• 0:34
  lot to talk about tonight
• 0:36
  but I know it's been a
• 0:38
  crazy weekend for me I am
• 0:40
  sure it's been a crazy
• 0:41
  weekend for you two ladies
• 0:43
  who were doing the online
• 0:46
  affiliate in affiliate
• 0:48
  online semifinals age group
• 0:50
  yep all that yeah age group
• 0:54
  so we're going to talk about
• 0:55
  that tonight um but I have
• 0:59
  gotten a few dms so I am
• 1:00
  going to say why there was
• 1:02
  no show from us on thursday
• 1:03
  and friday um and that is
• 1:06
  because on thursday I was
• 1:09
  talking to my mom on
• 1:10
  facetime while I was talking to her
• 1:15
  Um,
• 1:16
  all of the sudden she'd like her head
• 1:18
  dipped down in her, into her hands.
• 1:21
  She's got back up and the
• 1:23
  whole left side of her face
• 1:24
  started drooping and she
• 1:25
  started talking with a slur.
• 1:28
  Um,
• 1:29
  and I asked her to stick her tongue out
• 1:30
  and it shot to the left and
• 1:33
  I panicked and I called
• 1:34
  nine one one and got the
• 1:36
  squad to her and she had had a stroke and
• 1:42
  Um,
• 1:42
  so we packed up our stuff and headed to
• 1:46
  Pennsylvania.
• 1:47
  Once we found out where they
• 1:48
  were taking her,
• 1:49
  it took till about one
• 1:50
  o'clock in the morning to
• 1:51
  find out where she was going.
• 1:53
  Um, and once I knew what,
• 1:55
  because from Columbus, they,
• 1:56
  she could either be in my
• 1:58
  hometown of oil city.
• 2:00
  or in erie or in pittsburgh
• 2:03
  and all three are a
• 2:03
  different direction from
• 2:04
  columbus and so I needed to
• 2:07
  know even what direction to
• 2:08
  head in once we got that
• 2:09
  that she was in pittsburgh
• 2:12
  we headed over there which
• 2:13
  was convenient because my
• 2:14
  daughter lives there um so
• 2:16
  we're able to take walter
• 2:18
  to her and then go to the
• 2:20
  hospital to see my mom
• 2:22
  Turns out we got it so
• 2:24
  quickly that there's very
• 2:25
  little damage done.
• 2:28
  She's made it through the weekend,
• 2:30
  and she's been moved out of
• 2:32
  ICU today into a regular room,
• 2:35
  and hopefully will be going
• 2:37
  home within the next two to three days.
• 2:41
  Everything is coming back down to normal.
• 2:42
  Her heart rate, her blood pressure,
• 2:44
  all of that stuff, super normal.
• 2:49
  My mom has been that rock in my life,
• 2:51
  my whole life, and she's been invincible.
• 2:54
  And this was really the
• 2:55
  first time I felt like that
• 2:57
  was being almost taken away.
• 3:01
  And it really rocked my
• 3:04
  world this weekend.
• 3:06
  But I appreciate all my
• 3:07
  friends sending their well
• 3:08
  wishes and prayers and
• 3:09
  thoughts and all of that stuff.
• 3:11
  it meant the world to me um
• 3:14
  and so what's great is
• 3:16
  corey is only my daughter
• 3:18
  corey is only ten minutes
• 3:19
  from the hospital so she's
• 3:21
  able to get over there a
• 3:22
  couple of times a day if
• 3:25
  need be um and all that stuff so uh
• 3:30
  But we had some great visits.
• 3:32
  She was back to her normal
• 3:33
  sassy self today,
• 3:35
  making jokes with all the nurses,
• 3:37
  doing all that stuff.
• 3:39
  So we know she's back with us fully.
• 3:42
  And they're so impressed
• 3:43
  with how her dexterity is
• 3:47
  that they don't even need
• 3:48
  her to do PT in the hospital.
• 3:50
  She can go to outpatient PT.
• 3:54
  But
• 3:56
  In the ICU, they couldn't keep her down.
• 3:58
  She was getting up and going
• 3:59
  to the bathroom on her own,
• 4:00
  all that kind of stuff
• 4:00
  because she wanted to be independent.
• 4:02
  They moved her out of ICU
• 4:03
  and they've put a pad on
• 4:05
  her bed if she gets out and
• 4:06
  the alarm goes off.
• 4:08
  And she's like,
• 4:09
  but they've been letting me
• 4:10
  up and around.
• 4:10
  And they said, well, for one night,
• 4:12
  you've got to prove to us your stability.
• 4:14
  And then if you do that overnight,
• 4:15
  we'll take the pad off in the morning.
• 4:17
  So, but yeah.
• 4:20
  that was my wild weekend we
• 4:21
  just got back about five
• 4:22
  o'clock and um I listened
• 4:25
  to the radio call on the
• 4:27
  mayhem classic over my car
• 4:29
  stereo on the way back and
• 4:31
  then watched the last
• 4:32
  couple events here um so
• 4:34
  we'll get into all that but
• 4:36
  so take a deep breath I get
• 4:39
  to be with friends now um
• 4:41
  and thank you everybody in
• 4:41
  the chat for all of the um
• 4:43
  thoughts and prayers and
• 4:44
  wishes and everything
• 4:46
  Um, but the funny thing is my,
• 4:49
  when I go to work above the,
• 4:50
  when I was going to an
• 4:52
  office above the microwave
• 4:53
  in the break room was,
• 4:54
  these are the signs of a stroke.
• 4:57
  And I, and just because I was bored,
• 4:58
  I read them like over and
• 4:59
  over and over again.
• 5:00
  Right.
• 5:01
  And so the minute it happened,
• 5:03
  I knew exactly what it was,
• 5:05
  was able to call nine one one.
• 5:06
  The only bad thing is if you
• 5:07
  are not in the state of your parent,
• 5:09
  know that when you call nine one one,
• 5:11
  it's going to be a while.
• 5:12
  Hmm.
• 5:14
  because I went to Columbus PD,
• 5:16
  who transferred me to my
• 5:17
  hometown police department,
• 5:19
  who said my mom wasn't in
• 5:21
  their jurisdiction and got
• 5:22
  to the state police.
• 5:23
  The state police said, this is medical.
• 5:26
  So they said,
• 5:29
  so I finally got somebody on that end.
• 5:31
  But I would suggest if you
• 5:36
  live away from your parents,
• 5:38
  find out what the emergency
• 5:39
  services number is in their
• 5:40
  area so you have it on hand.
• 5:43
  It's pretty crazy that you
• 5:44
  were on the phone with her
• 5:45
  and then noticed those
• 5:46
  signs and were able to react that fast.
• 5:49
  Like that's.
• 5:50
  I know.
• 5:51
  Cause my mom was really.
• 5:54
  Yeah.
• 5:54
  I mean, imagine if, yeah,
• 5:55
  I just can't imagine if you
• 5:56
  hadn't been talking to her.
• 5:58
  I know we've said that all weekend.
• 6:00
  Like, like I am a God loving man.
• 6:03
  And I believe that God had a
• 6:04
  plan for this because it is
• 6:07
  just freaky that I was on
• 6:08
  the phone with her, um,
• 6:09
  when this all happened.
• 6:11
  And, um, if,
• 6:13
  because she lives alone and it,
• 6:15
  who knows when someone was
• 6:16
  going to come visit her or, you know,
• 6:21
  but yeah, I, and again,
• 6:23
  thank you everybody.
• 6:24
  Thank you, Denise.
• 6:26
  Um,
• 6:27
  Yeah, it was a crazy weekend,
• 6:29
  but lots of blessings that
• 6:31
  it all turned out for the
• 6:32
  good for the most part.
• 6:35
  And yeah.
• 6:38
  So how were you guys this weekend?
• 6:41
  I miss talking to you
• 6:42
  because I know you guys
• 6:42
  were going through these workouts.
• 6:44
  I'm usually like, you know,
• 6:46
  on text with Jamie
• 6:47
  constantly finding how it's going.
• 6:49
  Didn't get to do any of that this weekend.
• 6:52
  And I felt like out of the loop,
• 6:54
  but I knew I had to be where I was.
• 6:56
  Right.
• 6:57
  We understand.
• 7:01
  It was a wild weekend.
• 7:05
  It was a lot.
• 7:05
  It was stressful.
• 7:10
  You felt like a burden.
• 7:12
  It just wasn't fun.
• 7:14
  I don't know how to explain it.
• 7:16
  It was a lot.
• 7:16
  I still don't get the point
• 7:17
  of the second judge.
• 7:19
  The second judge is there
• 7:22
  and they're in the frame
• 7:25
  the whole time or whatever.
• 7:27
  Like it was just,
• 7:28
  they didn't even have to be.
• 7:29
  Yeah.
• 7:30
  Yeah.
• 7:30
  They didn't have to introduce themselves.
• 7:31
  I technically they could leave,
• 7:32
  but like mine was mostly in
• 7:33
  the frame the whole time.
• 7:34
  Yeah.
• 7:35
  Um,
• 7:36
  but just trying to coordinate
• 7:37
  everyone's schedules for
• 7:39
  five workouts is difficult
• 7:41
  and I'm at my home affiliate.
• 7:42
  So like Jamie and I talked a
• 7:44
  little bit over the weekend
• 7:45
  and like some of the struggles for her,
• 7:47
  like, you know, you just,
• 7:48
  you have a different bar,
• 7:49
  you have different, um,
• 7:51
  set up of where you're
• 7:52
  putting your camera.
• 7:53
  Um, like if you want to redo anything, um,
• 7:56
  trying to coordinate, you know, those,
• 7:58
  those two judges to be
• 7:59
  there is difficult.
• 8:01
  It certainly doesn't make it
• 8:03
  easy on athletes that don't
• 8:05
  have multiple people in
• 8:06
  their gyms that qualified for sure.
• 8:10
  Yeah.
• 8:10
  I don't even know that.
• 8:11
  I mean,
• 8:11
  it honestly probably didn't even make it,
• 8:14
  it probably made it more
• 8:14
  difficult for affiliates too,
• 8:16
  quite honestly.
• 8:17
  Like, I mean, I felt like
• 8:20
  you know,
• 8:21
  we kind of like people wanted to go home.
• 8:23
  Like,
• 8:23
  I felt like I'm taking people's time
• 8:25
  and that's, that's not a good feeling.
• 8:28
  Like they're,
• 8:29
  they don't need to be there anymore.
• 8:31
  They feel, you know, like they're like,
• 8:32
  all right.
• 8:34
  I felt the same way.
• 8:35
  So I was like,
• 8:35
  I do want it to be a great away.
• 8:37
  I did.
• 8:37
  Okay.
• 8:37
  Like, like, like, like, like, like,
• 8:39
  next one.
• 8:39
  Okay.
• 8:41
  See you tomorrow.
• 8:41
  This time, these two, like,
• 8:43
  I was trying not to have
• 8:45
  them there for more than an
• 8:46
  hour that they like an hour.
• 8:50
  And we have four like that
• 8:53
  or and we went with other people.
• 8:54
  So like imagine trying to
• 8:57
  somebody's trying to get
• 8:58
  their their area set up and
• 9:00
  someone else is over here
• 9:01
  trying to warm up and then
• 9:02
  you got to clear their
• 9:03
  tripod and equipment and go
• 9:04
  get set up like that takes so much time.
• 9:08
  And some of these two of
• 9:09
  these were twenty minute
• 9:09
  workouts for a lot of people like that.
• 9:12
  That's not quick when four
• 9:13
  people need to go back to
• 9:14
  back to back or it's five.
• 9:15
  I mean,
• 9:15
  there was four of us that we brought.
• 9:17
  The one gym had an athlete
• 9:19
  that was doing it.
• 9:19
  So five, we went to pit one day.
• 9:21
  They, I mean, they did incredible,
• 9:23
  but like we had like ten,
• 9:25
  ten people competing.
• 9:26
  So like if you aren't quite
• 9:28
  ready for your heat,
• 9:29
  you mess up everything and
• 9:30
  you don't want to be rushed into.
• 9:32
  They don't want to be like
• 9:33
  you feel like you have to go.
• 9:35
  But you don't really want to
• 9:36
  be rushed into going.
• 9:42
  So Lana says our judges
• 9:43
  loved having an extra set of eyes,
• 9:44
  extra help with setup, et cetera.
• 9:46
  I will say, I think it's a fine rule.
• 9:48
  If you're a bigger gym with
• 9:51
  lots of options,
• 9:54
  even if you're an affiliate
• 9:56
  and you're small and you,
• 9:58
  you may only have one L one or two,
• 10:01
  that's able to take that
• 10:02
  advanced judges course.
• 10:04
  I know Lana has a little bit bigger gym.
• 10:06
  Like for them,
• 10:07
  it's not a big deal because
• 10:08
  they do have those.
• 10:09
  They have more than one
• 10:11
  option to be that level one
• 10:15
  extra level judge.
• 10:18
  And Corey and I were talking
• 10:19
  about this a little bit
• 10:19
  over the weekend that like
• 10:21
  for those big gyms,
• 10:23
  I can see needing a head
• 10:24
  judge to make sure there is
• 10:25
  consistency across the
• 10:26
  board and that all the
• 10:27
  judges are doing what
• 10:29
  they're supposed to do.
• 10:30
  But for a small affiliate,
• 10:31
  that is a huge burden.
• 10:34
  And we went from, remember,
• 10:36
  like three years ago,
• 10:37
  it was too much of a burden
• 10:38
  on affiliates.
• 10:39
  We need to like cut down
• 10:40
  what everybody has to do.
• 10:41
  And then now we've like
• 10:43
  swung the pendulum back
• 10:44
  even further than what it
• 10:45
  was before when everybody
• 10:47
  said it was a burden.
• 10:50
  Yeah, I mean, I agree with Lana.
• 10:52
  Like I said,
• 10:53
  I do really like appreciate that, but.
• 10:58
  on one hand,
• 10:59
  I almost feel like some people
• 11:00
  come in thinking, Hey,
• 11:01
  there's going to be all
• 11:02
  these extra eyes or
• 11:02
  somebody knows what we're
• 11:03
  going to do be doing.
• 11:04
  So I,
• 11:05
  I haven't read everything in like
• 11:07
  fine tooth comb.
• 11:08
  Cause I think I'm going to
• 11:09
  trust these other people.
• 11:11
  And then you really,
• 11:13
  you really probably like,
• 11:14
  then you're spending time, like, shoot,
• 11:15
  somebody,
• 11:16
  somebody says something and you're like,
• 11:17
  wait, I didn't read that.
• 11:18
  Let me go check that.
• 11:19
  And then we got to meet, you know,
• 11:21
  our minds got to like get
• 11:22
  on the same page and like, okay, nope.
• 11:24
  I think it's this.
• 11:26
  And like,
• 11:28
  don't know it's just it's
• 11:30
  just weird yeah um denise
• 11:37
  it felt like it took an
• 11:38
  hour per workout oh a
• 11:39
  hundred percent it did take
• 11:40
  like an hour when you go to
• 11:42
  input your score and put in
• 11:45
  your judge and then it
• 11:47
  doesn't even have the drop
• 11:48
  down for the judges
• 11:50
  Holy smokes.
• 11:51
  Yeah.
• 11:52
  You just put your judge's name, full name,
• 11:54
  comma, next judge's name.
• 11:56
  And then you're like, maybe not.
• 11:57
  Right.
• 11:58
  Right.
• 11:58
  Like,
• 12:01
  so people probably are going to get
• 12:02
  away with just putting some
• 12:04
  name in there because who
• 12:06
  is checking that at this point?
• 12:08
  I can't believe that was how
• 12:09
  the field was.
• 12:10
  Cause it's you,
• 12:11
  you usually type in a name
• 12:12
  and it populates with who
• 12:13
  has their judges course.
• 12:15
  And that's exactly,
• 12:16
  it should have been head
• 12:16
  judge type it in.
• 12:18
  And those people should have been alerted.
• 12:21
  Like, you know, I mean, there should,
• 12:24
  if you're going to do it,
• 12:24
  then have that as that
• 12:25
  second layer of security.
• 12:26
  Right.
• 12:27
  Like, did you, were you the head judge?
• 12:29
  Can you verify the score for this person?
• 12:34
  Well, we'll get in,
• 12:35
  we'll get into all the age
• 12:36
  group stuff and we'll talk
• 12:37
  about each workout in a minute.
• 12:39
  But we're trying to hold off
• 12:41
  on that kind of talk until
• 12:42
  maybe the leaderboard is released.
• 12:45
  I'll be around like nine.
• 12:47
  Yeah.
• 12:47
  That's what we're hoping for.
• 12:49
  So, um, and Lana actually agrees with you.
• 12:52
  Yes.
• 12:53
  That was ridiculous.
• 12:55
  Um, before we get into the mayhem though,
• 12:57
  someone had a really cool
• 12:59
  weekend this weekend.
• 13:01
  Um,
• 13:01
  and they got their first bar muscle up
• 13:04
  and that is our very own Denise Moore.
