 40:02
  there's going to be an issue.
• 40:04
  If it's in one, she'll, she'll,
• 40:06
  I think she can make it.
• 40:08
  They're not going to be,
• 40:10
  I'd be curious how like
• 40:11
  handstand walk and
• 40:13
  handstand pushups are for her.
• 40:15
  Um,
• 40:15
  it seems to me that we have either it's
• 40:17
  on the opposite side or
• 40:18
  mine's more torn or
• 40:20
  something because I can't like,
• 40:23
  I feel like I can't really
• 40:24
  do like the lifts.
• 40:26
  Like,
• 40:29
  I don't know.
• 40:29
  And it could be a function of,
• 40:31
  I'm just not comfortable.
• 40:32
  I know that's my weakness.
• 40:34
  So I'm already in my head,
• 40:36
  like scared to catch a
• 40:37
  barbell and she just might
• 40:39
  be more confident in her lifting.
• 40:40
  Um,
• 40:43
  like total bar definitely hurts it.
• 40:46
  Um, but the fact that like,
• 40:48
  she like says she can't
• 40:49
  even like hang on the rig is like,
• 40:50
  I don't know.
• 40:51
  I'm curious.
• 40:52
  I'm curious how you can
• 40:53
  still snatch heavy and not do like,
• 40:57
  that makes, that makes no sense to me.
• 40:59
  Handstand pushups bother me.
• 41:01
  Things like that.
• 41:02
  Like, I don't know.
• 41:03
  So I'd be curious on handstand pushups.
• 41:05
  Cause those won't be in the same workout.
• 41:07
  I would assume.
• 41:08
  And like, I'm just curious.
• 41:09
  Cause it's like, she,
• 41:10
  she didn't even attempt one.
• 41:13
  Like, that's the thing.
• 41:14
  It's like, like she sent her a video.
• 41:16
  She'll be fine by quarters.
• 41:17
  And it's like precautionary, but it's,
• 41:20
  I'm like, you, you couldn't do one.
• 41:23
  Just, you know, one.
• 41:27
  That's a red flag.
• 41:29
  know she can say that to
• 41:30
  maybe convince herself
• 41:32
  mentally and to maybe shut
• 41:34
  it down publicly but if
• 41:38
  you're not doing one a
• 41:40
  month out it's still pretty
• 41:44
  early I'm assuming in the
• 41:45
  injury I've never had that
• 41:46
  injury but it's got to be
• 41:49
  nerve-wracking because it's
• 41:51
  going to be high volume
• 41:52
  there's gonna there's
• 41:55
  think it's gonna be multiple
• 41:55
  movements like I think
• 41:56
  toast bar will be in one in
• 41:58
  one workout and I think
• 41:59
  ring muscle-ups will be in
• 42:00
  another like I i agree and
• 42:02
  if there's only five scored
• 42:03
  events and there's two
• 42:06
  different scores that she
• 42:07
  can struggle on she's not
• 42:08
  making top 40 right yeah
• 42:14
  feel it lex says I couldn't
• 42:15
  do a pull or total bar for
• 42:16
  months lex I'm curious
• 42:18
  could you like did
• 42:19
  handstand push-ups or
• 42:20
  handstand walking bother you at all
• 42:22
  was it just him or just alex
• 42:25
  are you talking about your
• 42:25
  labrum like for your
• 42:27
  shoulder or your elbow
• 42:28
  because hers is her
• 42:30
  shoulder she she had yeah
• 42:33
  uh hers is her um shoulder
• 42:36
  that's injured right for
• 42:37
  for brooke it's not her
• 42:38
  elbow that was her elbow is
• 42:40
  her previous injury yeah
• 42:42
  okay correct yep okay
• 42:43
  because lex also has that
• 42:45
  from her from wadapalooza
• 42:46
  from a few years ago at the the rings
• 42:49
  Oh, geez.
• 42:51
  So what I think is very
• 42:52
  indicative of this injury, Jamie has it,
• 42:56
  Lex has it,
• 42:57
  what they can and can't do is
• 42:58
  very different.
• 43:01
  So I think it all depends on
• 43:02
  where it is and how bad the tear is.
• 43:10
  Yeah.
• 43:11
  So...
• 43:13
  my last injury her first two
• 43:15
  events were great though
• 43:16
  because she was she was
• 43:18
  within the top 15 I think
• 43:20
  she was top 10 or something
• 43:22
  um because she was one of
• 43:24
  the scores I was waiting on
• 43:25
  on the monday because I'm
• 43:26
  like okay there's tia needs
• 43:28
  to post brook needs to post
• 43:29
  I was waiting for the one
• 43:30
  girl from um switzerland or
• 43:36
  something like that but
• 43:39
  I was like, oh.
• 43:40
  And then I saw her score.
• 43:41
  I was like, oh, Brooke did post.
• 43:43
  And I was like, whoa, what happened?
• 43:49
  Coach Krispy Kreme says,
• 43:51
  shoulders are really
• 43:52
  different from person to person.
• 43:54
  And Lex clarifies, I have a slap tear,
• 43:57
  but my shoulder didn't dislocate.
• 44:00
  Yours didn't either, right, Jamie?
• 44:02
  No, it did.
• 44:03
  Oh, it did.
• 44:04
  Yeah.
• 44:04
  That's how I knew I did something wrong.
• 44:07
  That's why they x-rayed it,
• 44:08
  because I felt it come out of socket.
• 44:12
  Wow.
• 44:14
  And you're still third in your division.
• 44:17
  Yeah, but it's going to hurt.
• 44:20
  There's going to be some
• 44:21
  stuff that come up that are
• 44:22
  a big problem.
• 44:27
  Yeah.
• 44:27
  Okay.
• 44:28
  So I did want to...
• 44:32
  show some of Holly's stats real quick.
• 44:38
  I'll do this one first.
• 44:39
  I guess we'll do this first.
• 44:43
  What I found interesting,
• 44:44
  I'm going to share my screen.
• 44:50
  So this is from Data Wad.
• 44:53
  She actually looked at like
• 44:54
  how many people submitted
• 44:57
  scores from week to week
• 45:00
  and what was the loss
• 45:04
  And so here from the men,
• 45:06
  from week one to week two,
• 45:08
  we lost 6,000 men.
• 45:09
  From week two to week three,
• 45:13
  12,097 for a total of
• 45:13
  18,523 people who signed up
• 45:14
  for the Open and did not
• 45:16
  submit a score from week
• 45:17
  one to week three.
• 45:30
  On the women's side,
• 45:30
  it was 4,000 from week one to week two,
• 45:32
  12 from week two to week three,
• 45:33
  and 16,700 from week one to week three.
• 45:43
  And she has this for every age group.
• 45:46
  She has this for every region.
• 45:49
  So if you want to see this,
• 45:51
  go out to either data wad
• 45:53
  on Instagram or our own
• 45:55
  Instagram Clyde zone media,
• 45:57
  and you can look through
• 45:58
  some of these stats.
• 46:00
  In addition to this,
• 46:02
  she looked at kind of like,
• 46:05
  does the open matter.
• 46:09
  and um and she did this by
• 46:12
  by region so we're going to
• 46:13
  look at it this way and it
• 46:16
  is whether they did better
• 46:18
  or worse from the 23 to the 24.
• 46:25
  the arrow is either pointing
• 46:26
  down up or straight across
• 46:29
  depending on how they did
• 46:30
  um and so this is north
• 46:33
  america west you can see
• 46:35
  whether people improved
• 46:37
  their score or got worse
• 46:40
  like look at bethany
• 46:40
  shadburn or flores 815th
• 46:44
  and 23 barely knew if she
• 46:46
  was coming back or not this year 132.
• 46:53
  And then you go to North America East.
• 46:59
  Danielle Brandon got better.
• 47:00
  Emma Lawson got worse.
• 47:03
  Alexis Raptus,
• 47:04
  like a lot of people dropped,
• 47:05
  but then Fisa Goffin did so much better.
• 47:07
  Shelby Neal so much better.
• 47:09
  Caroline Stanley, Paige Semenza.
• 47:14
  So just a kind of an
• 47:15
  interesting take from regions and from
• 47:20
  And she has this overall and
• 47:23
  the age groups as well.
• 47:27
  Interesting.
• 47:30
  So I think this is a big
• 47:32
  indicator how seriously
• 47:34
  people took it maybe this
• 47:36
  year compared to last year.
• 47:38
  From this list when I look,
• 47:40
  the one that stands out the
• 47:41
  most to me is Lawson.
• 47:43
  She's so good online.
• 47:45
  Even if she doesn't try,
• 47:46
  I feel like she's top 10.
• 47:49
  She's so good at this stuff.
• 47:50
  Amanda was unable to do the third workout.
• 47:53
  She's out for the season.
• 47:55
  She didn't do it.
• 48:15
  Amanda did Barnhart.
• 48:17
  She did the final workout.
• 48:18
  She got like 1228.
• 48:20
  Yeah.
• 48:20
  It was like the same as me.
• 48:21
  Like, like I,
• 48:23
  I assumed she would finish
• 48:24
  her on my score with her.
• 48:26
  Amanda did it.
• 48:27
  Okay.
• 48:29
  Cause I remember her posting about it,
• 48:31
  that this was going to be
• 48:32
  her worst finish.
• 48:35
  And it still wasn't,
• 48:36
  it honestly was a decent score.
• 48:38
  I mean,
• 48:39
  I wasn't like overjoyed with my score,
• 48:41
  but it was still fine.
• 48:42
  1228.
• 48:43
  Yeah.
• 48:43
  Yeah.
• 48:45
  Yeah, I think this one, like, finishing it,
• 48:49
  even for, like,
• 48:51
  just if you're close to that semifinal,
• 48:53
  you know, like, if you're finishing it,
• 48:56
  that's a good score.
• 48:57
  That's a very good score, I should say.
• 48:59
  Not just good.
• 49:02
  So make sure to check that out.
• 49:03
  Holly puts a lot of work in
• 49:04
  every week during the Open.
• 49:06
  I'm sure she's going to do
• 49:07
  stuff for quarters just like that.
• 49:10
  And she comes up with
• 49:11
  different things every week,
• 49:12
  so it's fun to kind of look
• 49:13
  at and see how her mind is
• 49:16
  working and what she's looking at.
• 49:20
  So with that,
• 49:22
  CrossFit made an announcement today,
• 49:25
  a press release,
• 49:27
  talking about their
• 49:29
  successes from the Open this year.
• 49:34
  and that they set records
• 49:35
  for live stream for
• 49:37
  workouts 24-1 and 24-2.
• 49:37
  They had 198,000 streams and
• 49:38
  173,000 streams,
• 49:38
  and those are concurrent live streams,
• 49:40
  respectively, for a total of 391,000.
• 49:41
  I'm sorry,
• 49:41
  a total of 391,000 viewers
• 49:42
  watched the announcement of
• 49:42
  CrossFit Open 24-3 during
• 49:44
  the first 24 hours after the live show.
• 50:04
  So still pretty good,
• 50:08
  pretty good numbers for live streams.
• 50:11
  The registration,
• 50:13
  they don't point out what
• 50:14
  Holly did that people didn't continue on,
• 50:17
  but more than 343,500
• 50:18
  athletes from 185 countries
• 50:19
  participated in the 24 CrossFit Open,
• 50:20
  with 60% of the
• 50:20
  registrations coming from
• 50:21
  outside the U.S.,
• 50:31
  Top five countries outside the U.S.
• 50:33
  were the U.K., France, Brazil, Australia,
• 50:37
  and Canada.
• 50:39
  The largest region was
• 50:40
  Europe with 112,000 participants.
• 50:41
  Nearly 90% of the
• 50:42
  participants were members
• 50:46
  of a CrossFit affiliate.
• 51:01
  And 10,744 affiliates had at
• 51:04
  least one member participating.
• 51:10
  And then they announced the
• 51:12
  winners for 24-3 and the
• 51:15
  dates for quarterfinals later.
• 51:19
  Registration opens Monday,
• 51:20
  April 1st for individuals, teams,
• 51:22
  and age groups.
• 51:23
  Teams will compete over six
• 51:25
  days from April 3rd to April 8th,
• 51:28
  while the six-day
• 51:29
  competition for individuals
• 51:30
  and age groups will take
• 51:31
  place April 17th to April 22nd.
• 51:35
  So 90% of people completed...
• 51:42
  at an affiliate?
• 51:43
  Do we think that, I mean,
• 51:46
  we know there's like pretty
• 51:47
  big contingent of like
• 51:48
  street parking and just
• 51:50
  your garage gym fitnessers.