• 13:08
  Um,
• 13:10
  guess your age at sixty
• 13:12
  seven because I know you've
• 13:12
  been in sixty five and up
• 13:15
  for a while or sixty five
• 13:16
  to sixty nine now I guess
• 13:19
  sixty seven you got your
• 13:20
  first bar muscle up and I'm
• 13:22
  looking for um the post and
• 13:25
  I'm assuming ripped her
• 13:25
  hands from the comments in
• 13:27
  the in the chat it's worth it
• 13:34
  And she says, oh my God, I'm so stoked.
• 13:36
  And so I'm going to share my
• 13:37
  screen so everybody can see this.
• 13:40
  She is sixty seven.
• 13:41
  I was right.
• 13:45
  My Sherlock Holmes thing worked.
• 13:48
  So here she is.
• 13:51
  I'm going to blow this up.
• 13:58
  Like that looked awesome.
• 13:59
  Yeah.
• 13:59
  She's just hanging out.
• 14:02
  High five people.
• 14:05
  I love it.
• 14:07
  Not just one, but two.
• 14:09
  That's amazing.
• 14:10
  Denise,
• 14:10
  did you have them like years ago
• 14:12
  and have lost them?
• 14:13
  Or is this your first ever in your life?
• 14:19
  To me,
• 14:20
  this is the coolest thing that
• 14:21
  happened this weekend.
• 14:22
  All of the stuff at Mayhem,
• 14:24
  all of the like,
• 14:26
  sixty seven years old and
• 14:27
  getting your first bar muscle up.
• 14:29
  You have got to be kidding me.
• 14:30
  I've got goosebumps everywhere right now.
• 14:32
  And I think that was good
• 14:33
  programming that like the first,
• 14:36
  I don't know, five or six rounds,
• 14:37
  I think for that age group
• 14:38
  is regular pull-ups.
• 14:41
  And then you have,
• 14:42
  you give an opportunity to
• 14:43
  people to showcase if they
• 14:45
  do have a bar muscle-ups to
• 14:46
  just separate themselves a
• 14:48
  little bit more from the field.
• 14:49
  So I thought that that was a
• 14:50
  good way to program.
• 14:54
  I agree.
• 14:54
  I like, I liked that,
• 14:56
  that workout for them.
• 14:58
  She says, never.
• 14:59
  This is my very first.
• 15:01
  So awesome.
• 15:02
  Don't even know how I did it.
• 15:06
  Look at her reaction.
• 15:08
  It's amazing.
• 15:09
  Is the workout done at this point?
• 15:10
  No.
• 15:11
  Like it's only five thirty
• 15:12
  two in the workout.
• 15:13
  Like it's like we might as
• 15:14
  well bring a cake out right now.
• 15:18
  Lana got her first ever
• 15:19
  toast to bar today and got
• 15:21
  sixteen of them.
• 15:21
  Oh my gosh.
• 15:22
  That is so amazing.
• 15:29
  I love this community so much.
• 15:32
  This is the stuff.
• 15:34
  This is the stuff.
• 15:35
  It's the stuff.
• 15:37
  It's the stuff.
• 15:40
  I don't even know how else to say it.
• 15:41
  It's the stuff that I love
• 15:43
  about this community.
• 15:45
  The minute I saw this,
• 15:47
  I had to share it with our
• 15:48
  texturing because it was
• 15:51
  just the coolest thing I saw all weekend.
• 15:54
  And I know she tried the
• 15:56
  games last year and didn't get it.
• 15:59
  So to see her get it here was really,
• 16:01
  really cool.
• 16:05
  All right, so let's move on to Mayhem.
• 16:07

• 16:21
  Mayhem Classic went down this weekend.
• 16:25
  the first thing I'm going to
• 16:26
  ask you is they
• 16:28
  conscientiously made it a
• 16:29
  shorter competition
• 16:31
  windowed weekend to be
• 16:33
  because rich has said
• 16:34
  forever that it was going
• 16:35
  to be better for um the
• 16:38
  spectator to have like a
• 16:39
  shorter window to watch
• 16:41
  what were your thoughts
• 16:42
  about that first of all man
• 16:46
  I just I'd like to see at
• 16:48
  least six events it seemed
• 16:49
  like if I if I were to go
• 16:51
  somewhere I would I would
• 16:53
  have liked it to start at like
• 16:55
  noon or ten a.m on saturday
• 16:57
  like why are we starting at
• 16:59
  sorry that was my dryer
• 17:01
  stopping okay yeah I I
• 17:03
  don't know why we started
• 17:03
  at like four p.m on a
• 17:04
  saturday that's crazy to me
• 17:08
  yeah I don't know if they
• 17:09
  had other obligations
• 17:10
  already like some
• 17:11
  fundraiser stuff or I I
• 17:14
  know some people were doing
• 17:15
  the age group that's what I
• 17:16
  wondered the area yeah so I
• 17:18
  wonder factor if like
• 17:22
  that's why they went later
• 17:24
  I heard that they invited
• 17:25
  all the age group athletes
• 17:26
  that are mayhem athletes
• 17:27
  down and then gave them all
• 17:29
  a free ticket to stay to
• 17:32
  watch the classic so they
• 17:33
  did the workouts in the
• 17:34
  morning got to watch all
• 17:35
  afternoon got to do the
• 17:36
  next set on this morning um
• 17:40
  so yeah so they would have
• 17:41
  done thursday friday
• 17:42
  saturday you I mean you
• 17:43
  basically had to be done
• 17:44
  saturday morning midday mid
• 17:46
  morning or real early this morning
• 17:50
  yeah yeah I guess you could
• 17:51
  have done another one this
• 17:52
  morning I know your day
• 17:53
  doesn't start until yes
• 17:55
  correct but other people we
• 17:56
  we get up earlier than that
• 17:59
  I did like the condensed
• 18:00
  schedule like in terms of
• 18:02
  um more back-to-back events
• 18:05
  like you're not waiting
• 18:06
  like hours before tuning
• 18:07
  back in like I thought that
• 18:09
  that was good as a um viewer
• 18:14
  But I agree with Jamie.
• 18:17
  I feel like I wanted still a
• 18:19
  six event just to see the
• 18:21
  shakeup and leaderboard
• 18:22
  because every event just
• 18:23
  makes... There's some
• 18:25
  shifting after every event.
• 18:26
  The more events, the more that...
• 18:30
  the right person normally
• 18:33
  kind of pulls away um the
• 18:35
  events look grueling though
• 18:37
  like it looks rough like he
• 18:39
  said he wasn't trying to
• 18:39
  like kill them but like
• 18:41
  they got like those look
• 18:44
  painful how many baby deer
• 18:45
  finishes did we get a lot
• 18:47
  of legs a lot of legs but a
• 18:50
  ton of grip too like
• 18:52
  between those legless into
• 18:54
  and then those bar muscle
• 18:55
  ups oh my god I can't
• 18:56
  imagine what they're
• 18:57
  pulling felt like oh yeah
• 18:59
  Do you think they were like
• 19:00
  CrossFit and WFP don't want to squat,
• 19:03
  so we are going to do all
• 19:04
  the squats for everybody?
• 19:08
  Yeah, that's one way of looking at it.
• 19:10
  I mean, I liked it.
• 19:11
  I liked seeing all the squatting.
• 19:13
  It was – the finishes were amazing.
• 19:17
  I thought it was a great competition.
• 19:19
  I thought – I get what you're saying,
• 19:23
  especially on the women's side.
• 19:24
  Like, what,
• 19:24
  there's like ten points between
• 19:26
  five spots?
• 19:27
  Yeah.
• 19:28
  I think you do another event
• 19:29
  and depending on what it is,
• 19:32
  like even on the men's side,
• 19:35
  like James was starting to
• 19:37
  get some momentum.
• 19:38
  Um, like there, there could have been some,
• 19:42
  um, and Roman did well again, too,
• 19:45
  in the finale could have
• 19:47
  made it interesting for sure.
• 19:48
  Um, Denise wants to know, Carolyn,
• 19:53
  what movements would you
• 19:53
  have tested that didn't get tested?
• 19:56
  Nothing really fit too much that was left,
• 19:59
  maybe double unders,
• 20:00
  which I wouldn't really
• 20:01
  want to go in there.
• 20:02
  Um, there was no handstand pushups,
• 20:04
  but also they did enough,
• 20:05
  like supported possession,
• 20:08
  like position pressing.
• 20:10
  Um,
• 20:11
  so I'm not sure necessarily lacked a
• 20:13
  movement,
• 20:14
  but maybe could have adjusted to
• 20:15
  put certain movements in
• 20:18
  there to have a finale or not a finale,
• 20:21
  another workout.
• 20:22
  Um, yeah.
• 20:26
  Um,
• 20:27
  Lynn says it also was cool on the
• 20:29
  commentating side,
• 20:30
  having rich and Angelo who tested it,
• 20:32
  telling us their times tips
• 20:33
  that actually worked.
• 20:36
  Yeah, that was great.
• 20:38
  What I loved about it is
• 20:39
  they didn't take it.
• 20:40
  They didn't take themselves
• 20:41
  that seriously.
• 20:41
  No, like this is, this is for,
• 20:44
  this is fitness, right?
• 20:46
  Let's have fun.
• 20:47
  Let's
• 20:49
  like calling Angelo the
• 20:50
  smartest man in the world.
• 20:52
  Like I almost spit out my
• 20:53
  drink on the way home today.
• 20:56
  Like they just were really funny.
• 20:58
  Um, and they were different.
• 21:00
  They were different than
• 21:01
  what we normally get.
• 21:02
  So it just was refreshing.
• 21:03
  I think they're,
• 21:04
  they're ripping apart their athletes too.
• 21:06
  Like their friends.
• 21:09
  Yeah.
• 21:09
  Like Luke and the nasal strip.
• 21:12
  Yes.
• 21:13
  Um, Roy Scott,
• 21:15
  so many comments about his big body.
• 21:17
  They kept adding ten or
• 21:18
  twenty pounds every time.
• 21:19
  Oh, my God.
• 21:20
  He's fighting on the weekend.
• 21:21
  He played four hundred pounds.
• 21:23
  Yeah.
• 21:27
  The knee jokes were spot on.
• 21:32
  Yeah.
• 21:32
  Yeah, they did.
• 21:33
  They did a really good job.
• 21:34
  Like all around the
• 21:35
  broadcast was was great,
• 21:37
  even for the first event.
• 21:38
  Like you had the drone
• 21:40
  following the athletes outside.
• 21:42
  Yeah.
• 21:44
  you could see multiple athletes working.
• 21:46
  They'd zoom in.
• 21:47
  Sometimes it zoomed back out other times.
• 21:48
  Oh, and then the drone crash.
• 21:51
  Yeah.
• 21:52
  And so they, they made fun of it.
• 21:54
  Like they,
• 21:54
  instead of like being serious and like,
• 21:56
  Oh,
• 21:57
  like they made fun of the fact that
• 21:59
  they crashed the drone.
• 22:03
  Yeah.
• 22:05
  Um, it was, I thought it was great.
• 22:09
  Um,
• 22:10
  They were,
• 22:11
  they were a little mayhem biased.
• 22:13
  I will say that, but it's okay.
• 22:15
  It's a mayhem event.
• 22:16
  We knew it was going to be right.
• 22:18
  And Sean and Rich was saying, Hey,
• 22:21
  I know I'm biased to my,
• 22:22
  to Haley and I know I'm biased,
• 22:25
  but I think that she's good
• 22:26
  at this or whatever.
• 22:28
  And I'll agree with CrossFit.
• 22:29
  I think Sean was really
• 22:31
  loosened up and I thought
• 22:33
  he was fun to listen to as well.
• 22:36
  I think he was having a blast and,
• 22:41
  Um, so yeah.
• 22:45
  Um, those,
• 22:47
  that sniper video was one of my
• 22:48
  favorite thing.
• 22:49
  I love those.
• 22:49
  Yeah.
• 22:51
  Yep.
• 22:53
  Yep.
• 22:53
  It's crazy.
• 22:54
  Cause everyone looked so
• 22:55
  demolished after the event
• 22:57
  and then Colton finishes
• 22:59
  and does not like,
• 23:00
  he refuses to sit down.
• 23:02
  Like he refuses to show his
• 23:03
  competitors that he has any pain in him.
• 23:06
  He's just like hits it.
• 23:09
  walks away and is like, I'm good.
• 23:11
  You guys are, you know, struggling,
• 23:13
  but I'm still here.
• 23:16
  So would you say the
• 23:17
  programming was good overall?
• 23:19
  Yeah, I thought it was good programming.
• 23:23
  Yeah, I mean,
• 23:24
  I do feel like heavy Isabel
• 23:26
  may have swayed things a little bit.
• 23:30
  Like,
• 23:30
  I feel like that's probably what kept
• 23:32
  Sprague out.
• 23:35
  That was his worst finish.
• 23:37
  Exactly.
• 23:38
  So there you go.
• 23:39
  Your third place finisher on
• 23:41
  both sides was basically
• 23:43
  swayed because of heavy Isabel.
• 23:44
  Well, Sprague took fourth,
• 23:46
  but he was only five points behind Roman.
• 23:47
  Yeah, that's right.
• 23:48
  Yeah.
• 23:49
  I mean, Roman did nothing all weekend.
• 23:54
  All of a sudden, he kills the last event,
• 23:56
  and he's in third.
• 23:57
  Yeah.
• 23:59
  Like, that's how close the scores were.
• 24:00
  Right.
• 24:01
  That's where I'd rather see a sixth event,
• 24:03
  just...
• 24:05
  you know I don't know it's
• 24:06
  just it's just that tight
• 24:09
  I'd like to see something
• 24:10
  else but what what workout
• 24:13
  it would have been I don't
• 24:14
  know would have been the
• 24:15
  same type of favoring the
• 24:16
  same type of athlete I
• 24:17
  don't know um but they
• 24:21
  could have done maybe a
• 24:22
  deadlift maybe deadlift
• 24:30
  trying to think of
• 24:31
  movements I didn't do amy
• 24:32
  wants toes to bar yeah
• 24:35
  They could add toes to bar.
• 24:37
  So let's say who won.
• 24:41
  So on the women's side,
• 24:42
  the winner was Fisa Goffey.
• 24:45
  I don't know who picked her
• 24:47
  to go to the games last week.
• 24:52
  But I was one for two.
• 24:54
  Fee won.
• 24:56
  Abby Doma took second.
• 25:00
  Tiebreaker.
• 25:01
  And Emily Rolfe five points
• 25:03
  behind in third.
• 25:06
  On the men's side, Austin Hatfield won.
• 25:11
  Colton, who I did pick to go, took second.
• 25:14
  And Roman was thirty points behind,
• 25:18
  I believe.
• 25:18
  Yeah, something like that.
• 25:20
  Austin and Colton had a great weekend.
• 25:23
  They did.
• 25:24
  Yeah, they did.
• 25:24
  They did.
• 25:24
  They looked so impressive.
• 25:25
  And so,
• 25:26
  while I hear you say maybe one more event,
• 25:29
  like, really...
• 25:31
  There's not much I would fit there,
• 25:32
  though.
• 25:32
  That's the thing.
• 25:33
  You'd have to adjust what
• 25:34
  was programmed to add another event.
• 25:36
  Correct.
• 25:37
  You can't really put ring muscle-ups.
• 25:39
  Even handstand push-ups
• 25:40
  doesn't really fit as much.
• 25:45
  You would have to adjust
• 25:46
  some of it if you want to add another.
• 25:47
  That's the only thing.
• 25:49
  I would just like more events.
• 25:52
  Right.
• 25:54
  I don't want that to take away.
• 25:56
  Colton and Austin had pretty
• 25:59
  much a dominating weekend.
• 26:02
  even though the score got close,
• 26:03
  kind of closer at the end,
• 26:05
  like they truly earned their spot.
• 26:09
  And I loved what Colton said at the end.
• 26:11
  Like, you know,
• 26:12
  everybody was saying these
• 26:13
  are big boy workouts, big boy workouts.
• 26:15
  And now they're all bitching
• 26:17
  because they're saying they
• 26:18
  were short people workouts.
• 26:19
  His interviews were great.
• 26:21
  You can't have it both ways.
• 26:23
  And he gave so much love to
• 26:24
  Austin about this guy
• 26:26
  proved he is the best and
• 26:27
  we are all chasing him.
• 26:28
  Mm-hmm.
• 26:30
  And the way he did that,
• 26:31
  I thought was not so he all
• 26:33
  he did the he did the jabs.
• 26:36
  But then he was very classy
• 26:37
  in what he said about Austin at the end,
• 26:39
  too.
• 26:39
  And and that's why Colton is
• 26:41
  the most popular male
• 26:43
  athlete in sport right now.
• 26:45
  I just think it was good
• 26:46
  redemption for him.
• 26:47
  Like after having an event
• 26:48
  last year that had the echo
• 26:49
  bike and ring muscle up and he had mishap,
• 26:51
  like in that event for him to have a,
• 26:54
  an event with echo bike and
• 26:55
  a bar muscle up this time
• 26:57
  and twice the echo bike, you know,
• 26:59
  I think that's a cool way
• 27:01
  for him to earn his spot
• 27:03
  back to the games,
• 27:04
  show off what he's been working on.