• 51:52
  Do we think people are just
• 51:53
  going and finding a local
• 51:54
  box and doing the workout?
• 51:57
  So it didn't say they did it
• 51:58
  at an affiliate.
• 52:00
  They said they were members
• 52:01
  of an affiliate.
• 52:02
  Right.
• 52:02
  Right.
• 52:03
  So like, and that,
• 52:05
  and I would argue it's probably like,
• 52:07
  it's probably that like,
• 52:08
  it's probably like 70,
• 52:10
  80% of people are affiliate members,
• 52:13
  but 90% went into an
• 52:15
  affiliate and did it.
• 52:17
  The stat actually says that
• 52:19
  they are members of an affiliate.
• 52:22
  Yeah.
• 52:22
  They're not going to know
• 52:23
  that I signed up under grand trunk.
• 52:26
  Do you understand what I'm saying?
• 52:28
  I am not an affiliate,
• 52:30
  so I signed up under Grand Trunk.
• 52:33
  And so to them,
• 52:34
  it looks like I'm a member
• 52:35
  of an affiliate, even though I'm not.
• 52:37
  That's what's happening is
• 52:39
  Garage Gym and
• 52:41
  non-affiliate members are
• 52:42
  signing up under an
• 52:43
  affiliate so they don't
• 52:43
  have to do the bullshit process.
• 52:46
  And I think that's a
• 52:47
  detriment to their whole system.
• 52:49
  And then you get stats like
• 52:51
  this that are completely false.
• 52:55
  Okay, I see what you're saying now.
• 52:59
  And Jay Birch agrees.
• 53:00
  He did too in an affiliate
• 53:01
  but not a member.
• 53:04
  When you signed up, Jay Birch,
• 53:05
  did you actually assign
• 53:07
  yourself an affiliate?
• 53:15
  Yeah.
• 53:15
  That's what you did, though,
• 53:17
  because you wanted to be on the team.
• 53:19
  Correct.
• 53:19
  Correct.
• 53:22
  But some people drop into
• 53:23
  gyms that are affiliates,
• 53:25
  and then they get judged by
• 53:26
  someone that's there,
• 53:27
  and then they don't have to
• 53:28
  submit their videos.
• 53:31
  We get drop-ins to our gym
• 53:34
  during the Open from
• 53:36
  non-affiliated people.
• 53:39
  I think that stats can say
• 53:42
  whatever they want them to say.
• 53:43
  Yep.
• 53:45
  They're going to pick
• 53:46
  however they get the numbers.
• 53:47
  They're going to call it
• 53:48
  whatever it is to put them
• 53:51
  in the best light in this case.
• 53:54
  So I want to put it out there.
• 53:56
  This is their press release
• 53:58
  of what they did well.
• 54:00
  I want to talk about what
• 54:01
  did they do good this year
• 54:02
  during the open and what did they do bad.
• 54:10
  Oh, you're asking now.
• 54:12
  Okay.
• 54:12
  I think... Well, I think that... Like,
• 54:15
  I think weeks one and two
• 54:17
  were pretty spot on.
• 54:19
  I think week three could
• 54:21
  have been a little more
• 54:25
  inclusive to start.
• 54:26
  Maybe toe-to-bar, then chest-to-bar,
• 54:28
  then bar muscle-up.
• 54:29
  And then I think it would
• 54:30
  have been an absolutely perfect,
• 54:31
  well-rounded,
• 54:32
  open... I would add a few
• 54:34
  less complaints in my gym, I know.
• 54:37
  But...
• 54:39
  I think they kind of crushed
• 54:41
  week one and two.
• 54:43
  It gave some of my members false hope.
• 54:45
  The people were really
• 54:47
  disheartened with the
• 54:48
  announcement of point three.
• 54:50
  And I hate to see that.
• 54:53
  Because they were so excited
• 54:54
  with one and two.
• 54:56
  And they were like, oh man.
• 54:57
  It just was this false sense of hope.
• 55:01
  So they started hot.
• 55:03
  Ended less hot.
• 55:04
  I don't know.
• 55:05
  Yeah,
• 55:05
  they could have done like three rounds of
• 55:07
  thruster and pull-ups first.
• 55:09
  Then three rounds,
• 55:11
  thrusters and heavier
• 55:12
  thrusters and chest-to-bars.
• 55:14
  Then three rounds with bar muscle-ups.
• 55:18
  I think that would have been great.
• 55:19
  Just a more... You get to
• 55:21
  play around for three rounds at least.
• 55:24
  Versus seven thrusters.
• 55:26
  Or having to scale right away.
• 55:28
  Right.
• 55:30
  What did they do?
• 55:31
  What did I like?
• 55:32
  Hmm...
• 55:41
  I think the golden barbell
• 55:44
  idea of this online portal,
• 55:46
  like people submitting
• 55:48
  people to represent their community.
• 55:49
  And stories and stuff.
• 55:50
  That's good.
• 55:51
  Yeah,
• 55:52
  I think that was a... I think they're
• 55:54
  going in the right
• 55:55
  direction with things like that.
• 55:56
  That's going to give some more buy-in.
• 55:58
  The fail was the week one barbell.
• 56:02
  Yeah.
• 56:03
  That one was a fail.
• 56:05
  But in terms of the other one,
• 56:06
  like the community ones, I like those.
• 56:09
  um the announcements I
• 56:11
  thought two of the
• 56:12
  announcements were fine
• 56:13
  dave's and um rollins yeah
• 56:19
  and then I thought the
• 56:20
  jocko one the virtual I
• 56:23
  would have liked to have
• 56:23
  seen them there there or
• 56:27
  someone else do it that
• 56:28
  could be there um for the
• 56:30
  announcements the matchups
• 56:32
  I like the matchups I
• 56:33
  thought they were fun I
• 56:35
  just would like more
• 56:37
  leading up to the week,
• 56:38
  like more stories about the
• 56:39
  athletes that are going to
• 56:40
  be doing the head to heads.
• 56:42
  Like,
• 56:42
  I don't recall really many stories on
• 56:45
  the four athletes from week one or,
• 56:47
  you know,
• 56:47
  a lot of stuff on Justin and
• 56:49
  Colton for week two,
• 56:50
  or same with the four.