• 27:06
  And, uh, yeah,
• 27:08
  like just enjoy now getting
• 27:11
  ready for the games.
• 27:12
  Like it's good for him.
• 27:14
  I was honestly surprised on
• 27:16
  that event for him.
• 27:17
  Like I was like, Oh no, he may,
• 27:19
  he may lose out his spot here.
• 27:21
  When you look at the people
• 27:22
  chasing him and you're like, Oh man,
• 27:24
  if these people get on the bike,
• 27:26
  like all these people are
• 27:27
  going to go in the middle
• 27:28
  of it or like push him down.
• 27:30
  And then you start thinking
• 27:31
  about the first,
• 27:32
  the first heat and Jack
• 27:33
  playing a factor and some
• 27:35
  of the other athletes.
• 27:36
  And you're like, can he hold on?
• 27:38
  And then he'd sure did.
• 27:40
  I know.
• 27:40
  I was so impressive.
• 27:42
  Yeah.
• 27:42
  I was super happy for him.
• 27:43
  what I love is you know
• 27:45
  hopper's been saying he's
• 27:46
  the king of the echo bike
• 27:48
  and roman said hold my beer
• 27:50
  well and jason again yeah
• 27:54
  yeah thirty seconds on that
• 27:57
  opening bike james looked
• 27:59
  incredible on that last
• 28:00
  bike yeah he did he did but
• 28:03
  roman thirty seconds on
• 28:04
  that first bike yeah that
• 28:06
  was insane oh my gosh that was
• 28:13
  Do we know of any of these athletes,
• 28:16
  if any of them are
• 28:17
  competing at the European one before?
• 28:21
  Because there's two events
• 28:24
  before the in-affiliate semifinals,
• 28:28
  right?
• 28:29
  It's the Brazil one and the Spain one.
• 28:33
  Brazil one they can't go to.
• 28:35
  Maybe Guy can go to that one,
• 28:38
  but I don't think he's doing the season.
• 28:41
  Are any of these athletes
• 28:42
  competing at other ones is my question.
• 28:45
  Roman going to Europe.
• 28:46
  Okay.
• 28:48
  Some of the events we'll
• 28:49
  talk about are going to be
• 28:51
  the same or very similar.
• 28:52
  Yeah.
• 28:57
  Yeah,
• 28:57
  I would think Claudia and Manon would
• 29:00
  both be going.
• 29:01
  That means they're going to
• 29:02
  go there to go back to
• 29:05
  North America for the
• 29:07
  in-affiliate plus the Indiana one.
• 29:10
  That's...
• 29:16
  Yeah.
• 29:16
  Well, Claudia had an awesome weekend too.
• 29:18
  She did.
• 29:19
  Yeah.
• 29:20
  Well,
• 29:21
  there was a lot of gymnastics for the
• 29:22
  females that she could separate.
• 29:24
  She's quite, you know, elite at the gym,
• 29:28
  like the legless, the bar muscle ups,
• 29:30
  like that bar muscle up
• 29:31
  workout for the females.
• 29:32
  Like the bar muscle up was a separator.
• 29:34
  Yeah.
• 29:36
  And then the legless also a separator.
• 29:38
  So, yep.
• 29:39
  She's great on her hands too,
• 29:40
  for the handstand walk, GHD workout.
• 29:43
  So she really had a good, especially,
• 29:45
  especially a good day too.
• 29:48
  Cause I think on the female workouts,
• 29:50
  they were separated a lot
• 29:51
  more by the gymnastics there.
• 29:53
  So you two are athletes.
• 29:55
  You punch your ticket to the
• 29:56
  games in the first
• 29:58
  in-person qualifying event.
• 30:01
  And now all the,
• 30:02
  everybody else is fighting
• 30:03
  for those spots.
• 30:05
  How relaxed are you at this
• 30:08
  point in the season?
• 30:08
  And how much does that help
• 30:10
  you train for the upcoming season?
• 30:14
  Yeah, that's got to feel good.
• 30:17
  It feels great.
• 30:19
  No pressure, no an affiliate.
• 30:21
  Sammy files like you can
• 30:22
  test workouts for people.
• 30:23
  Yeah.
• 30:24
  Like you're just, you're chilling.
• 30:27
  You can take a week off here.
• 30:31
  Start building back up.
• 30:32
  Like whenever, like, you know,
• 30:33
  exactly now your path.
• 30:36
  one you need to build um
• 30:39
  yeah and that's the
• 30:40
  advantage of going to this
• 30:41
  competition if you have a
• 30:42
  chance to to qualify early
• 30:45
  like you that's chance to
• 30:48
  take um denise says I'd be
• 30:51
  eating all the cake for a week
• 30:55
  Patrick Clark says they
• 30:56
  still have to train for
• 30:57
  WFPC's No Rest for the Weary.
• 30:59
  But Abby Doman wasn't
• 31:01
  invited to be assigned athlete.
• 31:02
  Some of them are just safe.
• 31:06
  She's going to accept the
• 31:07
  challenger position or not.
• 31:10
  And I don't think she made
• 31:11
  the top ten or eleven for Indy.
• 31:17
  And she may just say, hey,
• 31:18
  I got my games ticket.
• 31:19
  All in.
• 31:23
  Yeah.
• 31:24
  Now, Fi did make top ten.
• 31:25
  Right.
• 31:26
  But she wasn't a signed athlete either,
• 31:30
  which is kind of interesting.
• 31:32
  The only signed athlete to
• 31:33
  punch her ticket was Austin.
• 31:40
  Yeah.
• 31:41
  Just a thing to make you go, hmm.
• 31:46
  Just a gentle observation.
• 31:50
  One funny thing I did see I
• 31:51
  wanted to bring up is –
• 31:53
  For the last event,
• 31:54
  I saw people taking towels
• 31:56
  out and wiping down the bars.
• 31:57
  Oh, my God.
• 31:59
  I saw that too.
• 32:00
  And all I could picture was
• 32:01
  Carolyn rolling her eyes.
• 32:03
  It's the first thing that
• 32:06
  popped into my head.
• 32:07
  It's so annoying.
• 32:10
  I want the chalk on the bar.
• 32:12
  We've always had chalk on the bar,
• 32:13
  and people are just out
• 32:14
  there with their little towels.
• 32:18
  Eye roll.
• 32:18
  Okay.
• 32:20
  Yep.
• 32:23
  And one thing I wanted to
• 32:24
  give kudos to Mayhem for is
• 32:26
  I loved the new way they
• 32:28
  highlighted sponsors.
• 32:30
  In the dead time of the broadcast, to,
• 32:33
  like,
• 32:33
  go to the booth and talk to the
• 32:34
  people and show how they
• 32:37
  would use the product or whatever.
• 32:40
  The Rogue one, really,
• 32:41
  I thought was awesome
• 32:42
  because it showed the
• 32:43
  volunteers putting together the rig,
• 32:45
  putting together the floors, and giving,
• 32:47
  like...
• 32:49
  Kudos to them.
• 32:50
  And I've been saying for
• 32:51
  years that that dead space,
• 32:53
  why aren't we selling that
• 32:55
  off to people just to put
• 32:57
  some kind of ads there to
• 33:00
  offset the cost of the broadcast?
• 33:03
  You may not make a ton initially,
• 33:06
  but if that grows over time,
• 33:07
  maybe you could.
• 33:10
  but I did like the way that
• 33:12
  it wasn't just like a read or, you know,
• 33:16
  a typical flashy video.
• 33:19
  Like they, they,
• 33:21
  you got to meet the owner
• 33:22
  or you like the rogue one,
• 33:23
  especially seeing the
• 33:25
  volunteers put to help put
• 33:27
  together the rig and the
• 33:28
  floor and all the people it
• 33:29
  takes to do all that stuff
• 33:30
  I thought was really cool.
• 33:32
  And it highlighted how much
• 33:34
  a part of the community rogue is.
• 33:40
  All around the broadcast,
• 33:42
  everything that they did,
• 33:43
  I was very impressed.
• 33:45
  And it's been a while for us to like,
• 33:47
  I mean, the last event, I guess,
• 33:48
  Waterpalooza was the last
• 33:49
  major event that we saw.
• 33:51
  So, you know,
• 33:51
  we've been waiting for
• 33:52
  another event to watch.
• 33:53
  And I thought that Mayhem
• 33:56
  did a great job and
• 33:58
  The fans of the sport were all tuned in.
• 34:01
  What did the viewership get to?
• 34:04
  I saw like thirteen thousand at one point.
• 34:06
  Fourteen thousand maybe?
• 34:07
  I saw seventeen today.
• 34:09
  So like in the final event.
• 34:12
  Is that good?
• 34:13
  I don't know.
• 34:13
  Is that good for a semifinal?
• 34:16
  People count them at different times.
• 34:19
  I think that because it's a weekend,
• 34:21
  it's better tomorrow to
• 34:23
  look and see how many people watched it.
• 34:26
  Cause if you're not watching it live,
• 34:27
  you're not seeing that number live,
• 34:29
  right?
• 34:30
  You want to see like how
• 34:31
  many people watched it altogether.
• 34:33
  Like even TV is switched
• 34:35
  from like the live
• 34:36
  broadcast numbers to what,
• 34:39
  what are the numbers within
• 34:40
  the first twenty four hours?
• 34:43
  And then they do like then
• 34:44
  the numbers from the second
• 34:46
  day to the seventh day.
• 34:49
  And they call those like the
• 34:50
  streaming numbers.
• 34:51
  So I think you would have to
• 34:52
  look at it in that vein,
• 34:54
  just like TV does today, too,
• 34:55
  because not everybody watches live TV.
• 35:03
  And Lynn makes a great point.
• 35:04
  Also, Aussie and Europe watch later.
• 35:06
  Yeah.
• 35:10
  they'll have a lot of like
• 35:11
  people that go back and
• 35:12
  watch especially at some of
• 35:13
  these events you know or
• 35:16
  variations of them start
• 35:17
  popping up at different
• 35:18
  like ways you'll go back
• 35:19
  and watch you know the
• 35:21
  isabel and people's paces
• 35:23
  and start studying you know
• 35:25
  who did well or people that
• 35:26
  like are similar to you
• 35:30
  crossfit actually it was
• 35:31
  shared by the crossfit
• 35:32
  website yeah it was on
• 35:33
  their games uh home page
• 35:35
  which I was I was surprised
• 35:38
  last year they didn't post
• 35:39
  anything about any of the
• 35:41
  semifinals or barely
• 35:42
  anything so I thought that
• 35:43
  was really good that you
• 35:44
  could click on the link
• 35:45
  right from um the game site
• 35:47
  this this time around uh
• 35:51
  jamie loves on aquamarine
• 35:53
  green is my favorite color
• 36:00
  um with all the good stuff
• 36:04
  um the only bad thing I
• 36:05
  will say is that kind of
• 36:07
  messed it up for me and I
• 36:09
  know some of my co-hosts is
• 36:12
  that it felt awkward when
• 36:16
  people that weren't
• 36:17
  pursuing the crossfit game
• 36:18
  season were altering the leaderboard
• 36:22
  during the weekend in big ways.
• 36:25
  And the prime example is Guy.
• 36:26
  Guy is not doing the game season.
• 36:29
  He wins heavy Isabel.
• 36:31
  He was in third place
• 36:32
  overall after the second event.
• 36:35
  And it just muddies the water.
• 36:37
  And I think that that
• 36:39
  as a fan makes it more
• 36:41
  confusing and harder to
• 36:42
  sell the sport to other
• 36:44
  fans to come watch when you
• 36:46
  have to explain that, well,
• 36:48
  even if this guy finishes top two,
• 36:50
  he's not going to the games
• 36:51
  and then third place, he'll get it.
• 36:52
  And,
• 36:54
  and then you have to get out the
• 36:55
  whiteboard with the
• 36:55
  algebraic formula and tell
• 36:57
  them like who gets what.
• 37:00
  Do we think he impacted the standings?
• 37:03
  Like if you took a horse, well,
• 37:05
  I'd like points.
• 37:06
  Yeah.
• 37:07
  He did well in that last event, too.
• 37:10
  So I'd like to see if he got in between.
• 37:12
  I mean, it was, what, what did we say,
• 37:14
  thirty points to Roman?
• 37:15
  I don't know if that's going
• 37:16
  to matter if he wasn't in there at all.
• 37:20
  But I don't know.
• 37:22
  Yeah, I mean,
• 37:27
  it's going to be crazy as we go.
• 37:28
  Because some, like Syndicate has said,
• 37:31
  if you have your ticket...
• 37:34
  And the way they're pulling
• 37:35
  their players is open
• 37:39
  finish and semifinal finish.
• 37:41
  So it is only going to be
• 37:44
  people in the season that
• 37:45
  go to syndicate.
• 37:46
  And if you got your ticket,
• 37:47
  you're not allowed to come
• 37:48
  either because it messes up
• 37:50
  the leaderboard.
• 37:51
  So syndicate is looking at
• 37:52
  it as like we want it to be
• 37:54
  an easily understood top two make it.
• 37:57
  The podium is the podium is the podium.
• 38:01
  But not every semifinal is doing that.
• 38:04
  NorCal is not.
• 38:05
  Because there's earning opportunities,
• 38:07
  too.
• 38:08
  Right.
• 38:09
  So Colton is going to NorCal
• 38:11
  to earn money.
• 38:11
  He's last year's champion.
• 38:13
  He wants to defend his crown.
• 38:15
  And then it gets complicated, right?
• 38:19
  I saw Holta signed up for NorCal, too.
• 38:22
  So I'm wondering if she's
• 38:24
  pursuing the semifinal, too.
• 38:25
  That would be cool to see
• 38:27
  her back competing.
• 38:31
  she's good um patrick clark
• 38:40
  says again blame hq for not
• 38:41
  regulating their own sport yeah um
• 38:49
  There's a lot of comments
• 38:50
  and they're coming in fast.
• 38:51
  You guys are quick.
• 38:52
  Yeah,
• 38:52
  there's like there's like earning
• 38:53
  opportunities and stuff at these events.
• 38:55
  So it's hard to it's either
• 38:57
  needs to be like these are
• 38:58
  the semifinals and this is
• 38:59
  the qualification and only
• 39:01
  people that haven't qualified.
• 39:02
  And then if you want other
• 39:04
  earning opportunities,
• 39:05
  these are the events like, yeah,
• 39:06
  there should just be some
• 39:07
  sort of structured.
• 39:09
  Agree.
• 39:09
  The game season is the game season.
• 39:12
  It's not a participation for.
• 39:14
  Yeah.
• 39:14
  Yeah.
• 39:16
  I don't know there's other
• 39:17
  events I guess go do wfp or
• 39:20
  other events that pop up
• 39:22
  monster I don't know
• 39:23
  there's all kinds of like
• 39:24
  that's what a lot of
• 39:24
  palooza's for and that's
• 39:27
  where the exposure and
• 39:29
  earning you can earn money
• 39:30
  at metcon rush you can earn
• 39:31
  money at monster games you
• 39:33
  can game season follow it
• 39:35
  correctly like yeah
• 39:40
  And it,
• 39:41
  and if you don't want to follow the
• 39:42
  game season,
• 39:43
  it's just going to help those
• 39:44
  mid majors that we call them grow.
• 39:47
  Right.
• 39:47
  Right.
• 39:47
  Exactly.
• 39:48
  Yeah.
• 39:54
  Okay.
• 39:55
  So I'm going to throw out a
• 39:56
  question to you guys.
• 39:58
  What was your biggest
• 39:59
  surprise of the weekend?
• 40:00
  One good, one bad.
• 40:07
  Let me go back and look at
• 40:07
  the leaderboard.
• 40:10
  I'll go first.
• 40:11
  Go ahead.
• 40:12
  Alexis Raptus was my bad.
• 40:14
  Yeah.
• 40:15
  I really thought she'd do better.
• 40:19
  And I'll throw Hopper in that too.
• 40:20
  And I've said this on this show before.
• 40:23
  Every time I put my chips
• 40:24
  behind Jason Hopper, I go craps.
• 40:29
  Right?
• 40:30
  And I said I was never going
• 40:32
  to do it again.
• 40:33
  And I picked him to win the
• 40:35
  Mayhem Classic.
• 40:37
  last week on this show and
• 40:39
  craps every time I do it it
• 40:42
  happens I guess I got all
• 40:45
  under the hype of the
• 40:46
  Hiller video and the way
• 40:49
  he's been competing lately
• 40:51
  and dang so there it is so
• 40:58
  that was my bad my good was
• 41:01
  we still seem to not give Abby her due
• 41:07
  And she has improved every
• 41:08
  year she's been at the games.
• 41:10
  And she is winning semifinals.
• 41:15
  She did not win this weekend,
• 41:16
  but I didn't hear anybody
• 41:18
  pick her to get one of the
• 41:19
  two qualifying spots.
• 41:21
  I feel like a lot of people
• 41:24
  said it was going to be
• 41:25
  between Fee and Abigail for second.
• 41:30
  Everyone was like, it'll be Alexis,
• 41:31
  and then it'll be Fee or Abigail.