• 56:51
  I know it was the four
• 56:52
  athletes and the last week
• 56:53
  was kind of last minute,
• 56:54
  but just some sort of
• 56:58
  pregame show type post or
• 57:01
  something would be nice on
• 57:01
  the Instagram just to,
• 57:03
  for the community to know
• 57:04
  the athletes would be cool.
• 57:06
  Um,
• 57:08
  Yeah,
• 57:09
  I totally think Dave should have done
• 57:10
  the week three announcement.
• 57:12
  And I think they missed the
• 57:14
  boat big time with not
• 57:15
  having Seth add an affiliate week one,
• 57:18
  trying to draw in a whole
• 57:19
  new crowd of signups.
• 57:21
  Like, yeah,
• 57:23
  they need to reach like broaden
• 57:25
  the market.
• 57:26
  And he was the perfect person to do that.
• 57:28
  But week two is too late.
• 57:29
  Nobody's signing up at that point.
• 57:34
  I think overall it was a success.
• 57:39
  I agree.
• 57:41
  I think the problem with
• 57:44
  every step forward is there
• 57:46
  was a step back.
• 57:48
  Love Seth Rollins, hated the timing.
• 57:52
  Loved the golden barbell,
• 57:54
  hated the athletes doing extra workouts.
• 58:04
  Loved everything about what
• 58:06
  they were doing this year
• 58:07
  and then they leak a workout.
• 58:10
  Like,
• 58:11
  it's – they can't get out of their
• 58:13
  own way.
• 58:15
  And I – the one thing that I
• 58:18
  have – I think the shows were short.
• 58:22
  Yeah, I wanted to see the after, like,
• 58:26
  interviews or the other
• 58:27
  people doing workouts.
• 58:28
  Like,
• 58:29
  we didn't get to see Rollins do the
• 58:31
  workout with –
• 58:33
  Miranda's husband, Julian.
• 58:37
  I would have liked to have seen that.
• 58:39
  I would have liked to have
• 58:39
  seen a sit down interview
• 58:41
  with the athletes,
• 58:42
  asking them how they feel.
• 58:43
  Are they going to redo it?
• 58:44
  Well, would you, you know,
• 58:45
  you always got those,
• 58:46
  those type of interviews after,
• 58:48
  and it was just kind of like,
• 58:49
  you see the workouts and okay,
• 58:52
  everyone logs off basically.
• 58:54
  It's done.
• 58:55
  Like there was no closing.
• 58:57
  I would have liked to have
• 58:57
  seen like you do announce
• 58:58
  the workouts and then the
• 59:00
  broadcasters talk about it.
• 59:02
  They can,
• 59:02
  you know,
• 59:03
  they have all these discussions
• 59:06
  on who they predict will do
• 59:07
  well on the workouts and
• 59:10
  that would be cool.
• 59:13
  So, and I, and I,
• 59:18
  the only person that ever
• 59:18
  got interviewed was the winner.
• 59:22
  So whoever won the workout
• 59:23
  got interviewed.
• 59:24
  The other person was just
• 59:26
  left to walk off and
• 59:28
  which I thought was weird.
• 59:29
  And I didn't like the tips
• 59:31
  and tricks before the workout.
• 59:34
  I like when it ran after.
• 59:37
  You see the elites do it.
• 59:39
  Now for you in your gym,
• 59:41
  these are the tips you should go with.
• 59:47
  The Chuck Carswell, the Nicole Carroll,
• 59:49
  whoever's doing it.
• 59:52
  I like it after.
• 59:54
  And Jody makes a great point.
• 59:59
  Taylor versus world was so
• 1:00:00
  well done and the
• 1:00:01
  competition was so tight.
• 1:00:04
  It,
• 1:00:06
  it showed what is possible for an
• 1:00:10
  exciting match with just
• 1:00:13
  two or three cameras,
• 1:00:15
  letting two people go head to head,
• 1:00:17
  letting them smack talk,
• 1:00:19
  letting them do all that stuff.
• 1:00:21
  And you get,
• 1:00:22
  we got a post event interview
• 1:00:24
  with both athletes.
• 1:00:29
  So it showed what was possible.
• 1:00:35
  Yeah.
• 1:00:36
  So there's that.
• 1:00:39
  I don't want to shed on too
• 1:00:41
  much because I think it was
• 1:00:43
  a very successful Open.
• 1:00:44
  There's a lot of people.
• 1:00:45
  I think there's a lot of positives.
• 1:00:48
  And even if things were,
• 1:00:50
  there's some stuff, it's like, okay,
• 1:00:51
  you know what?
• 1:00:52
  In the grand scheme of things,
• 1:00:53
  it's not going to affect
• 1:00:54
  that much of the competition.
• 1:00:55
  People are moving on.
• 1:00:56
  A lot of people, like 25%.
• 1:00:59
  it's like if there was like
• 1:01:00
  even like a no rep thing or
• 1:01:02
  the Emily Claus situation
• 1:01:04
  at the end of the day, it's like, okay,
• 1:01:06
  let's move on.
• 1:01:07
  Like it's.
• 1:01:10
  And most importantly with
• 1:01:11
  the Taylor versus the world,
• 1:01:13
  it showed that like any of
• 1:01:14
  us can do that.
• 1:01:16
  Yeah.
• 1:01:17
  Any of us can get two
• 1:01:18
  athletes head to head in a gym.
• 1:01:21
  And because the one thing I will,
• 1:01:24
  will say about Taylor
• 1:01:25
  versus the world is we
• 1:01:27
  didn't have any female representation,
• 1:01:28
  right?
• 1:01:29
  We had very,
• 1:01:30
  very little in the open announcements.
• 1:01:33
  They were like a secondary
• 1:01:36
  to the men at the first and
• 1:01:40
  third and didn't even have
• 1:01:41
  representation at the second.
• 1:01:43
  And Taylor versus the world was all men.
• 1:01:48
  Well,
• 1:01:48
  I thought it was interesting that
• 1:01:50
  Dave on one of his weekend
• 1:01:51
  reviews was like, oh,
• 1:01:52
  there's going to be more
• 1:01:53
  than two athletes, less than seven.
• 1:01:56
  And then you saw that for number one,
• 1:01:58
  but then I thought that he
• 1:01:59
  meant for every week.
• 1:02:01
  And then it was just going
• 1:02:02
  to be a duel and then another duel.
• 1:02:04
  But it was going to be the
• 1:02:06
  original thing was two
• 1:02:07
  males in week two and then
• 1:02:09
  two females in week three.
• 1:02:11
  So you had two and two in week one.
• 1:02:14
  So it would have been even.
• 1:02:16
  It's just the plans changed.
• 1:02:17
  But I thought there was
• 1:02:18
  going to be more each week.
• 1:02:19
  I thought I was waiting for
• 1:02:22
  another person to get
• 1:02:23
  announced or something.
• 1:02:24
  Yeah.
• 1:02:24
  Yeah.
• 1:02:26
  So yeah.
• 1:02:28
  So I'd love to do something
• 1:02:29
  like that next year with some women.
• 1:02:32
  I just,
• 1:02:34
  I think though that women are a
• 1:02:35
  little more guarded with their scores.
• 1:02:38
  They totally are.
• 1:02:39
  Holy cow.
• 1:02:40
  Aaron,
• 1:02:40
  Aaron watches the leaderboard and
• 1:02:41
  he's like, you know,
• 1:02:43
  you get like Noah's in there.
• 1:02:46
  Like, I mean,
• 1:02:47
  there's so many men that like
• 1:02:48
  post right away and like
• 1:02:50
  almost no women do that.
• 1:02:52
  And they'll wait till Sunday or Monday.
• 1:02:53
  And it's like,
• 1:02:54
  holy cows ridiculous it's so
• 1:02:57
  true I hope I play my cards
• 1:02:59
  close I said on our round
• 1:03:06
  table that you texted me on
• 1:03:08
  monday and you said you had
• 1:03:09
  a shot and you said you're
• 1:03:11
  not posting because you
• 1:03:11
  don't want someone to redo
• 1:03:13
  because of it it's true
• 1:03:16
  I was, and then I was like,
• 1:03:17
  then once everyone had posted,
• 1:03:19
  I was looking at time zones.
• 1:03:21
  I was like, okay,
• 1:03:21
  there's only one person
• 1:03:22
  left that was close to
• 1:03:24
  around me and it's in Europe.
• 1:03:26
  And I was like,
• 1:03:27
  it would be 11 o'clock at
• 1:03:29
  night right now.
• 1:03:30
  I think I'm good now.
• 1:03:31
  I can post.
• 1:03:32
  Like I was like,
• 1:03:33
  I was doing that in my head.
• 1:03:34
  Cause I'm like, well,
• 1:03:36
  if you put that early on in
• 1:03:37
  the day and you're in sixth
• 1:03:39
  place and you've only done it once,
• 1:03:42
  you know what?
• 1:03:43
  I'm doing it again.
• 1:03:46
  I've done that before myself
• 1:03:48
  when I was doing like an
• 1:03:49
  online comp and I thought I
• 1:03:50
  i had it in the bag and
• 1:03:52
  it's like oh someone posted
• 1:03:53
  there's get my butt to the
• 1:03:54
  gym yeah it and it's it is
• 1:04:01
  the second highest payday
• 1:04:03
  of the season and you had
• 1:04:05
  to do what you had to do to
• 1:04:06
  make sure that you yeah I
• 1:04:08
  can barely walk guys my quads
• 1:04:11
  Quads are sore.
• 1:04:12
  Lex,
• 1:04:13
  mute yourself right now or ear muffs
• 1:04:15
  or eye muffs or whatever
• 1:04:16
  you want to call it.
• 1:04:18
  Don't look or hear what I'm saying.
• 1:04:22
  Don't send me a violin.
• 1:04:23
  My quads are hurting.
• 1:04:24
  All right.
• 1:04:26
  So I want to finish up the
• 1:04:28
  service opening result.
• 1:04:31
  I know teachers,
• 1:04:32
  did they have or did they only do,
• 1:04:35
  did they do teachers this year?
• 1:04:37
  Yeah, they've done, they've done,
• 1:04:38
  they call it educators for
• 1:04:40
  the last few years.
• 1:04:41
  They've always put that one.
• 1:04:43
  What's that?
• 1:04:44
  I see you finished second.
• 1:04:45
  No, first.
• 1:04:46
  Oh, you finished first.
• 1:04:47
  Okay, good.
• 1:04:49
  It did.
• 1:04:49
  It made no sense to me.
• 1:04:50
  No.
• 1:04:50
  What the heck?
• 1:04:51
  Um,
• 1:04:58
  So I don't know how to pull
• 1:04:59
  those leaderboards up.
• 1:05:00
  It's like hashtag, right?
• 1:05:02
  Yeah, you have to hashtag it.
• 1:05:05
  I was curious throughout the
• 1:05:07
  open because I always check
• 1:05:09
  the educator one every year.
• 1:05:11
  And I learn a lot about
• 1:05:14
  athletes that have fake
• 1:05:17
  careers right now.
• 1:05:19
  Yeah.
• 1:05:22
  That they put hashtags that
• 1:05:23
  they're this and that, and I'm like,
• 1:05:24
  you're a full-time athlete.
• 1:05:28
  Nice.
• 1:05:30
  Yeah, I've known a couple.
• 1:05:32
  If you're not actively, I think,
• 1:05:34
  doing that career,
• 1:05:35
  I think you shouldn't have that hashtag.
• 1:05:36
  Like it should be – the only
• 1:05:39
  one that's – if you're not,
• 1:05:40
  there's a military veteran.
• 1:05:42
  That's the only one that's like –
• 1:05:45
  Post but everything else I
• 1:05:46
  feel like it's like if
• 1:05:47
  you're a college student
• 1:05:48
  your college student if
• 1:05:49
  you're a firefighter your
• 1:05:50
  firefighter right now if
• 1:05:51
  you're if you're like a 10
• 1:05:53
  year retired firefighter like.
• 1:05:54
  It to me it's more about
• 1:05:57
  like I don't know that's
• 1:05:58
  how I look at it it's like
• 1:05:59
  juggling who's the
• 1:06:00
  firefighter right now that's.
• 1:06:03
  the fittest who's the police
• 1:06:04
  officer right now that's
• 1:06:06
  the fittest the ems all
• 1:06:08
  like do you guys think
• 1:06:09
  about it like that or
• 1:06:10
  should it be yeah whether
• 1:06:11
  you like it to me it should
• 1:06:13
  be if you're active service
• 1:06:15
  member minus the veteran
• 1:06:17
  one but that's right like
• 1:06:20
  I'm not putting college
• 1:06:21
  student because I went to
• 1:06:22
  college 10 years ago yeah
• 1:06:25
  or you're taking one course
• 1:06:26
  right or if you have like
• 1:06:27
  an education degree
• 1:06:29
  but you're not a teacher.