• 41:35
  That's basically what I...
• 41:37
  generally heard.
• 41:39
  Yeah, I didn't.
• 41:41
  And yeah, anyway, I didn't hear that,
• 41:44
  but I was also busy with
• 41:45
  things this weekend,
• 41:46
  so I may not have heard everything.
• 41:48
  Um, and so I, that's my biggest surprise.
• 41:51
  Good is that she came out to play, um,
• 41:55
  that performance on heavy
• 41:56
  Isabel when everybody was
• 41:58
  picking Hannah black or
• 41:58
  Christine Kolenbrander.
• 42:00
  And she just, um,
• 42:03
  ding, ding, ding,
• 42:04
  right down the line and crushed it.
• 42:07
  It was amazing.
• 42:09
  Just consistent.
• 42:10
  That's what she did last
• 42:12
  year at the West Semifinals too.
• 42:14
  Just consistent on the board.
• 42:17
  No bad events.
• 42:19
  Good at the running ones.
• 42:20
  Good at the lifting ones.
• 42:21
  Her lifting event was very impressive,
• 42:23
  her Isabel.
• 42:26
  She can move that barbell.
• 42:27
  Wow, that was impressive.
• 42:29
  I mean, she tied Gi's time, right?
• 42:30
  They were both .
• 42:31
  . .
• 42:32
  I think she was three fifty five.
• 42:34
  I want to say.
• 42:35
  Yeah, she was a little faster.
• 42:36
  I think she was faster.
• 42:38
  Like she she was fast.
• 42:40
  Nothing.
• 42:42
  You could tell Rich was
• 42:42
  impressed the way he kept
• 42:44
  talking about it.
• 42:45
  Yeah.
• 42:47
  My impressive is is fee.
• 42:50
  I think.
• 42:51
  Like she hasn't been to the
• 42:54
  games last year, maybe last time was what,
• 42:56
  two years ago?
• 42:56
  Last couple of years.
• 42:59
  She's having a great start to the season.
• 43:01
  She looked great in the open.
• 43:03
  Awesome in the WFP qualifiers.
• 43:06
  Just, you know,
• 43:07
  kind of like Colton a
• 43:08
  little bit has had really
• 43:10
  an impressive start to the
• 43:12
  year and for her to punch her ticket.
• 43:15
  And honestly,
• 43:16
  she didn't have anything that
• 43:17
  was very bad all weekend.
• 43:18
  She was just consistent.
• 43:21
  Very impressive there.
• 43:23
  On the bad for me, yeah, I mean, Alexis,
• 43:27
  I was just surprised.
• 43:29
  I expected more.
• 43:29
  And then Shelby Neal,
• 43:31
  not really sure what
• 43:32
  happened with her this weekend.
• 43:34
  Like, she finished sixth in that field.
• 43:37
  And she's someone that is so good normally,
• 43:41
  very consistent.
• 43:43
  She might have one bad event
• 43:44
  here and there.
• 43:44
  And I don't know if it just –
• 43:47
  It's tough if things aren't
• 43:48
  going well right from the
• 43:49
  get-go and mentally you
• 43:52
  know you're checked out.
• 43:54
  Sometimes those competitions
• 43:55
  are just hard to continue.
• 43:58
  So I'm not really sure for
• 44:00
  her what happened there.
• 44:02
  Yeah.
• 44:05
  That one surprised me a lot
• 44:06
  because I picked her as a
• 44:07
  dark horse last week.
• 44:09
  Really like her too.
• 44:11
  On the men's side...
• 44:15
  I didn't think Kale would do
• 44:16
  as terrible as he did.
• 44:19
  Can you imagine doing five
• 44:21
  events in a competition
• 44:22
  your score is zero?
• 44:24
  No, I can't.
• 44:25
  I honestly don't know how he
• 44:30
  finished as high as he did in the open.
• 44:32
  I'm just confused.
• 44:39
  It just didn't make sense to me at all.
• 44:41
  I'm like, I don't know.
• 44:43
  For years, we'd have people that do really,
• 44:46
  really well in the open,
• 44:46
  and when they get in live competition,
• 44:48
  they don't do well.
• 44:49
  But he doesn't even appear
• 44:50
  to be an open freak.
• 44:56
  I can't see straight fitness
• 44:58
  out of that guy.
• 44:59
  I don't know.
• 45:01
  He's done well the last couple years,
• 45:02
  though, in the open.
• 45:03
  I saw his name.
• 45:04
  There's got to be those
• 45:06
  movements that pop up in the open,
• 45:07
  like the burpees, the wall walks.
• 45:11
  Yeah.
• 45:13
  those movements must be like
• 45:14
  really wheelhouse stuff for him.
• 45:18
  Like, it's just different.
• 45:20
  Like these are higher skill,
• 45:22
  heavier weights running.
• 45:23
  You don't see for distance there.
• 45:25
  His burpees may be good, but now he's,
• 45:27
  you know, five foot.
• 45:28
  He's got to go above a forty
• 45:29
  eight inch box.
• 45:32
  The echo bike.
• 45:32
  We don't see that in the open.
• 45:34
  The legless rope climbs.
• 45:35
  We don't see that.
• 45:36
  He's short also, which also is a, you know,
• 45:38
  a bad thing for.
• 45:41
  in a men's field that has, you know,
• 45:43
  plenty of guys that can do
• 45:44
  it in like three to four reach.
• 45:48
  The GHDs,
• 45:48
  you don't see like the seventy
• 45:51
  and a hundred pound dumbbell.
• 45:52
  Like there's a lot of things
• 45:53
  that you don't see in the
• 45:54
  open that you can kind of hide.
• 45:57
  which is why like they're
• 45:59
  the relevant test,
• 46:01
  but you need the more tests,
• 46:03
  the more you find out about an athlete.
• 46:05
  And that's why I was like
• 46:06
  someone that's consistent, you know,
• 46:08
  they're good at the open
• 46:09
  ones and they're good at the higher skill,
• 46:11
  heavier weights.
• 46:12
  And there's people that have
• 46:14
  holes in both.
• 46:16
  Some people are good one way
• 46:18
  and not very good engine
• 46:19
  and body weight just going in the open.
• 46:21
  And some people are more on that end,
• 46:24
  which is why I've always
• 46:24
  said if you're going to
• 46:25
  have qualification through
• 46:26
  an online portal and
• 46:28
  everyone has done the same test,
• 46:30
  count all the open and online together.
• 46:36
  Take away everyone else and
• 46:37
  that's one percent.
• 46:39
  They're different tests.
• 46:40
  Lynn said he said all his
• 46:41
  worst movements were in the classic.
• 46:44
  He was like F.
• 46:46
  Well,
• 46:46
  I think that would be Captain Obvious.
• 46:50
  I mean,
• 46:51
  then you're just not good at CrossFit.
• 46:53
  He scores zero on every event.
• 46:55
  Yeah.
• 46:55
  I don't know.
• 46:59
  It was hard to watch him.
• 47:02
  But in the same time,
• 47:04
  and I probably come across
• 47:05
  like an asshole,
• 47:06
  but it was hard to watch Paige.
• 47:10
  I love Paige.
• 47:12
  I don't know.
• 47:13
  I was actually really impressed with her.
• 47:15
  Yeah.
• 47:16
  Like I would say Paige did
• 47:17
  better than kale.
• 47:18
  That's what's sad.
• 47:20
  She is eight weeks out and
• 47:21
  she looked better.
• 47:26
  Yes.
• 47:26
  She snatched one fifty five.
• 47:29
  She did all those outlets
• 47:31
  out there on the floor that
• 47:33
  soon to come in dead last.
• 47:36
  She almost didn't take last
• 47:38
  on two events like pages by
• 47:39
  breastfeeding between
• 47:40
  events and then coming out
• 47:42
  and doing her workouts like
• 47:43
  I knew you'd come after me on this.
• 47:46
  It's crazy.
• 47:47
  While I agree with you,
• 47:48
  I was... There was only eight... Well,
• 47:50
  there was only eighteen spots.
• 47:51
  There were supposed to be twenty.
• 47:53
  There was only eighteen spots.
• 47:55
  You wanted them to have
• 47:55
  seventeen and just not ever?
• 47:56
  I mean,
• 47:57
  they clearly couldn't fill the field.
• 48:01
  What was the point?
• 48:02
  I don't know, CrossFit.
• 48:03
  I agree.
• 48:04
  I just think more people
• 48:05
  should have been invited before Paige.
• 48:07
  That's all I'm saying.
• 48:09
  That's it.
• 48:11
  Right.
• 48:12
  I don't know.
• 48:12
  She, she beat Kale Lehman in my book.
• 48:14
  So she did not finish last.
• 48:16
  I'm sorry.
• 48:24
  I will stop picking on Paige.
• 48:26
  I love Paige.
• 48:28
  Paige is one of my favorites.
• 48:31
  I just wonder how her body
• 48:32
  is going to feel after this weekend.
• 48:33
  That's a shock.
• 48:35
  I'm so nervous she's going
• 48:36
  to have rhabdo and be in the hospital.
• 48:39
  This is not going to be good.
• 48:41
  I'm seriously nervous for her.
• 48:43
  Cat's with you.
• 48:46
  When she finished those GHGs, I'm like,
• 48:49
  you probably need to go breastfeed.
• 48:51
  You need to stop.
• 48:51
  You should just stop this workout.
• 48:56
  But I mean, yeah,
• 48:59
  we'll just leave it at that.
• 49:00
  I don't want to say anything
• 49:01
  else to get me in trouble.
• 49:05
  I love Paige.
• 49:05
  Let's just say that I love Paige.
• 49:07
  And I think she's going to
• 49:08
  come back and be an awesome
• 49:09
  athlete again.
• 49:12
  And maybe like mentally,
• 49:13
  this is her motivation.
• 49:14
  Like this competition for
• 49:15
  her was motivation to get
• 49:16
  back in shape after having a baby.
• 49:18
  Because like,
• 49:19
  I can't imagine how difficult
• 49:20
  it is to have a baby and
• 49:21
  just like start that process like over.
• 49:24
  And maybe that's why she
• 49:25
  wanted like that two month mark to just,
• 49:28
  you know,
• 49:29
  train and have something like a
• 49:30
  purposeful get back to it
• 49:33
  type thing versus not
• 49:34
  having a competition for her.
• 49:36
  Who knows?
• 49:37
  But I mean,
• 49:39
  what she was able to do two
• 49:40
  weeks after or two weeks,
• 49:42
  two months is impressive.
• 49:46
  Nonetheless, whether it was healthy or not,
• 49:50
  I have no idea, but it was impressive.
• 49:52
  All right.
• 49:54
  So that,
• 49:55
  so now we have four tickets
• 49:57
  punched to the CrossFit games.
• 50:00
  And that's pretty awesome.
• 50:03
  We are deep in the season now.
• 50:06
  I just went and checked the leaderboard,
• 50:07
  still blank, for the age groups,
• 50:11
  which we were waiting for.
• 50:12
  Speaking of Nistler, she is badass, too.
• 50:15
  Dude, Nistler, yeah.
• 50:16
  She's good.
• 50:18
  Yeah.
• 50:20
  She did similar last year, too.
• 50:22
  She popped a baby, and within a week,
• 50:24
  she did thrusters at one
• 50:27
  twenty-five in the open,
• 50:29
  and bar muscle-ups within a week.
• 50:31
  And ended up winning the
• 50:32
  CrossFit Games for the five
• 50:34
  to thirty nine year olds.
• 50:35
  Yep.
• 50:36
  She's she's she's a freak.
• 50:41
  So let's hit some quick new
• 50:42
  stuff and then we'll get
• 50:42
  into the age group
• 50:44
  semifinals from the weekend.
• 50:47
  It's been reported this week
• 50:48
  that games tickets are not
• 50:50
  selling as fast as the past.
• 50:53
  The one thing I will say, and it is slow,
• 50:55
  I'm not debating that,
• 50:57
  but this arena is much
• 50:58
  bigger than any arena that
• 50:59
  the games have ever been in.
• 51:01
  So there are way more tickets on sale.
• 51:06
  One,
• 51:06
  I think the price is a little outlandish.
• 51:09
  Yeah.
• 51:10
  Especially when you've cut
• 51:11
  it from like a three to
• 51:13
  five day event or five day
• 51:15
  event to a three day event.
• 51:19
  And the price goes up by a
• 51:20
  couple hundred bucks.
• 51:23
  Um, so that's a little bit insane.
• 51:26
  Uh,
• 51:27
  but there's been a lot of allegations
• 51:30
  about maybe in the past,
• 51:32
  the games didn't really sell out, uh,
• 51:35
  that it was just a way to
• 51:37
  make it look that way.
• 51:40
  So, um,
• 51:42
  I guess I could probably see
• 51:43
  something like that.
• 51:46
  Uh, Daniel churches,
• 51:47
  because there's literally
• 51:48
  nothing going on in Albany,
• 51:49
  but there really wasn't a
• 51:50
  lot going on in Madison.
• 51:52
  Um,
• 51:53
  where the games were.
• 51:54
  That's probably a good thing.
• 51:56
  Yeah.
• 51:57
  That's a dead time in the
• 51:58
  year two in Madison.
• 52:00
  Like there's like the
• 52:01
  athletes aren't there.
• 52:01
  The students aren't there.
• 52:02
  That's why it was so great.
• 52:04
  They should have never
• 52:05
  messed with a good thing.
• 52:06
  And then you can't say
• 52:06
  that's the reason they're
• 52:07
  not selling at Albany.
• 52:10
  Right.
• 52:13
  So, yeah.
• 52:15
  And the,
• 52:17
  Denise says you always saw
• 52:17
  empty seats in the past.
• 52:19
  Yeah.
• 52:20
  But what happened is like,
• 52:22
  if you were an age group fan,
• 52:24
  you had to buy the same
• 52:26
  seat than if you were,
• 52:27
  if it was the elite and maybe you,
• 52:32
  it got confusing because
• 52:33
  you couldn't always be
• 52:34
  there for every event
• 52:36
  because maybe the age
• 52:37
  groups were going in another place or.
• 52:39
  Right.
• 52:42
  Anyway.
• 52:44
  Um, um,
• 52:50
  I hate that there's no outdoor venue.
• 52:52
  Yeah,
• 52:52
  I don't think we're going to see that
• 52:53
  for a little bit.
• 52:54
  A lot of people are blaming the tariffs.
• 53:01
  Sure.
• 53:07
  Actually,
• 53:08
  I do believe this does have
• 53:09
  something to do with it.
• 53:10
  Should stay in the Midwest
• 53:11
  easier for each coast to travel?
• 53:13
  Yes, Madison isn't easy to get to,
• 53:15
  but it's easier to road trip to Madison.
• 53:21
  Yeah.
• 53:23
  Yeah, the Midwest,
• 53:24
  then both coasts can get
• 53:25
  there relatively easy,
• 53:28
  where if you go to one coast or the other,
• 53:29
  it gets really difficult
• 53:30
  for the other to go cross-country.
• 53:36
  I'm excited to see how the
• 53:38
  age groups do in Columbus.
• 53:42
  Me too.
• 53:44
  Cause there's a,
• 53:45
  there is a lot of like
• 53:47
  eateries and bars and
• 53:49
  nightclubs and all right
• 53:51
  around that convention center.
• 53:52
  Columbus is a great city.
• 53:55
  And so in walking distance from the arena,
• 53:58
  you just walk out the door
• 53:59
  and you're in what's called
• 54:00
  the short North,
• 54:01
  which is like the hotspot
• 54:03
  of downtown Columbus.
• 54:07
  So I'm super excited to see
• 54:09
  what happens here.
• 54:10
  I hope people come.
• 54:13
  And I've actually thought
• 54:14
  about reaching out to Joe and Bob and say,
• 54:17
  hey,
• 54:17
  do you want me to go do some videos
• 54:19
  around the convention
• 54:22
  center showing what all is
• 54:24
  in walking distance, stuff like that,
• 54:27
  and put it out there?
• 54:27
  That'd be cool.
• 54:28
  That would be cool.
• 54:33
  You should just do it.
• 54:36
  Mid-major cities, good airports,
• 54:37
  only shows in town.
• 54:39
  Columbus hits that list too.
• 54:41
  Yeah, like they said.
• 54:43
  We have an international airport.
• 54:45
  We are the hub for Delta.
• 54:52
  Oh boy, Little Rock.
• 55:00
  Okay.
• 55:03
  Arkansas.
• 55:04
  well hey thanks for sharing
• 55:06
  the rumor mill yeah some of
• 55:08
  us aren't in on these
• 55:09
  things nope um the other
• 55:13
  thing the other thing that
• 55:14
  has happened this week I'm
• 55:16
  just hitting the quick hit
• 55:17
  news and that is uh
• 55:18
  syndicate crown and tfx
• 55:20
  have both sent out their initial invites
• 55:22
  uh to athletes people have
• 55:23
  accepted um and that they
• 55:26
  are uh some are accepting
• 55:28
  and they're posting it to
• 55:29
  instagram I saw ariel lowen
• 55:32
  accepted her tfx invite
• 55:34
  already okay and tfx
• 55:36
  announced it now hopefully
• 55:39
  that's a real announcement
• 55:40
  and not a leaked
• 55:40
  announcement like was done
• 55:41
  with heavy isabel just
• 55:44
  kidding is too soon no
• 55:47
  Okay.