• 1:06:31
  You're not like, you're still, you're just,
• 1:06:32
  you're training full to like, to me,
• 1:06:34
  it's like interesting.
• 1:06:38
  And there she is.
• 1:06:39
  Number one, keep going down.
• 1:06:43
  And Christine best.
• 1:06:43
  I know she's still a teacher.
• 1:06:44
  She's a teacher.
• 1:06:46
  Same.
• 1:06:47
  I think the Stein one,
• 1:06:49
  I did not know free over was a teacher.
• 1:06:52
  Did not.
• 1:06:53
  No, I, I shoot travels all over the world.
• 1:06:56
  So for her competitions, I'm,
• 1:06:59
  Surprised at that one.
• 1:07:03
  But if you go like to like
• 1:07:04
  firefighter college like
• 1:07:06
  any like there's just a lot
• 1:07:08
  of athletes that are.
• 1:07:11
  Having these hashtags I feel like.
• 1:07:17
  Uh.
• 1:07:22
  She's forever.
• 1:07:25
  Firefighter.
• 1:07:28
  She was.
• 1:07:29
  But that's what I'm saying
• 1:07:30
  is everyone has these hashtags.
• 1:07:32
  I know Yaji has a firefighter.
• 1:07:35
  Like to me,
• 1:07:36
  I want to see the active members.
• 1:07:37
  Like I think there's something to be,
• 1:07:39
  especially if they're going
• 1:07:39
  to do an online comp or online,
• 1:07:42
  an in-person comp or something for this.
• 1:07:45
  I want it to be active members.
• 1:07:49
  Is this what Froning's doing?
• 1:07:53
  Is it Mayhem?
• 1:07:55
  No,
• 1:07:55
  they did Everyday Heroes or something
• 1:07:58
  last year.
• 1:07:58
  They might still be doing something.
• 1:08:00
  They are.
• 1:08:01
  They just announced it this
• 1:08:03
  week on their podcast that
• 1:08:05
  they're doing Everyday Heroes.
• 1:08:07
  Five categories.
• 1:08:10
  Firefighters, law enforcement, military,
• 1:08:14
  education, and healthcare.
• 1:08:16
  So they'll take that
• 1:08:17
  leaderboard and invite those people.
• 1:08:19
  Nope.
• 1:08:20
  All new competition.
• 1:08:22
  And it's going to be all
• 1:08:23
  programmed because Angelo
• 1:08:25
  does a everyday hero
• 1:08:29
  training plan for mayhem.
• 1:08:32
  So he's going to program it.
• 1:08:33
  Then what will happen is
• 1:08:36
  this is new this year.
• 1:08:38
  They'll take the top two
• 1:08:40
  from every division and
• 1:08:44
  And if like one person can't make it,
• 1:08:46
  they'll go next on the
• 1:08:47
  leaderboard till they get
• 1:08:48
  two people from each one.
• 1:08:50
  They're going to bring them
• 1:08:51
  to Cookville and compete against.
• 1:08:55
  So firefighters versus law
• 1:08:56
  enforcement versus military
• 1:08:59
  versus teacher versus healthcare.
• 1:09:03
  Like team.
• 1:09:04
  Yep.
• 1:09:04
  Team in a team of two.
• 1:09:06
  I think the two men and two girls,
• 1:09:09
  two guys.
• 1:09:09
  Yeah.
• 1:09:09
  I think two guys, two girls.
• 1:09:11
  Yeah.
• 1:09:14
  So they won't even know each other too.
• 1:09:17
  Right.
• 1:09:20
  They're doing an online
• 1:09:22
  qualifier for this?
• 1:09:23
  Correct.
• 1:09:24
  Okay.
• 1:09:26
  For some reason,
• 1:09:26
  I thought he said since
• 1:09:28
  CrossFit dropped it,
• 1:09:29
  they were going to pick it up and do it.
• 1:09:31
  So I thought it was going to
• 1:09:32
  be used from the Open's.
• 1:09:38
  No,
• 1:09:39
  they're programming a whole new
• 1:09:40
  qualifier.
• 1:09:41
  They did this because
• 1:09:43
  CrossFit got rid of it last year.
• 1:09:44
  Right, right.
• 1:09:46
  And they're continuing it on.
• 1:09:47
  But CrossFit is doing something for it,
• 1:09:50
  right?
• 1:09:50
  Or no?
• 1:09:52
  I believe so.
• 1:09:52
  I think CrossFit just needs the winner.
• 1:09:56
  Maybe I was getting confused
• 1:09:58
  with the Everyday Hero from
• 1:10:00
  the Mayhem group.
• 1:10:02
  That's the in-person one
• 1:10:03
  that I was thinking of.
• 1:10:04
  I don't think there's any
• 1:10:05
  moving on from this from CrossFit.
• 1:10:07
  You'll probably just get a
• 1:10:08
  certificate or something
• 1:10:09
  saying you're the fittest teacher.
• 1:10:12
  Yeah, that's what I think they're doing.
• 1:10:14
  Where Mayhem is taking it a step further,
• 1:10:17
  which I actually love that idea.
• 1:10:19
  Well, a few years ago,
• 1:10:20
  we did have a secondary step,
• 1:10:22
  and it was the same
• 1:10:23
  workouts as the age group
• 1:10:27
  quarterfinals or something like that.
• 1:10:30
  So I don't know if they're
• 1:10:31
  still doing that second part.
• 1:10:34
  I don't believe so.
• 1:10:37
  Then there's some people
• 1:10:38
  getting some awards that
• 1:10:39
  they're full-time athletes.
• 1:10:42
  Yeah.
• 1:10:45
  All right.
• 1:10:45
  So two last items,
• 1:10:50
  and then we'll get out of
• 1:10:51
  here for the night.
• 1:10:53
  We have...
• 1:10:55
  Daniel Brandon Energy is
• 1:10:58
  going to be released next week, 3-27.
• 1:11:02
  They just released a new
• 1:11:03
  trailer 12 minutes before
• 1:11:05
  we went on the air.
• 1:11:07
  Um,
• 1:11:08
  and if you have not seen the interview
• 1:11:11
  with Daniel Brandon and
• 1:11:12
  Lauren Khalil on talking elite fitness,
• 1:11:15
  you got to check it out.
• 1:11:17
  Um,
• 1:11:18
  Lauren really does a deep dive into
• 1:11:21
  this documentary and asks
• 1:11:25
  her if she had any input
• 1:11:26
  into the people they pulled
• 1:11:28
  in to interview for the documentary.
• 1:11:32
  And she said that, um,
• 1:11:36
  she did have input but at
• 1:11:38
  the end of the day they
• 1:11:39
  grabbed who they thought
• 1:11:40
  was going to tell the best
• 1:11:41
  story and lauren asks her
• 1:11:45
  about justin kotler being
• 1:11:48
  in the documentary and she
• 1:11:50
  talks about it in this
• 1:11:51
  interview and it's really
• 1:11:53
  really good I can't wait to
• 1:11:56
  see it I can't either um
• 1:12:00
  I've never like Danielle has
• 1:12:02
  always been kind to me and
• 1:12:03
  I've always had a good
• 1:12:04
  relationship with her directly.
• 1:12:06
  Um, but I've always,
• 1:12:08
  I have had some questions
• 1:12:10
  with things that have
• 1:12:11
  happened in her career,
• 1:12:13
  but I think that
• 1:12:15
  complicated people like
• 1:12:17
  that are the most
• 1:12:17
  interesting to learn about.
• 1:12:22
  And so I think it's going to
• 1:12:23
  be a pretty amazing documentary.
• 1:12:27
  And it will be free on YouTube.
• 1:12:29
  Do you know how long it is?
• 1:12:31
  I don't.
• 1:12:33
  I know it's being funded by Rad.
• 1:12:39
  But yeah, it'll be free on YouTube.
• 1:12:41
  I don't know if it's on her
• 1:12:43
  channel or Rad's channel or what,
• 1:12:45
  but I'm sure it'll pop up
• 1:12:48
  in most of our algorithms come next week.
• 1:12:52
  But super interesting.
• 1:12:55
  I missed this one.
• 1:12:56
  Probably don't even want to get into it.
• 1:13:00
  Lots and lots of media drama
• 1:13:01
  going on today, this week.
• 1:13:04
  Go check all that out if you want to.
• 1:13:07
  Pretty shocked at what kind
• 1:13:08
  of came out yesterday from
• 1:13:11
  two different podcasts.
• 1:13:15
  And they're both long.
• 1:13:20
  Kenneth DeLapp says,
• 1:13:22
  you know who has a good doc
• 1:13:23
  on YouTube is Tim Paulson.
• 1:13:27
  I didn't see that came out.
• 1:13:30
  I haven't,
• 1:13:30
  it hasn't popped up in my
• 1:13:31
  YouTube algorithm,
• 1:13:33
  but I'll have to go look for that.
• 1:13:34
  I'll have to watch that.
• 1:13:36
  I like him.
• 1:13:39
  And then finally,
• 1:13:40
  our very own Carolyn Prevo
• 1:13:44
  is venturing onto another
• 1:13:46
  podcast next week.
• 1:13:49
  So you will be on Peters
• 1:13:50
  around the whiteboard.
• 1:13:55
  Are you prepared?
• 1:13:55
  I don't know the questions yet.
• 1:13:59
  So I'll find out the
• 1:14:00
  question the day before the night before,
• 1:14:01
  I think.
• 1:14:19
  So I'll have to think about
• 1:14:21
  it and give some,
• 1:14:23
  some good answers to hopefully get a win.
• 1:14:27
  Yeah.
• 1:14:28
  Um,
• 1:14:29
  I'm not sure you can predict how he
• 1:14:31
  scores, but if you can, good luck to you.
• 1:14:35
  I can't predict, but I got to condense.
• 1:14:38
  My talking is what Lex says.
• 1:14:39
  The one minute is going to go by too fast.
• 1:14:44
  It'll go by real fast.
• 1:14:47
  Yeah.
• 1:14:48
  I like to set up my story.
• 1:14:50
  That would be tough.
• 1:14:50
  60 seconds would be tough, but yeah.
• 1:14:56
  Um,
• 1:14:58
  I think Rory had it written down in
• 1:14:59
  front of him on his laptop.
• 1:15:02
  That's not a bad idea.
• 1:15:05
  Smart.
• 1:15:07
  But that doesn't allow you
• 1:15:08
  to play off the other answers.
• 1:15:09
  Yeah.
• 1:15:11
  So yeah.
• 1:15:15
  Uh,
• 1:15:16
  teaching experience make you
• 1:15:17
  get you ready for that?
• 1:15:18
  Are you nervous?
• 1:15:20
  No,
• 1:15:21
  I feel like I've done so much talking
• 1:15:23
  in any type of sport or thing.
• 1:15:25
  I am very opinionated on stuff sometimes.
• 1:15:31
  Good.
• 1:15:32
  Should be fine.
• 1:15:33
  Do you think it's more
• 1:15:34
  comfortable because you're
• 1:15:34
  with two other athletes?
• 1:15:37
  I'm assuming the questions
• 1:15:38
  will at least be things
• 1:15:39
  that we can relate to,
• 1:15:40
  because sometimes let's say
• 1:15:43
  they're talking about
• 1:15:45
  I don't know something about
• 1:15:46
  affiliate owners.
• 1:15:47
  If you have like an athlete,
• 1:15:49
  people that have just
• 1:15:49
  different perspective,
• 1:15:50
  it could be maybe tough on
• 1:15:52
  some of the questions that
• 1:15:52
  they might ask CrossFit related.
• 1:15:54
  If you don't have that same
• 1:15:56
  experience as someone else,
• 1:15:58
  just assuming that it's three athletes.
• 1:16:00
  I mean,
• 1:16:01
  normally it's the topics that are
• 1:16:03
  hot at that moment.
• 1:16:04
  So with the quarterfinals coming up,
• 1:16:08
  maybe a question on what
• 1:16:10
  we'll see or not see and,
• 1:16:13
  I don't know.
• 1:16:15
  So as an athlete,
• 1:16:17
  I know it's got to be tough
• 1:16:18
  for you to be on these shows.
• 1:16:19
  Cause you don't want to say
• 1:16:20
  anything bad about your competitors.
• 1:16:24
  Do you think that the
• 1:16:26
  questions will be safe for you?
• 1:16:27
  So that's not a position you're in.