• 55:49
  Speaking of Ariel,
• 55:50
  great interview with her this week.
• 55:52
  If you didn't catch it,
• 55:53
  did that Wednesday evening.
• 55:55
  It's still out there for everyone to view.
• 55:59
  So look for that.
• 56:04
  Did you get an invite?
• 56:05
  You got an invite, Carolyn.
• 56:06
  Did you decide what you're doing yet?
• 56:08
  I declined it.
• 56:10
  Okay.
• 56:11
  You declined syndicate?
• 56:13
  What's that?
• 56:14
  You declined syndicate?
• 56:15
  Yeah, I did.
• 56:15
  Okay.
• 56:16
  I already have, um, I've,
• 56:19
  I've already accepted my NorCal one.
• 56:21
  That one was like,
• 56:22
  four hundred bucks that I
• 56:23
  already paid American.
• 56:24
  Right.
• 56:24
  Like, it's a lot Canadian.
• 56:30
  Um,
• 56:30
  so I already accepted that one cause I
• 56:31
  was planning on doing that one and it's,
• 56:34
  you know, close to Lex.
• 56:36
  So it just makes sense for me.
• 56:38
  Um, those,
• 56:38
  but those two weekends being back to back,
• 56:41
  I just can't take that time
• 56:43
  off work like that.
• 56:44
  Like it's impossible.
• 56:45
  Like I can't miss.
• 56:46
  before exams coming up for school and,
• 56:51
  and stuff, um, two back-to-back weekends.
• 56:54
  It's not possible.
• 56:55
  So, I mean, um,
• 56:58
  I could get another chance
• 56:59
  to get an invite if I don't
• 57:01
  make it through the online
• 57:02
  and affiliate semifinals,
• 57:04
  then they have another group of athletes.
• 57:06
  And maybe if I look at the
• 57:08
  field and decide there,
• 57:10
  if I feel I had a better
• 57:11
  shot through that one,
• 57:13
  but at this point I feel
• 57:14
  like I'm going to NorCal as my, um,
• 57:18
  one semifinal that I'll do.
• 57:21
  So they're asking if that,
• 57:22
  for a hundred dollars is
• 57:23
  like two grand Canadian.
• 57:24
  I almost said it was close to like,
• 57:26
  I swear, like six hundred.
• 57:29
  It's funny because I didn't really know.
• 57:32
  I didn't really care about
• 57:32
  the conversion because I
• 57:34
  haven't been to Canada in a while.
• 57:35
  And and when Emily won the
• 57:38
  three grand for the last event,
• 57:40
  I was like, Canadian man,
• 57:42
  she's like really rich.
• 57:50
  Lynn says you'll crush online, Carolyn.
• 57:52
  So I'm hoping.
• 57:56
  There are rumors swirling everywhere.
• 57:58
  We have the Arkansas rumor.
• 58:00
  It was starting here.
• 58:03
  Then we have Kenneth going.
• 58:04
  I thought it was Europe.
• 58:06
  Lynn, Arkansas.
• 58:07
  She's going to have to pull
• 58:08
  out a map for that one.
• 58:10
  And Julian Eifert said Los Angeles,
• 58:12
  California, twenty twenty six games.
• 58:16
  I hope not.
• 58:17
  Yeah.
• 58:20
  um and then crossfit said
• 58:22
  come on you have money
• 58:23
  rogers just spent like
• 58:24
  twelve billion on the nhl
• 58:29
  that was huge that's a lot
• 58:33
  um and that was just
• 58:34
  broadcasting rights in
• 58:35
  canada right wow insane um
• 58:43
  we also have wfp uh do we
• 58:46
  want to get to this
• 58:48
  The Challenger leaderboard
• 58:50
  had adjustments.
• 58:54
  One of our very own was
• 58:56
  swept up in those adjustments.
• 58:58
  I'm dumb.
• 59:00
  I didn't read clearly.
• 59:03
  It was the weight.
• 59:04
  Weighing?
• 59:05
  Weighing the weights.
• 59:08
  I don't know why they didn't
• 59:09
  highlight that somewhere.
• 59:11
  In a video somewhere like...
• 59:14
  I mean, it's my own fault.
• 59:16
  And I read through the rules.
• 59:17
  I just somehow missed that line.
• 59:19
  I read the two lines below
• 59:22
  that where it's like,
• 59:23
  go slow over all your
• 59:24
  measurements and showing
• 59:25
  everything because people
• 59:26
  tend to go fast over that stuff.
• 59:27
  And I went really slow over
• 59:29
  everything when I videoed.
• 59:32
  I just, I don't know.
• 59:34
  And it was only on the very first page.
• 59:36
  Like I should have told you.
• 59:38
  Cause I like,
• 59:39
  I did mine and like I weighed
• 59:42
  and I was like, I should,
• 59:44
  I should have just
• 59:44
  communicated that with you.
• 59:46
  Yeah.
• 59:46
  Yeah.
• 59:47
  Help a girl.
• 59:47
  Yeah.
• 59:48
  I, yeah.
• 59:48
  Trevor's married.
• 59:49
  I was pretty good about reading rules,
• 59:52
  but like I fine tooth
• 59:53
  combed each workout and
• 59:55
  went through like every
• 59:56
  possible no rep every like,
• 59:58
  why wasn't it on that page?
• 1:00:02
  There was, it was one spot.
• 1:00:04
  It wasn't highlighted in any videos.
• 1:00:05
  It wasn't like, like, well,
• 1:00:08
  I talked about this story or something.
• 1:00:11
  That's why I saw it.
• 1:00:13
  So I talked about this on the lunch show.
• 1:00:16
  And when you look at the workouts,
• 1:00:17
  they lay it out differently
• 1:00:18
  than other people ever have.
• 1:00:21
  They actually have a section
• 1:00:22
  just for video separate
• 1:00:24
  from the workout stuff.
• 1:00:25
  Right.
• 1:00:26
  And I think that's actually
• 1:00:27
  a better layout, but it's just, it's new.
• 1:00:32
  and I mean it's in the rules
• 1:00:38
  I know and I'm not there
• 1:00:40
  was like I bet you there
• 1:00:42
  was like twenty thirty
• 1:00:42
  girls that got dinged with
• 1:00:43
  it and it's but it's all
• 1:00:44
  like more of these like
• 1:00:46
  independent athletes like
• 1:00:47
  everyone that was part of a
• 1:00:49
  team clearly like clearly
• 1:00:52
  one person figured it out
• 1:00:53
  and they all did it like all of the
• 1:00:56
  TTT people and everyone like knew I just,
• 1:01:00
  you know, for one, I was rushed.
• 1:01:02
  I was trying to do it before packing,
• 1:01:04
  you know,
• 1:01:04
  like I just last minute signed up.
• 1:01:07
  Um, I, it just,
• 1:01:08
  that would never cross my mind,
• 1:01:10
  like weighing out two
• 1:01:11
  hundred twenty five pounds
• 1:01:12
  for deadlift and what like, that's crazy.
• 1:01:16
  Yeah,
• 1:01:17
  so here are the ten men that are
• 1:01:19
  making it into the elite
• 1:01:21
  division or the pro
• 1:01:22
  division for Indianapolis.
• 1:01:24
  And that's Colton, Enola Kai,
• 1:01:26
  Nate Ackerman, Tola Maracanio,
• 1:01:29
  Tanner Balazs, Danny Camacho,
• 1:01:31
  Colin Bossard, Nick Matthew,
• 1:01:34
  Fabian Benito Celis, and Chris Ibarra.
• 1:01:39
  And I believe that Tudor was
• 1:01:40
  actually affected by a ruling as well,
• 1:01:43
  and he was in the ten and fell out.
• 1:01:46
  He's been on that side of
• 1:01:47
  things quite often too.
• 1:01:48
  Yeah, that's amazing.
• 1:01:48
  For like video reviews.
• 1:01:50
  Yeah.
• 1:01:53
  And then on the women's side,
• 1:01:54
  it's Eleven because it was
• 1:01:55
  announced Emma McQuaid is
• 1:01:57
  withdrawing from the
• 1:01:58
  Indianapolis competition.
• 1:02:00
  So they are actually taking Eleven.
• 1:02:02
  And it's Andreas Oberg, Ella Wilkinson,
• 1:02:05
  Annika Greer, Fee Sagafi, Lexi Neal,
• 1:02:08
  Lydia Fish, Linda Keisman, Trista Smith,
• 1:02:11
  Jamie Simmons, Emily Rethwell,
• 1:02:14
  and Var Thurman-Moe.
• 1:02:16
  This is a good mixture of
• 1:02:18
  like experienced athletes
• 1:02:20
  and athletes that I've had
• 1:02:22
  other type of experience,
• 1:02:23
  like whether it's teenagers or team,
• 1:02:25
  there's some, some good challenges.
• 1:02:33
  Yeah.
• 1:02:33
  I didn't realize I was like
• 1:02:34
  kind of excited to go do
• 1:02:35
  that until that came through.
• 1:02:36
  And then I was really bummed.
• 1:02:38
  Cause you were really just
• 1:02:39
  doing it for funsies at first.
• 1:02:41
  And then you qualified.
• 1:02:44
  Or thought I did.
• 1:02:45
  You don't know what you got
• 1:02:46
  until it's gone.
• 1:02:49
  I know.
• 1:02:49
  You should write a song about that.
• 1:02:54
  Um, I do,
• 1:02:56
  I do like the way that it was done,
• 1:02:59
  that the layout was done by WFP.
• 1:03:01
  I think it's much cleaner
• 1:03:03
  than like the rogue.
• 1:03:04
  Ten pages and you got to
• 1:03:05
  sift through it all in one steady stream.
• 1:03:09
  Now,
• 1:03:09
  when you're like looking at the workout,
• 1:03:11
  you look at the workout and
• 1:03:12
  then the people that are
• 1:03:13
  worried about the video part of it,
• 1:03:14
  look at the video part of
• 1:03:15
  it and you can look at them
• 1:03:17
  in the sections you need to at the time.
• 1:03:20
  Um,
• 1:03:21
  So I actually applaud the
• 1:03:22
  way it's laid out.
• 1:03:23
  I just wish they would have
• 1:03:25
  demoed it because it was
• 1:03:26
  new and something different.
• 1:03:28
  But they don't have to.
• 1:03:29
  I know.
• 1:03:31
  I just think if you're a competition,
• 1:03:33
  you want the best people there.
• 1:03:35
  You want to let them know
• 1:03:37
  these are the rules we're
• 1:03:37
  putting forth to make sure
• 1:03:39
  that cheaters don't get through.
• 1:03:40
  Yeah.
• 1:03:42
  I mean, it brought up like...
• 1:03:44
  I don't know.
• 1:03:45
  I think it raised the, from me,
• 1:03:47
  like six people down.
• 1:03:50
  So somewhere in that,
• 1:03:50
  like for basically twenty
• 1:03:52
  nine to like thirty five all got booted.
• 1:03:56
  Wow.
• 1:04:00
  That's crazy.
• 1:04:01
  Apparently,
• 1:04:01
  Jamie Simmons is declining her invite,
• 1:04:03
  so that'll knock everyone else up one.
• 1:04:06
  Why is she declining?
• 1:04:07
  She injured.
• 1:04:08
  Yeah, that's a good question.
• 1:04:13
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:04:18
  So that's happening, gosh,
• 1:04:19
  in a couple of weeks now, right?
• 1:04:21
  Yeah.
• 1:04:22
  Which actually it's the same
• 1:04:24
  weekend as the Masters
• 1:04:26
  Fitness Collective qualifier.
• 1:04:30
  So that would have been kind of tough.
• 1:04:32
  So whatever.
• 1:04:36
  Okay.
• 1:04:36
  I didn't try it.
• 1:04:39
  Um,
• 1:04:40
  there's also been a slew of off season
• 1:04:43
  drug tests.
• 1:04:47
  I heard someone got tested.
• 1:04:50
  Yeah.
• 1:04:50
  Yeah.
• 1:04:50
  I was at work and like,
• 1:04:51
  it's like eight AM.
• 1:04:52
  So my first class at eight, ten,
• 1:04:54
  and I received the
• 1:04:55
  notification at like eight AM.
• 1:04:57
  And don't see it because I'm
• 1:04:58
  not on my phone when I work,
• 1:05:00
  but I do my attendance on my phone.
• 1:05:02
  So I was doing my attendance
• 1:05:04
  and then I saw that I have
• 1:05:06
  a call from like Buffalo, New York.
• 1:05:08
  And I'm like, well, that's weird.
• 1:05:10
  I'm like,
• 1:05:10
  but sometimes I look at homes and
• 1:05:12
  stuff like in that area for like,
• 1:05:14
  lex and stuff so I'm like
• 1:05:16
  this is like a real estate
• 1:05:17
  I'm like why are they
• 1:05:18
  calling at eight a.m so
• 1:05:19
  like I canceled it and then
• 1:05:22
  I see that a voicemail was
• 1:05:23
  left and I just kind of
• 1:05:24
  looked and I was like uh
• 1:05:25
  crossfit drug testing condo
• 1:05:27
  and I just look at I'm like
• 1:05:29
  oh shit like they're
• 1:05:30
  heading to my condo right
• 1:05:31
  now I'm like I'm not home
• 1:05:32
  so like I called back right
• 1:05:33
  away I'm like I'm like hold
• 1:05:35
  on students you guys just you know
• 1:05:37
  Warm up right now is my fitness class.
• 1:05:39
  So I called and then they're like,
• 1:05:41
  we're about forty minutes,
• 1:05:43
  forty five minutes from your condo.
• 1:05:44
  You should have gotten like
• 1:05:45
  an email yesterday.
• 1:05:47
  I was like, I don't get anything.
• 1:05:48
  I was like and I look back on my phone.
• 1:05:50
  I saw that I had an email
• 1:05:51
  like ten minutes prior and I was like,
• 1:05:54
  I'm not home.
• 1:05:55
  I was like,
• 1:05:55
  is there any way you can come
• 1:05:56
  to my school?
• 1:05:57
  And then she was saying that
• 1:05:59
  she was coming from Buffalo.
• 1:06:00
  So like where I work,
• 1:06:01
  it's actually like closer
• 1:06:02
  to Toronto than that.
• 1:06:03
  So then they came to my
• 1:06:04
  school and I had my
• 1:06:06
  principal cover my class.
• 1:06:07
  I'm like, you know,
• 1:06:09
  when I get like drug tested,
• 1:06:10
  like I don't want them
• 1:06:11
  going like around me in the
• 1:06:12
  school with my students.
• 1:06:13
  So if you could cover my class.
• 1:06:16
  So yeah, no, it was good.
• 1:06:18
  Like I was pleasantly
• 1:06:21
  surprised that like there
• 1:06:22
  was no notification.
• 1:06:24
  Like it was like very short term,
• 1:06:25
  like within an hour, like,
• 1:06:27
  Within an hour of my email,
• 1:06:29
  an hour and a half,
• 1:06:31
  I had already done the drug test there.
• 1:06:35
  So I hope there's more of
• 1:06:36
  that because in my ten years,
• 1:06:39
  ten plus years of like
• 1:06:41
  being like at regionals, all of that,
• 1:06:43
  like eleven years, I guess,
• 1:06:45
  regional semifinals.
• 1:06:47
  I don't think I've ever gone
• 1:06:48
  in out of competition testing.
• 1:06:51
  And that is crazy because
• 1:06:53
  I've had my whereabouts
• 1:06:55
  every three months and I have to post.
• 1:06:56
  And I'm like,
• 1:06:57
  they don't even fricking test
• 1:06:58
  like half the,
• 1:06:59
  like they only test like a little group.
• 1:07:01
  And I'm like, this is so stupid.
• 1:07:03
  Cause I'm like so many
• 1:07:03
  people can get away with whatever.
• 1:07:05
  And then,
• 1:07:06
  and then they emailed and I was
• 1:07:07
  like about time that they
• 1:07:08
  fricking do some like
• 1:07:10
  random drug testing.
• 1:07:11
  I'm like,
• 1:07:11
  they should be doing more of this.
• 1:07:14
  but like it's not normal
• 1:07:15
  that like for so many years
• 1:07:16
  like I've never gotten
• 1:07:17
  tested yeah like at the
• 1:07:18
  games like are like at
• 1:07:20
  semi-finals uh when you
• 1:07:22
  qualify that's you know
• 1:07:25
  when you're within your top
• 1:07:26
  ten but like that's known
• 1:07:27
  you know that you're
• 1:07:27
  getting tested I'm like
• 1:07:28
  test people during
• 1:07:30
  competitions at their
• 1:07:31
  affiliate like go test well
• 1:07:35
  that's because that's
• 1:07:37
  because every time they
• 1:07:38
  come test you they test lex instead
• 1:07:45
  Well, you posted that and I was like,
• 1:07:48
  I'm glad I didn't get a
• 1:07:50
  notification because I
• 1:07:51
  don't know what would have
• 1:07:52
  happened if I was in Cancun.