• 1:16:30
  Yeah.
• 1:16:31
  Okay.
• 1:16:32
  I don't think I would talk
• 1:16:33
  like badly about anyone anyways.
• 1:16:36
  Like I can critique someone,
• 1:16:38
  but not necessarily like,
• 1:16:40
  I won't say anything.
• 1:16:42
  Bad.
• 1:16:42
  I don't think, I hope not.
• 1:16:46
  Yeah.
• 1:16:48
  That that's my only worry with,
• 1:16:49
  especially when it's a mixed bag,
• 1:16:51
  like if it's an athlete and
• 1:16:52
  a media person,
• 1:16:53
  the media person kind of
• 1:16:55
  has the ability to go like
• 1:16:59
  cut deeper because they're
• 1:17:00
  not really going to compete
• 1:17:02
  against that person or
• 1:17:03
  anything like that.
• 1:17:05
  But with all athletes,
• 1:17:06
  I think you're safer that way.
• 1:17:08
  Yeah.
• 1:17:09
  Yeah.
• 1:17:11
  Although I do think Colton
• 1:17:12
  started the smack talking already.
• 1:17:14
  Has he?
• 1:17:15
  No.
• 1:17:17
  I'll see if I can pull it up really fast.
• 1:17:19
  On us?
• 1:17:21
  Yes.
• 1:17:22
  Of course.
• 1:17:24
  He's really bought into that
• 1:17:26
  kind of persona.
• 1:17:27
  Yeah, he has.
• 1:17:28
  He's really coming into
• 1:17:30
  himself this last year doing this stuff.
• 1:17:33
  The Iron Hog.
• 1:17:35
  Yeah.
• 1:17:37
  He needs to have a t-shirt for that.
• 1:17:42
  I think Travis is probably making one.
• 1:17:45
  All right.
• 1:17:45
  Let me see.
• 1:17:47
  For some reason,
• 1:17:48
  Instagram's not let me load
• 1:17:51
  stories today.
• 1:17:56
  It's a story.
• 1:17:56
  Oh, Colton.
• 1:17:59
  Let's see what you got.
• 1:18:07
  Yeah, it won't.
• 1:18:10
  It tries, and then it just fails.
• 1:18:15
  I don't see anything on his story.
• 1:18:20
  Yeah,
• 1:18:23
  he basically says that he accepts the
• 1:18:27
  challenge, but it won't be a challenge.
• 1:18:29
  He's there to dominate,
• 1:18:33
  and he goes on with a bunch
• 1:18:34
  of adjectives.
• 1:18:41
  Oh, no.
• 1:18:41
  Did you see that this?
• 1:18:44
  Oh, gosh.
• 1:18:45
  I'm just now seeing this
• 1:18:46
  post that the community
• 1:18:48
  golden barbell is just a gift card.
• 1:18:51
  They didn't actually get a. Yeah,
• 1:18:56
  I heard that midway through.
• 1:19:03
  Well,
• 1:19:04
  we heard the barbell wasn't that cool
• 1:19:05
  anyway,
• 1:19:05
  so I guess if they get a gift card,
• 1:19:07
  they can get what they want.
• 1:19:10
  Kenna says Colton said he
• 1:19:13
  isn't coming to debate.
• 1:19:14
  He's coming to dominate.
• 1:19:15
  It's not a workout, Colton.
• 1:19:18
  We got a chance here.
• 1:19:19
  We got a chance.
• 1:19:26
  Andrew Sten asks,
• 1:19:27
  what's the recent YouTube drama?
• 1:19:28
  I don't really want to get into it.
• 1:19:30
  It's all out there.
• 1:19:31
  Too much dirty laundry being aired.
• 1:19:36
  Too many private
• 1:19:36
  conversations I don't want to see.
• 1:19:38
  To me, it's between people.
• 1:19:43
  yeah I haven't wrapped my
• 1:19:45
  head around it all fully
• 1:19:47
  yet I only just finished
• 1:19:50
  Hiller's video and like I
• 1:19:52
  didn't see Jason CF Media's
• 1:19:54
  interview like I don't know
• 1:19:58
  how I feel about it all but
• 1:19:59
  yeah it's just I hope that
• 1:20:05
  some people can like just
• 1:20:06
  do things personally
• 1:20:08
  hash it out together.
• 1:20:09
  Like not there's some,
• 1:20:10
  there's certain things that
• 1:20:11
  I feel like the public
• 1:20:12
  doesn't need to get in the middle of.
• 1:20:14
  Yeah.
• 1:20:17
  I just feel like people then
• 1:20:18
  start taking sides and I
• 1:20:19
  think that it's uncomfortable.
• 1:20:22
  It really separates people.
• 1:20:24
  And I don't think that
• 1:20:24
  that's what our community is about.
• 1:20:26
  We should be excited that
• 1:20:29
  people have different
• 1:20:29
  content and are helping out, you know,
• 1:20:32
  grow our sport.
• 1:20:33
  And then I just see people now, like,
• 1:20:37
  you know,
• 1:20:37
  bullying or writing stuff to
• 1:20:40
  certain people because they're on team,
• 1:20:42
  this person and not that
• 1:20:44
  now it means they're against that person.
• 1:20:46
  So I don't like that.
• 1:20:48
  Yeah, it does it to me for a while.
• 1:20:50
  It's sort of felt like the
• 1:20:53
  high school cool kids club.
• 1:20:55
  And that has sort of, um, yeah,
• 1:20:58
  that's just rubbed me wrong a little bit.
• 1:21:00
  Andrew, um,
• 1:21:03
  I mean,
• 1:21:03
  basically with Brian Friend and
• 1:21:06
  Hiller's video is the least
• 1:21:07
  friendliest man in CrossFit.
• 1:21:09
  So you can go watch that and
• 1:21:11
  make your own opinions on
• 1:21:16
  what you think of it.
• 1:21:18
  Yeah.
• 1:21:21
  I think it does bring to
• 1:21:22
  light that the media behind
• 1:21:24
  the scenes is not always
• 1:21:27
  kumbaya and holding hands.
• 1:21:32
  But I don't want to be a part of it.
• 1:21:36
  Yeah.
• 1:21:38
  With that, we will end on that.
• 1:21:43
  And we will see everybody
• 1:21:46
  next time on Thursday Night
• 1:21:48
  CrossFit Talk.
• 1:21:50
  Bye, everybody.