• 1:07:54
  Yeah.
• 1:07:54
  Like I was like,
• 1:07:55
  thank God I was not in
• 1:07:56
  California right now.
• 1:07:57
  Like I was like, geez,
• 1:07:59
  like how does that work?
• 1:08:01
  Well,
• 1:08:01
  you give your three months where about,
• 1:08:03
  and if you travel,
• 1:08:04
  like if you're away for, you know,
• 1:08:07
  certain dates,
• 1:08:07
  but there's odd times where
• 1:08:09
  I forget and I might just
• 1:08:11
  do a last minute trip to go see Lex,
• 1:08:12
  like in Cali.
• 1:08:13
  So I'm glad that it wasn't that,
• 1:08:15
  or sometimes like Easter weekend,
• 1:08:17
  like I'm going to go home
• 1:08:18
  to see my family.
• 1:08:19
  So, I mean,
• 1:08:20
  I guess I could drive back to
• 1:08:22
  Toronto if needed.
• 1:08:24
  Um,
• 1:08:24
  but is there like a portal for this
• 1:08:27
  three month where I've
• 1:08:28
  never heard of this?
• 1:08:31
  I,
• 1:08:31
  so the people that have like been like
• 1:08:33
  at the, um, like at the games,
• 1:08:38
  like I know like you, you set like you,
• 1:08:41
  you're like on a list of
• 1:08:42
  like whereabouts that you post.
• 1:08:44
  So like I get an email every
• 1:08:45
  like few months to say like,
• 1:08:46
  update your whereabouts,
• 1:08:47
  update your address.
• 1:08:48
  Okay.
• 1:08:49
  Um,
• 1:08:50
  but normally like I'm always in Toronto.
• 1:08:51
  So like,
• 1:08:52
  So I'm either at the gym, school or home,
• 1:08:54
  like,
• 1:08:56
  but I happen to be at my school there.
• 1:08:59
  So my students thought it was cool.
• 1:09:00
  They're like, madam, drink water,
• 1:09:02
  drink water.
• 1:09:02
  Cause I told them I was
• 1:09:03
  getting drug tested.
• 1:09:04
  And I'm like, guys,
• 1:09:05
  so I explained them how it works.
• 1:09:06
  And I'm like, when you're an athlete,
• 1:09:08
  like you have to give your
• 1:09:10
  whereabouts and they can show up.
• 1:09:13
  And so like,
• 1:09:13
  they thought it was really cool.
• 1:09:15
  Um,
• 1:09:16
  And they're,
• 1:09:16
  they're telling me to hydrate some water.
• 1:09:18
  I'm like, please,
• 1:09:19
  I need to drink so that I
• 1:09:19
  don't miss like my next class.
• 1:09:21
  Like,
• 1:09:21
  cause I didn't want to miss my math
• 1:09:23
  class.
• 1:09:23
  All right.
• 1:09:27
  So yeah, I know Jason Grubb got tested.
• 1:09:30
  I know Carolyn got tested.
• 1:09:32
  I think I saw one, I think like fee,
• 1:09:35
  maybe Abby Domet too.
• 1:09:37
  Um, all got tested out of comp.
• 1:09:40
  Um,
• 1:09:41
  and then Patrick did have a joke about,
• 1:09:43
  Um, test deposit for maple syrup, bacon,
• 1:09:45
  and bagged milk.
• 1:09:50
  Uh,
• 1:09:51
  and Denise says he doesn't think the
• 1:09:53
  three month thing is for
• 1:09:55
  masters athletes.
• 1:09:59
  When I fill out my thingy,
• 1:10:00
  it says what division am I in?
• 1:10:04
  Elite, whatever, Masters,
• 1:10:06
  it gives options for thingies.
• 1:10:08
  I've always written just woman division,
• 1:10:11
  which I still will now.
• 1:10:13
  I'm still competing in the
• 1:10:14
  women's division,
• 1:10:15
  even though I'm doing the Masters.
• 1:10:18
  Yeah, Dallin did as well.
• 1:10:20
  I think Emily did too.
• 1:10:23
  I think you're right.
• 1:10:25
  Yeah,
• 1:10:25
  so I'm just happy that they're doing
• 1:10:27
  more.
• 1:10:27
  It seems like they're doing
• 1:10:28
  more testing anyways right now.
• 1:10:29
  So that's good.
• 1:10:31
  That's really good.
• 1:10:35
  So just before we went on the air,
• 1:10:37
  Carolyn sent some stuff to us.
• 1:10:40
  And this is a post from Copa Sur.
• 1:10:45
  And this is a workout
• 1:10:46
  announcement that they listed.
• 1:10:48
  And it is programmed by Mayhem.
• 1:10:51
  And it is four time, thirty,
• 1:10:54
  twenty four calorie echo bike,
• 1:10:56
  thirty bar muscle ups, thirty, twenty,
• 1:10:58
  forty, twenty four cal echo bike.
• 1:11:02
  IE event five.
• 1:11:05
  So.
• 1:11:07
  For weeks.
• 1:11:08
  And they have Isabel, don't they?
• 1:11:10
  Yeah, they do.
• 1:11:11
  You sent more.
• 1:11:12
  This is just the first one.
• 1:11:15
  And they have a running and squatting one,
• 1:11:16
  too.
• 1:11:17
  Yep.
• 1:11:18
  And so.
• 1:11:21
  We've been saying for a
• 1:11:23
  couple weeks now or months
• 1:11:25
  that with Mayhem
• 1:11:27
  programming so many of the events,
• 1:11:29
  would it be a conflict of interest?
• 1:11:32
  But what I think we're
• 1:11:33
  finding now is we may get
• 1:11:35
  like a very regional type
• 1:11:38
  in-person qualifying events
• 1:11:41
  because they may be
• 1:11:42
  programmed very similarly
• 1:11:43
  across all events.
• 1:11:46
  avenues um because this is
• 1:11:48
  exactly the final event of
• 1:11:51
  mayhem classic and now it's
• 1:11:52
  going to be in copasaur um
• 1:11:55
  some other ones that she
• 1:11:56
  sent to us were uh there we
• 1:12:00
  go heavy isabel which was
• 1:12:02
  going to be the north
• 1:12:03
  american semi-finals we're
• 1:12:04
  all doing it now copasaur
• 1:12:06
  has jumped on with that uh
• 1:12:08
  program by mayhem and they
• 1:12:11
  have a five rounds for time
• 1:12:13
  eight hundred meter run ten thrusters
• 1:12:18
  And the European one has a three-round,
• 1:12:22
  eight-hundred-meter.
• 1:12:23
  Yeah, that one.
• 1:12:24
  Yeah, this one.
• 1:12:25
  It's a reel,
• 1:12:26
  so I'm going to just pull it
• 1:12:27
  up here in our notes.
• 1:12:31
  And this is Wadland Fest,
• 1:12:33
  programmed by Mayhem as well.
• 1:12:35
  Time cap of twenty minutes.
• 1:12:36
  Twenty sandbag squats,
• 1:12:37
  eight-hundred-meter run.
• 1:12:39
  Fifteen sandbag squats,
• 1:12:40
  eight-hundred-meter run.
• 1:12:42
  Ten sandbag squats,
• 1:12:44
  eight-hundred-meter run.
• 1:12:45
  Also their first test.
• 1:12:47
  Ooh, that's heavy.
• 1:12:48
  Gross.
• 1:12:49
  Yeah.
• 1:12:49
  And it is a two hundred one
• 1:12:50
  fifty pound sandbag.
• 1:12:53
  Yuck.
• 1:12:55
  So definitely some themes
• 1:12:56
  that we're seeing, you know, the Isabel,
• 1:12:58
  the finale on the Echo Barma slubs,
• 1:13:00
  the eight hundred meters
• 1:13:02
  repeats with some sort of
• 1:13:04
  squatting involved.
• 1:13:06
  The or the Cope de Sur one is thrusters,
• 1:13:10
  which I guess has some
• 1:13:11
  vertical pressing instead
• 1:13:12
  of the burpees and some
• 1:13:15
  sort of squatting.
• 1:13:15
  So I'm like, well,
• 1:13:18
  We'll see if that is a theme
• 1:13:19
  in some of the other ones
• 1:13:20
  that they've programmed or
• 1:13:21
  helped program anyways.
• 1:13:25
  Lynn says, in Mayhem's defense,
• 1:13:27
  the competition program
• 1:13:27
  team is different and
• 1:13:29
  separate from the athlete coaching team,
• 1:13:31
  and they don't communicate to each other.
• 1:13:41
  I think if you listen to Rich's podcast,
• 1:13:45
  you will find that they try
• 1:13:46
  to communicate with each other.
• 1:13:49
  There were attempts in
• 1:13:50
  trying to learn what the
• 1:13:51
  workouts were ahead of time.
• 1:13:53
  And while Rich held true
• 1:13:56
  that they did not give any
• 1:13:57
  of that information away to
• 1:13:58
  a coach or an athlete,
• 1:14:01
  they did try to do that.
• 1:14:08
  but they are programming all
• 1:14:09
  these events and they are
• 1:14:12
  turning out to be very
• 1:14:13
  similar in their structure.
• 1:14:16
  Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
• 1:14:18
  Like we did that in
• 1:14:18
  regionals for years where
• 1:14:20
  all the regionals had the
• 1:14:21
  exact same workouts.
• 1:14:24
  Right.
• 1:14:24
  So is it,
• 1:14:25
  we said at the top of the show
• 1:14:27
  that mayhem did a good job.
• 1:14:29
  Um, we did a good job.
• 1:14:32
  They did a good job programming mayhem.
• 1:14:34
  We thought it was a well-programmed event.
• 1:14:37
  But are they all going to be five events?
• 1:14:40
  I don't know.
• 1:14:41
  I hope not.
• 1:14:44
  Well,
• 1:14:44
  some of the other events are three
• 1:14:45
  days and not two.
• 1:14:47
  Okay.
• 1:14:47
  So they should definitely
• 1:14:48
  have six at least.
• 1:14:53
  So I, um,
• 1:14:59
  I guess it doesn't add
• 1:15:00
  anything to the conflict of interest.
• 1:15:02
  It's just,
• 1:15:02
  are you cool with like a
• 1:15:03
  consistent programming
• 1:15:05
  through the in-person qualifying events?
• 1:15:09
  I mean,
• 1:15:10
  I actually think I'd probably
• 1:15:11
  rather see that.
• 1:15:13
  I'd rather see some consistency for sure.
• 1:15:16
  Um,
• 1:15:17
  it's just unfortunate for the ones that
• 1:15:18
  have to do it multiple times.
• 1:15:20
  That's the annoying part.
• 1:15:21
  Cause it's not like other
• 1:15:22
  years where you just get one shot at it.
• 1:15:26
  Um,
• 1:15:27
  But I do like that there's a
• 1:15:28
  similar path in terms of
• 1:15:30
  the workouts heading
• 1:15:32
  because then you just start
• 1:15:33
  looking at – I mean,
• 1:15:35
  you're still going to look at, oh,
• 1:15:37
  I wish I was in this field
• 1:15:38
  because I did these
• 1:15:39
  performances and this field
• 1:15:41
  was weaker or whatever.
• 1:15:45
  But I don't know.
• 1:15:47
  I don't think they'll all be the same,
• 1:15:49
  but –
• 1:15:50
  It was,
• 1:15:51
  it was interesting that Isabel was
• 1:15:52
  also programmed for, um,
• 1:15:55
  like the age group.
• 1:15:56
  Yeah.
• 1:15:57
  Like what were the chances of that?
• 1:15:59
  Well, yeah.
• 1:16:00
  So in affiliate semis are
• 1:16:01
  going to have actual heavy Isabel.
• 1:16:04
  That's what I'm like thinking.
• 1:16:08
  Or maybe it's heavy grace.
• 1:16:14
  I don't know I I do think
• 1:16:15
  it's it's probably fine
• 1:16:17
  that it's consistent other
• 1:16:19
  than the fact of it could
• 1:16:20
  be like a repeat workout
• 1:16:21
  for someone who's qualified
• 1:16:23
  trying to qualify in a
• 1:16:24
  couple different events
• 1:16:25
  yeah someone will try get
• 1:16:27
  to try heavy as isabel
• 1:16:29
  three four times or right
• 1:16:35
  so just an interesting
• 1:16:41
  observation that we we saw
• 1:16:44
  One thing I missed on the WFP,
• 1:16:46
  they did announce that the
• 1:16:47
  challenger group are going
• 1:16:49
  to be able to earn money.
• 1:16:51
  If you finish in the top five,
• 1:16:52
  you will earn money in the
• 1:16:54
  challenger series.
• 1:16:56
  But we announced previously
• 1:16:59
  that that was the only
• 1:17:00
  division not earning money
• 1:17:01
  for a podium finish.
• 1:17:03
  Now they've corrected that
• 1:17:05
  and the challenger will get top five,
• 1:17:08
  get all like a grand a piece.
• 1:17:10
  Yeah, same thing for the top five.
• 1:17:12
  So they'll get their points plus a grand,
• 1:17:16
  which at least it makes
• 1:17:18
  people want to maybe go to
• 1:17:21
  the challenger division.
• 1:17:24
  Yeah.
• 1:17:27
  But they need the points anyways, though.
• 1:17:30
  If you can get in the
• 1:17:30
  challenger and then you get
• 1:17:31
  in the pro in the next one,
• 1:17:32
  you can still have enough
• 1:17:33
  points to go to the finals
• 1:17:35
  and then it's double points.
• 1:17:37
  I think if you're...
• 1:17:39
  There's kind of two athletes.
• 1:17:41
  There's one,
• 1:17:41
  there's like an athlete that's
• 1:17:42
  just looking for the
• 1:17:43
  experience and we'll go.
• 1:17:45
  But if you legit think that
• 1:17:46
  you can get points and make the pro run,
• 1:17:51
  then you have to.
• 1:17:52
  Yes.
• 1:17:55
  Even if it's just two
• 1:17:56
  hundred and fifty points or
• 1:17:57
  whatever it is, like you try again.
• 1:18:02
  Boys Interrupted said it.
• 1:18:03
  Someone will do Isabel two to three times.
• 1:18:05
  Hopper and Sprague are going
• 1:18:06
  to do it two times now.
• 1:18:10
  Probably that's going to be
• 1:18:11
  an interesting Monday boys interrupted.
• 1:18:14
  What I thought, what CrossFit said,
• 1:18:17
  I bet Kale Lehman is pretty bummed.
• 1:18:20
  He can't avoid the programming anywhere.
• 1:18:27
  Poor Kale.
• 1:18:30
  When are the age group ones going live?
• 1:18:32
  So they're still not live.
• 1:18:34
  So let's dive into the
• 1:18:35
  workouts and how you guys
• 1:18:36
  looked at them this weekend.
• 1:18:39
  Um,
• 1:18:41
  let me see if I can pull that up really
• 1:18:42
  quick.
• 1:18:45
  What was,
• 1:18:46
  what was the first workout as I'm
• 1:18:47
  trying to pull it up now?
• 1:18:48
  Bar muscle up, the clean bar muscle up,
• 1:18:50
  ten minute AMRAP.
• 1:18:53
  How did that go for you two?
• 1:18:55
  Good.
• 1:18:56
  I think we both did well at it.
• 1:18:59
  Carolyn crossed it.
• 1:19:00
  Jamie and I communicated a
• 1:19:00
  little bit over the weekend,
• 1:19:02
  which is nice,
• 1:19:02
  because we're not in competing divisions.
• 1:19:06
  So we kind of shared scores
• 1:19:08
  or little tips on certain things.
• 1:19:14
  We both made it in the round of eleven.
• 1:19:16
  I thought the transitions was a factor.
• 1:19:21
  We've got the show now.
• 1:19:25
  I thought the transitions on that one,
• 1:19:27
  I could have maybe pushed more.
• 1:19:29
  didn't push the transitions
• 1:19:30
  enough especially in the
• 1:19:31
  later rounds um I wanted to
• 1:19:37
  like I I finished and I
• 1:19:38
  felt fine yeah like I
• 1:19:41
  didn't like it wasn't um
• 1:19:45
  wasn't as bad as I thought
• 1:19:46
  personally for that one
• 1:19:49
  yeah I think I mentally let
• 1:19:51
  off once I knew I was
• 1:19:53
  getting into the eleven and
• 1:19:55
  I just got soft
• 1:19:58
  think like the numbers go up
• 1:19:59
  and you start going up so
• 1:20:00
  fast you're like crap like
• 1:20:02
  what am I pacing for and
• 1:20:03
  you kind of just like slow
• 1:20:04
  down a little bit yeah like
• 1:20:05
  I think if I were to redo
• 1:20:07
  that one I could have like
• 1:20:10
  made a a bigger difference there yep
• 1:20:14
  It's a type of one that once
• 1:20:15
  you know what you're pacing
• 1:20:16
  for after doing it,
• 1:20:18
  you can kind of push it a little bit more,
• 1:20:21
  especially on the transitions.
• 1:20:22
  But it was a good workout.
• 1:20:24
  It was a good workout.
• 1:20:25
  I actually think it was a
• 1:20:26
  really great workout.
• 1:20:28
  But in the scheme of the whole programming,
• 1:20:32
  I personally feel like this
• 1:20:34
  should have been,
• 1:20:34
  not that I wanted it to be,
• 1:20:35
  but I feel like this should
• 1:20:36
  have been one squat clean,
• 1:20:39
  one ring muscle up.
• 1:20:42
  Oh, ring muscle up.
• 1:20:43
  Yeah,
• 1:20:44
  I think we should have tested ring
• 1:20:45
  muscle-ups.
• 1:20:45
  I think you should have made
• 1:20:47
  it be a squat clean.
• 1:20:48
  Squat clean or a heavy front squat.
• 1:20:50
  But then, yeah,
• 1:20:51
  squat clean probably better.
• 1:20:55
  Denise said,
• 1:20:55
  I didn't push the transition
• 1:20:57
  between my first bar
• 1:20:57
  muscle-up and my second one.
• 1:21:01
  Well, that's probably smart.
• 1:21:05
  The celebrations were important, yes.
• 1:21:14
  Prevo finished.
• 1:21:14
  Jamie got soft.
• 1:21:15
  Yeah, we both finished.
• 1:21:20
  That was a good workout though.
• 1:21:28
  I, yeah, I'm curious to see,
• 1:21:31
  we both broke the scorecard.
• 1:21:33
  Let's go.
• 1:21:33
  Let's go with that.
• 1:21:36
  That's always nice.
• 1:21:36
  Right.
• 1:21:37
  And, like,
• 1:21:38
  I said that to one of my judges before.
• 1:21:40
  I look at, like, the ten.
• 1:21:41
  I'm like,
• 1:21:41
  I'm going to break the scorecard.
• 1:21:42
  Yep.
• 1:21:43
  And then I get to the round
• 1:21:44
  of ten on the cleans.
• 1:21:47
  Like, I'm at the round of ten.
• 1:21:48
  And, like, I don't know.
• 1:21:48
  It's, like, seven and a half minutes.
• 1:21:49
  He's like, come on.
• 1:21:50
  Break the scorecard.
• 1:21:52
  Yeah.
• 1:21:52
  That's exactly what they
• 1:21:53
  were saying to me.
• 1:21:54
  I was like, I don't really care anymore.
• 1:22:06
  Number two, this one was so hard to judge.
• 1:22:09
  And this is the one that has
• 1:22:10
  me most nervous.
• 1:22:11
  I mean, I'm nervous for Isabel,
• 1:22:12
  but this one has me very
• 1:22:14
  nervous for the leaderboard.
• 1:22:18
  This is definitely like a
• 1:22:20
  big athlete can a big,
• 1:22:21
  strong athlete can do some
• 1:22:22
  damage on this one with like the.
• 1:22:25
  Row, power, and the shoulder to overhead.
• 1:22:30
  I tried to stay in the
• 1:22:32
  thousands for the cow row
• 1:22:34
  as much as possible.
• 1:22:36
  Sometimes you get tired after the barbell,
• 1:22:37
  though.
• 1:22:38
  Yeah.
• 1:22:40
  Yeah,
• 1:22:41
  I was basically around that for the
• 1:22:42
  rowing.
• 1:22:44
  I just couldn't hold on to
• 1:22:45
  the barbell at the end.
• 1:22:46
  I was so slow at that last barbell.
• 1:22:50
  Yeah, I was...
• 1:22:52
  I needed I once I got off the last rower,
• 1:22:55
  I hunched over for like a
• 1:22:56
  good ten to fifteen seconds
• 1:22:58
  before picking up the bar.
• 1:22:59
  And like,
• 1:23:00
  I don't think I would have
• 1:23:01
  changed anything on my pace on the row.
• 1:23:04
  It's like if I could have
• 1:23:05
  eliminated maybe five to
• 1:23:07
  ten seconds there.
• 1:23:12
  I'm not the strongest and
• 1:23:14
  like shoulder to overhead
• 1:23:15
  or like it's not my my forte.
• 1:23:19
  So I was OK with this one.
• 1:23:24
  It's just like, I don't know.
• 1:23:26
  It's like one that I almost
• 1:23:28
  wish I had time to redo and
• 1:23:29
  I could have maybe tried to row harder,
• 1:23:31
  I guess.
• 1:23:31
  I don't know.
• 1:23:33
  Like I was going to feel
• 1:23:34
  like shit on the last bar no matter what.
• 1:23:38
  But I don't know.
• 1:23:39
  So with all the complications and you,
• 1:23:44
  your gym not being an affiliate,
• 1:23:46
  you were put in a position
• 1:23:47
  where you had very small
• 1:23:49
  windows to do the workout.
• 1:23:51
  You actually also had a small error.
• 1:23:55
  Yeah.
• 1:23:58
  And so that like wasted one of your,
• 1:24:01
  your windows.
• 1:24:02
  Yeah.
• 1:24:05
  I don't think we talk about
• 1:24:06
  that enough either.
• 1:24:06
  Right.
• 1:24:07
  Not only is there this
• 1:24:08
  burden and you have to do all this stuff.
• 1:24:10
  If your video doesn't record,
• 1:24:12
  or if someone walks in
• 1:24:13
  front of your video,
• 1:24:14
  or if someone knocks over
• 1:24:17
  the tripod or any of those things,
• 1:24:20
  like that whole attempt is scrapped.
• 1:24:23
  Right.
• 1:24:25
  And there were floor layouts for this too,
• 1:24:27
  right?
• 1:24:27
  So your camera had to be in
• 1:24:28
  that spot doing all this stuff.
• 1:24:31
  So I think that is an additional burden.
• 1:24:37
  Like they took away the
• 1:24:39
  floor plans in previous years.
• 1:24:41
  They bring them back and
• 1:24:43
  they bring in all these extra things.
• 1:24:44
  Like they swung the pendulum way too far.
• 1:24:48
  Yeah.
• 1:24:48
  Way, way too far.
• 1:24:51
  I really didn't like that.
• 1:24:54
  So like I always use we time
• 1:24:56
  and I always connect to the
• 1:24:57
  rower and I personally
• 1:24:58
  think that that is the,
• 1:25:03
  that should be the gold standard.
• 1:25:05
  Like I would much rather see
• 1:25:08
  somebody's constant output and where the,
• 1:25:13
  and their calories rolling
• 1:25:14
  over on the screen and like
• 1:25:17
  leave the camera where it is,
• 1:25:18
  where everything's in frame.
• 1:25:19
  Um,
• 1:25:21
  like no plate,
• 1:25:21
  no plates are getting
• 1:25:23
  shuffled around over in the
• 1:25:24
  corner that we don't get to
• 1:25:25
  see while somebody brings, I mean,
• 1:25:27
  I don't think people are
• 1:25:27
  going to do that kind of stuff,
• 1:25:28
  but I just,
• 1:25:29
  I think the camera should have
• 1:25:31
  stayed back and you should
• 1:25:33
  be connected to your rower
• 1:25:34
  through that Bluetooth.
• 1:25:36
  And you see what's going on.
• 1:25:39
  We have a rower at the gym
• 1:25:41
  that like almost sort of like skips,
• 1:25:43
  like you could yank the
• 1:25:44
  chain and it would like
• 1:25:45
  somehow jump to like twenty six hundred.
• 1:25:48
  And if my camera if I wanted
• 1:25:49
  to use a rower like that,
• 1:25:51
  I feel like you would never
• 1:25:53
  know that unless I was connected to it.
• 1:25:56
  I would just, you know,
• 1:25:58
  would come in at the end
• 1:25:59
  and zoom in and show you
• 1:26:01
  the sixty calories are done.
• 1:26:02
  And you don't know that it
• 1:26:05
  wasn't like the cleanest row.
• 1:26:08
  If it's connected,
• 1:26:08
  you can see that stuff all the time.
• 1:26:12
  I don't know why.
• 1:26:13
  And people even asked, like,
• 1:26:15
  so if we connect to the to
• 1:26:16
  the Bluetooth through the rower,
• 1:26:18
  is that sufficient?
• 1:26:18
  And they said, no, that's crazy to me.
• 1:26:23
  And then like Carolyn had
• 1:26:24
  issues with her judge
• 1:26:25
  bringing the camera close.
• 1:26:26
  And then it's like,
• 1:26:27
  kind of gets the timer out
• 1:26:28
  of position just a hair.
• 1:26:30
  Like if we didn't mess with
• 1:26:32
  moving the camera and we
• 1:26:34
  were just connected.
• 1:26:38
  Anyone break ten minutes, you think?
• 1:26:40
  No way.
• 1:26:40
  No, that's not a ten minute.
• 1:26:41
  There's no way.
• 1:26:44
  I can't imagine.
• 1:26:45
  No.
• 1:26:46
  That's not ten minute workout.
• 1:26:48
  No.
• 1:26:48
  Denise says they are
• 1:26:49
  suggested floor plans.
• 1:26:50
  I think that is a mistake.
• 1:26:53
  either have a floor plan or
• 1:26:54
  don't have a floor plan.
• 1:26:56
  It's too hard though, with people's gyms,
• 1:26:58
  certain floor plans actually don't work.
• 1:27:01
  Right?
• 1:27:02
  Like with where they're like
• 1:27:04
  reggae is in comparison to their like,
• 1:27:07
  different things.
• 1:27:14
  I don't know.
• 1:27:14
  That was just a big high power output.
• 1:27:18
  Like you're,
• 1:27:18
  you're like your bigger
• 1:27:20
  athlete is going to
• 1:27:21
  obviously move the barbell water better.
• 1:27:22
  And they're obviously going to row better.
• 1:27:26
  So whatever.
• 1:27:28
  And then you have a shorter
• 1:27:29
  person workout here to even it up.
• 1:27:33
  Yeah.
• 1:27:35
  Three rounds for time,
• 1:27:36
  thirty foot handstand walk,
• 1:27:37
  thirty pull-ups,
• 1:27:38
  thirty lateral burpees over the dumbbell,
• 1:27:40
  thirty toes to bar.
• 1:27:43
  I think the one thing that I
• 1:27:44
  said to Corey this week is like,
• 1:27:45
  I don't get the dumbbell.
• 1:27:46
  Like it's not used for
• 1:27:48
  anything during this workout.
• 1:27:50
  Why pick something that was
• 1:27:52
  hard to judge in the open
• 1:27:54
  to jump over and now bring
• 1:27:56
  it forward to semifinals
• 1:27:58
  when you could pick any
• 1:27:59
  object because you're not
• 1:28:00
  using the dumbbell and
• 1:28:01
  anything else and put it on
• 1:28:03
  the floor to jump over.
• 1:28:04
  That's much easier to see.
• 1:28:05
  Should have just been line facing burpees.
• 1:28:07
  You got your line for your handstand walk.
• 1:28:09
  Just do it over that.
• 1:28:10
  But honestly,
• 1:28:11
  I think this one should have had,
• 1:28:12
  I think that should have
• 1:28:13
  been wall balls there.
• 1:28:15
  Personally.
• 1:28:17
  That would have been good.
• 1:28:20
  Yeah.
• 1:28:20
  Wall balls.
• 1:28:23
  Yes.
• 1:28:24
  Clearly, if you haven't heard me say,
• 1:28:25
  I think there should have
• 1:28:26
  been squat cleans and wall balls.
• 1:28:27
  No, we missed squatting.
• 1:28:31
  The burpee combo with the
• 1:28:32
  toaster bars definitely got your core.
• 1:28:35
  Yeah.
• 1:28:35
  Yeah.
• 1:28:37
  Cause you, like, as you do your burpee,
• 1:28:38
  like you,
• 1:28:39
  you kind of do a mini sit up as
• 1:28:41
  you like go over the
• 1:28:42
  dumbbell and then you go
• 1:28:43
  right into your toes to
• 1:28:45
  bars and you're just kind
• 1:28:46
  of feeling your core.
• 1:28:47
  Yep.
• 1:28:48
  Um,
• 1:28:49
  to me it was like the first two movements,
• 1:28:51
  the,
• 1:28:51
  the thirty foot handstand walk was
• 1:28:54
  irrelevant in the workout.
• 1:28:55
  It was more like for people
• 1:28:56
  that have the handstand walk anyways, um,
• 1:29:00
  You're just kind of recovering there,
• 1:29:02
  being smart on the pull-ups.
• 1:29:03
  And then the workout where
• 1:29:04
  you can lose or gain time
• 1:29:06
  on people is on the last two movements.
• 1:29:07
  Yep.
• 1:29:08
  A hundred percent.
• 1:29:14
  Cross fat says target
• 1:29:15
  burpees or dumbbell thrusters.
• 1:29:19
  No,
• 1:29:19
  I think the wall balls would have
• 1:29:20
  worked well there.
• 1:29:21
  Wall balls would have been perfect.
• 1:29:22
  Like you're, you're using the rig, right?
• 1:29:24
  Like, I mean, I,
• 1:29:25
  I guess it could have
• 1:29:26
  sucked for some gyms, but yeah,
• 1:29:29
  I think most gyms have their
• 1:29:31
  wall ball targets on their
• 1:29:32
  rig and you're using the rig.
• 1:29:34
  It would have been like, perfect.
• 1:29:39
  I wonder if that's why they
• 1:29:40
  haven't programmed as many wall balls.
• 1:29:41
  Cause when you have certain floor plans,
• 1:29:45
  like where you put your
• 1:29:46
  wall ball can have a factor
• 1:29:49
  in terms of having an even
• 1:29:57
  like floor plan.
• 1:29:58
  Yeah.
• 1:29:59
  And it's the same thing for
• 1:30:01
  like sometimes rings and ropes.
• 1:30:03
  Like a lot of times if you program those,
• 1:30:06
  I always feel like you
• 1:30:07
  should program it with
• 1:30:08
  something like an object
• 1:30:09
  that can be close to it.
• 1:30:10
  Like a dumbbell, like a barbell, uh,
• 1:30:14
  skipping rope,
• 1:30:15
  running something that
• 1:30:19
  you're not putting certain
• 1:30:21
  like gyms at a disadvantage.
• 1:30:22
  Right.
• 1:30:23
  I agree.
• 1:30:23
  You have to think about like
• 1:30:25
  that kind of stuff.
• 1:30:26
  Yep.
• 1:30:31
  This workout,
• 1:30:32
  I first did it and forgot to
• 1:30:33
  say fitness twenty five.
• 1:30:34
  So I had to do it.
• 1:30:35
  Oh, my gosh.
• 1:30:36
  Yeah.
• 1:30:38
  This is one Carol and I both had to do.
• 1:30:40
  We both had errors.
• 1:30:43
  I just was like on spin
• 1:30:44
  cycle on the box jump overs.
• 1:30:47
  I go the exact same way on and off.
• 1:30:49
  And I literally am spinning
• 1:30:51
  in a circle for fifty reps
• 1:30:52
  and I finish and I'm like.
• 1:30:59
  And then you had to do it again.
• 1:31:02
  Yeah.
• 1:31:02
  I did it again the following day.
• 1:31:04
  I mean, if you're going to redo a workout,
• 1:31:06
  this is, this is the one,
• 1:31:08
  because honestly I finished
• 1:31:10
  it and I was like, I mean,
• 1:31:12
  my legs were like tired
• 1:31:14
  from the box jump overs.
• 1:31:16
  Cause I do like land low and squat there,
• 1:31:19
  but it's not a difficult workout.
• 1:31:22
  If I'm being honest, it's like,
• 1:31:23
  it's an execution.
• 1:31:24
  It's a range of motion.
• 1:31:25
  It's a speed of the movements type thing.
• 1:31:28
  Like,
• 1:31:28
  it's like how fast do you want to
• 1:31:29
  push the pace of,
• 1:31:33
  moving I almost fell on the
• 1:31:35
  box on the first one like
• 1:31:36
  once you watch watch my
• 1:31:37
  video like I I do a box
• 1:31:39
  jump and I like trip over
• 1:31:41
  on the very first one yeah
• 1:31:43
  your legs were a little
• 1:31:45
  heavier than you well I
• 1:31:46
  than I expected going into
• 1:31:47
  that first box jump from
• 1:31:48
  those I guess from the
• 1:31:50
  lunges right into the
• 1:31:51
  snatch I don't know um my
• 1:31:53
  redo I was trying to move
• 1:31:54
  so fast that I threw the dumbbell
• 1:31:58
  like coming down just like
• 1:32:00
  three like three times in a
• 1:32:01
  row I could not get a hold
• 1:32:02
  of the dumbbell just
• 1:32:04
  dropped grabbed it went
• 1:32:05
  again dropped I'm like what
• 1:32:07
  is happening trying to move
• 1:32:09
  too fast but it was still a
• 1:32:11
  successful read it was
• 1:32:12
  faster it was a good little
• 1:32:16
  sprint I guess um it'll be
• 1:32:19
  interesting to see some of the um
• 1:32:26
  Range of motions, I guess,
• 1:32:28
  in this type of workout.
• 1:32:28
  Yeah.
• 1:32:31
  Lunges snatches,
• 1:32:34
  like the box jumps will be the box jumps.
• 1:32:36
  Like I think no one can kind
• 1:32:37
  of get away from you're
• 1:32:39
  just kind of box jump and step down,
• 1:32:41
  but last one.
• 1:32:47
  Boo.
• 1:32:53
  We know, we know that Jamie loves to lift.
• 1:32:59
  Here was your opportunity.
• 1:33:01
  I was like, it's a good workout.
• 1:33:02
  Yeah.
• 1:33:03
  I, you know, I don't hate barbell cycling.
• 1:33:05
  So I was, I mean, I think I did.
• 1:33:10
  Okay.
• 1:33:12
  I do think I could have
• 1:33:13
  probably done it faster.
• 1:33:15
  Um, but for me, I think it was a pretty,
• 1:33:19
  like pretty decent.
• 1:33:21
  I think I'm going to get
• 1:33:22
  killed in my age group,
• 1:33:24
  but I think I did.
• 1:33:27
  decent for myself.
• 1:33:31
  I mean, it's like,
• 1:33:32
  eighty-three percent of my one rep.
• 1:33:33
  Sorry.
• 1:33:36
  My computer's on ten minutes to die, so.
• 1:33:45
  Yeah, I mean, for me, Isabelle is okay.
• 1:33:52
  I'm not known for my snatching strength.
• 1:33:57
  oh you've got a good snatch
• 1:33:59
  but it's okay I'm better at
• 1:34:02
  like a a light barbell
• 1:34:03
  where I can just bend and
• 1:34:04
  snap uh did it have too
• 1:34:08
  much value at mayhem with
• 1:34:09
  only twenty athletes versus
• 1:34:10
  an in-law online event like this uh no
• 1:34:21
  actually feel like it's
• 1:34:22
  going to be worse here yeah
• 1:34:24
  it's worse online because
• 1:34:25
  you have like even more
• 1:34:26
  specialists a lot of times
• 1:34:28
  that like aren't really as
• 1:34:30
  relevant in other workouts
• 1:34:38
  jamie start laughing
• 1:34:39
  Well, I mean, some things.
• 1:34:44
  Thirty snatches gets to be kind of a lot.
• 1:34:48
  I got five thirty-six in this.
• 1:34:51
  I would have liked to be
• 1:34:52
  right at five minutes.
• 1:34:55
  That's not fast.
• 1:34:56
  I've heard like two thirty-five.
• 1:34:59
  So, I'm going to get demolished in this.
• 1:35:04
  It was like four fifty-four.
• 1:35:08
  Four.
• 1:35:10
  So I'm like just starting to
• 1:35:12
  work on my regular Isabel,
• 1:35:15
  like the one that I'm going
• 1:35:16
  to have to do like at NorCal.
• 1:35:18
  So I'm like one.
• 1:35:21
  Basically, once they released that,
• 1:35:22
  like I was like I was
• 1:35:23
  finishing the open and then
• 1:35:25
  I was taking like a week or
• 1:35:26
  two and then I was going to
• 1:35:28
  like start ramping up my
• 1:35:30
  Isabel and start to
• 1:35:31
  actually practice that like.
• 1:35:33
  one fifty five ish more
• 1:35:35
  often like in workouts and
• 1:35:36
  then actually do like a
• 1:35:36
  strength progression of it.
• 1:35:37
  And then this one came out and I was like,
• 1:35:40
  oh, OK,
• 1:35:40
  I guess this is a preparation for
• 1:35:42
  it because I've never I
• 1:35:43
  haven't done like a proper
• 1:35:44
  Isabel since like twenty
• 1:35:46
  sixteen was the last time I did Isabel.
• 1:35:49
  Like regular.
• 1:35:50
  So I've never done heavy.
• 1:35:51
  So this was a good
• 1:35:52
  opportunity to practice it
• 1:35:54
  for me this weekend and get an idea of.
• 1:35:58
  pacing because I didn't even
• 1:36:00
  know really how to pace
• 1:36:01
  this one um how to do my
• 1:36:05
  power snatches until when
• 1:36:07
  is I gonna power so yeah
• 1:36:12
  I'll have to I guess try
• 1:36:13
  the one fifty five soon um
• 1:36:16
  I'll be doing a lot more
• 1:36:17
  squatting in that one for sure
• 1:36:19
  Like I'm normally not really
• 1:36:21
  a good power athlete.
• 1:36:22
  Like I will squat clean everything.
• 1:36:24
  Like I will squat snatch
• 1:36:27
  everything if I need to.
• 1:36:28
  So I don't know how the one
• 1:36:31
  fifty five will feel.
• 1:36:38
  But yeah.
• 1:36:38
  Carolyn,
• 1:36:38
  some people are asking if they
• 1:36:39
  should stop scaling for the
• 1:36:41
  thirty five to thirty nine
• 1:36:42
  and start with the forty plus thoughts,
• 1:36:45
  because it means you'd have
• 1:36:46
  just done regular Isabel.
• 1:36:48
  Well,
• 1:36:48
  regular Isabel is ninety five pounds.
• 1:36:50
  Yeah.
• 1:36:52
  I mean, just regular heavy, heavy,
• 1:36:55
  like everything above
• 1:36:57
  ninety five is heavy, Isabel,
• 1:36:58
  technically.
• 1:36:58
  Right.
• 1:36:59
  Like this is just Rich's
• 1:37:01
  version of Isabel is the
• 1:37:04
  two twenty five one fifty
• 1:37:05
  five from like years ago.
• 1:37:07
  But I don't think it's like
• 1:37:08
  the known like it's
• 1:37:10
  necessarily the standard
• 1:37:11
  like you could do it a little bit more.
• 1:37:15
  I don't think they should have.
• 1:37:17
  I think this was the proper scaling.
• 1:37:20
  I think this is definitely heavy enough.
• 1:37:23
  Yeah.
• 1:37:24
  Like you didn't test any
• 1:37:25
  kind of heavy stuff like
• 1:37:26
  this in the open.
• 1:37:28
  And there's a lot of people
• 1:37:29
  moving forward that honestly,
• 1:37:32
  some of these weights were
• 1:37:33
  too much for some of the
• 1:37:34
  athletes that like we're in
• 1:37:35
  that two percent moving forward.
• 1:37:38
  Like even the sixteen,
• 1:37:39
  seventeen year olds like needing to
• 1:37:44
  let's say short over two twenty five.
• 1:37:45
  Like there's just such a
• 1:37:46
  different development in
• 1:37:47
  some of the like athletes at that age,
• 1:37:49
  too,
• 1:37:50
  that some of the weights is as
• 1:37:52
  difficult sometimes.
• 1:37:55
  To predict for certain age groups,
• 1:37:57
  thirty five to thirty nine.
• 1:37:58
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:38:01
  I thought that was good.
• 1:38:01
  I thought it was appropriate.
• 1:38:02
  I don't think it needed to
• 1:38:03
  be one fifty five.
• 1:38:05
  You guys had one fifty five
• 1:38:06
  for how many reps last year?
• 1:38:08
  Like three.
• 1:38:12
  yes for three you're not
• 1:38:14
  going to go from three to
• 1:38:15
  thirty in a year right like
• 1:38:17
  that would be stupid like
• 1:38:19
  that is you can't go you
• 1:38:21
  can't do a workout last
• 1:38:22
  year that has I think what
• 1:38:23
  was it like some shuttles
• 1:38:25
  or with the it was rowing
• 1:38:28
  it was rowing and snatching
• 1:38:29
  yeah yeah so this year is
• 1:38:31
  rowing and shoulders over
• 1:38:33
  yes but I don't think you
• 1:38:36
  program one fifty five for
• 1:38:38
  three reps one year and
• 1:38:39
  then go to thirty right
• 1:38:43
  I mean, I feel like what Lynn is saying is,
• 1:38:45
  so like this is like last
• 1:38:50
  year they did the same programming,
• 1:38:53
  right?
• 1:38:53
  When we had semis, it was,
• 1:38:55
  you just could pay for both
• 1:38:57
  and you got to do, like,
• 1:38:58
  I got to do both.
• 1:39:01
  And that, in that essence, sure,
• 1:39:03
  it makes sense.
• 1:39:04
  But if,
• 1:39:05
  if you are actually separating and
• 1:39:08
  doing just age group semifinals and
• 1:39:12
  Thirty five should have its
• 1:39:13
  own workout and forty
• 1:39:15
  should have its own workout.
• 1:39:16
  Like,
• 1:39:16
  that's how it is at these events when
• 1:39:18
  you go to the games there.
• 1:39:20
  I mean, sure,
• 1:39:20
  sometimes thirty five to
• 1:39:21
  forty nine are the same, but.
• 1:39:25
  It's not like the open,
• 1:39:26
  it's not it's not eighteen
• 1:39:29
  to fifty four does the same
• 1:39:32
  stuff we've we've broken off,
• 1:39:35
  we're going to get our own programing.
• 1:39:37
  Well, and last year when you could do both,
• 1:39:38
  that was quarterfinals, not semifinals.
• 1:39:41
  It was a stage earlier.
• 1:39:42
  I did like that they had
• 1:39:44
  different versions for like
• 1:39:45
  ten-year groups here this
• 1:39:47
  time around versus normally.
• 1:39:50
  I thought that was a good thing.
• 1:39:51
  It makes me think about what
• 1:39:53
  the community cup will be,
• 1:39:54
  like how they're going to
• 1:39:55
  program different styles of
• 1:39:57
  workout for the different levels as well.
• 1:40:02
  But yeah, I think the...
• 1:40:05
  I think the weights were fine.
• 1:40:08
  Like, like you said,
• 1:40:09
  you could separate it in every age group.
• 1:40:11
  Like the two fifteen is to
• 1:40:15
  me is heavier on the guys
• 1:40:16
  than it is for the females,
• 1:40:18
  because normally two or
• 1:40:18
  five goes with one forty five.
• 1:40:21
  Yeah.
• 1:40:22
  And then like one eighty five,
• 1:40:23
  one twenty five,
• 1:40:24
  then maybe like a one sixty five,
• 1:40:25
  one fifteen, one fifty five, one oh five,
• 1:40:28
  one thirty five, ninety five.
• 1:40:30
  Yep.
• 1:40:33
  So.
• 1:40:35
  CrossFit says,
• 1:40:36
  I think we are still scaling
• 1:40:37
  thirty-five to thirty-nine
• 1:40:38
  the same way we scaled it
• 1:40:39
  eight years ago.
• 1:40:40
  The bar is higher now.
• 1:40:41
  I completely disagree.
• 1:40:43
  I think they've upped it.
• 1:40:45
  I mean, Carolyn just told you,
• 1:40:46
  we went from three snatches
• 1:40:48
  last year to thirty this year.
• 1:40:52
  Like... Well, and you have to remember,
• 1:40:54
  they keep moving the bar up
• 1:40:57
  for elite athletes more and more, too.
• 1:41:00
  Right?
• 1:41:01
  It's not the same...
• 1:41:03
  It's just different because
• 1:41:04
  like masters are so unique
• 1:41:05
  in the sense that like me
• 1:41:07
  aging from the elite to a masters,
• 1:41:09
  I'm a different master than
• 1:41:11
  someone who started like, or like,
• 1:41:15
  let's say are in those age
• 1:41:16
  groups and don't have all
• 1:41:17
  of those years of CrossFit
• 1:41:21
  or training age under them.
• 1:41:22
  Like,
• 1:41:23
  let's say like an athlete that's
• 1:41:25
  competed in,
• 1:41:27
  before like in the elite division,
• 1:41:30
  like there's just such a
• 1:41:31
  different range of, um,
• 1:41:35
  athletes that you can get
• 1:41:36
  in each division of the masters.
• 1:41:38
  I think it's tough to get it right.
• 1:41:42
  Sometimes on some of the scaling,
• 1:41:44
  because sometimes it's like
• 1:41:46
  too much water down.
• 1:41:47
  And then sometimes it's like,
• 1:41:49
  this is like
• 1:41:50
  over-programmed for that division.
• 1:41:52
  Um,
• 1:41:57
  Well,
• 1:41:58
  I don't know if we're going to get a
• 1:41:59
  leaderboard.
• 1:41:59
  Okay.
• 1:42:02
  I think last year they had
• 1:42:03
  trouble with their leaderboards too,
• 1:42:05
  right?
• 1:42:06
  Yeah,
• 1:42:07
  last year the semifinals for age
• 1:42:10
  groups took days to come up.
• 1:42:14
  Remember,
• 1:42:15
  they had like an error in the background.
• 1:42:17
  Maybe everyone's videos is clogging.
• 1:42:21
  They weren't expecting all
• 1:42:22
  these video submissions.
• 1:42:27
  But, like,
• 1:42:28
  normally people don't have to
• 1:42:29
  post all of their videos, right?
• 1:42:31
  Yeah.
• 1:42:31
  I wonder if that's affecting
• 1:42:33
  the platform that they're using.
• 1:42:37
  I don't know.
• 1:42:37
  Yeah.
• 1:42:39
  I'm not the best with technology,
• 1:42:40
  but just to... I mean,
• 1:42:44
  it should have been... I
• 1:42:45
  would think most people
• 1:42:46
  would have been putting those in each day,
• 1:42:49
  and it shouldn't have been this mass,
• 1:42:51
  like, submission at eight p.m.
• 1:42:53
  tonight.
• 1:42:54
  Like,
• 1:42:56
  You're crazy if you're
• 1:42:57
  trying to upload all five videos.
• 1:42:58
  You're not really uploading
• 1:42:59
  the video to the site.
• 1:43:00
  You're uploading a link.
• 1:43:02
  Right.
• 1:43:02
  Because the video's on YouTube.
• 1:43:03
  Right.
• 1:43:06
  And it's not an official leaderboard yet,
• 1:43:08
  so they shouldn't really care.
• 1:43:09
  Exactly.
• 1:43:11
  They're going to make
• 1:43:12
  corrections to it over the
• 1:43:13
  next week anyway.
• 1:43:14
  Yeah.
• 1:43:18
  They sent emails to, like,
• 1:43:19
  get ready to judge the videos.
• 1:43:20
  Yeah.
• 1:43:21
  It's good.
• 1:43:21
  Yeah.
• 1:43:26
  There have been some like
• 1:43:28
  good adjustments in terms
• 1:43:29
  of some of the things that
• 1:43:30
  they've implemented this year.
• 1:43:34
  I agree.
• 1:43:36
  I think that, but if you add the,
• 1:43:38
  the public viewing videos
• 1:43:40
  for everybody to judge and
• 1:43:42
  you add a floor plan,
• 1:43:45
  a suggested floor plan with camera stuff,
• 1:43:48
  I think that's enough.
• 1:43:50
  I don't, the,
• 1:43:51
  the extra judge doesn't need to,
• 1:43:53
  to be there.
• 1:43:55
  Well, my question is like,
• 1:43:56
  what are we going to resort to?
• 1:44:00
  Like you have two floor
• 1:44:01
  judges there with their
• 1:44:02
  level ones in two courses.
• 1:44:04
  We're going to have the
• 1:44:04
  community online voting that has,
• 1:44:07
  you know,
• 1:44:08
  other angles and can slow things
• 1:44:09
  down and all of that stuff.
• 1:44:12
  It says not to do that.
• 1:44:13
  It says not to do that, but you know,
• 1:44:15
  people will, and you know, people do.
• 1:44:22
  Like at a certain point,
• 1:44:23
  you have to also like,
• 1:44:26
  I guess go sometimes with
• 1:44:27
  like what was on the floor.
• 1:44:33
  And it's not always going to
• 1:44:34
  be perfect too.
• 1:44:39
  Yeah.
• 1:44:39
  Yeah.
• 1:44:39
  Call and feel stands.
• 1:44:40
  Yeah.
• 1:44:40
  That's what,
• 1:44:40
  that's what I was going to like.
• 1:44:42
  I do think that's what
• 1:44:43
  they're going to end up defaulting to.
• 1:44:45
  What would be cool is,
• 1:44:46
  is if you could have you to
• 1:44:49
  work with YouTube to disable the,
• 1:44:53
  the buttons.
• 1:44:54
  Yeah.
• 1:44:55
  You hit play and it plays through.
• 1:44:59
  And that's all you can do.
• 1:45:03
  Then people just screen
• 1:45:04
  record and then slow down.
• 1:45:06
  Won't do anything.
• 1:45:08
  There's ways.
• 1:45:17
  Clint, he says,
• 1:45:18
  CrossFit is just shifting
• 1:45:19
  the responsibility from
• 1:45:19
  themselves to the community.
• 1:45:20
  A hundred percent.
• 1:45:21
  Yep.
• 1:45:27
  um okay well since we don't
• 1:45:31
  have a leaderboard boo I
• 1:45:38
  think we'll call it for the
• 1:45:39
  night we're we're already
• 1:45:40
  long um so I don't want to
• 1:45:46
  keep everybody up it's been
• 1:45:47
  a long weekend for me too
• 1:45:48

• 1:45:52
