- 1:01Welcome to Sunday, Sunday,
- 1:04Sunday Night CrossFit Talk on a Tuesday.
- 1:09Damn, we're all jacked up.
- 1:14It's been a wild weekend.
- 1:17Like, the competition,
- 1:19I'm not even an athlete.
- 1:20I'm just there watching, observing,
- 1:22talking, doing all the stuff.
- 1:24It wore me out.
- 1:26I cannot even imagine being Carolyn
- 1:28Prevost
- 1:29doing all the stuff she did,
- 1:31flying to Canada, another country,
- 1:34and living.
- 1:38It's not that bad.
- 1:40To be fair,
- 1:41the spectating I think is harder.
- 1:48Really?
- 1:49Oh, yeah.
- 1:51I always feel worse after these media or
- 1:54just spectating.
- 1:55If I go to MFC and watch...
- 1:57Is it your sleep that's off?
- 1:58No.
- 2:00I think it's standing like on the
- 2:03concrete.
- 2:05I, I, I like,
- 2:05I need to move through.
- 2:08I mean, I got to like work out,
- 2:10so it wasn't the worst,
- 2:11but I always feel worse after spectating.
- 2:17I have to pull this up.
- 2:18My wife from the table.
- 2:19What kind of hip hop are you listening
- 2:22to?
- 2:24The best kind.
- 2:25Yeah.
- 2:26That's what you tell her.
- 2:27KDL.
- 2:29She was jamming.
- 2:30You know it.
- 2:32Aren't we all?
- 2:34Yes.
- 2:36The one thing I will say for WFP,
- 2:38the nicest part of the weekend is all
- 2:41the turf.
- 2:43When you're standing on the turf,
- 2:45it is like pure relief on your body.
- 2:48That concrete is brutal.
- 2:51It was a nice facility this weekend.
- 2:55nice facility very big lots of things in
- 2:58like the middle area for like the fans
- 3:01or where like the vendor village was yeah
- 3:05yes yeah is that where they did like
- 3:08workouts too for people some of the
- 3:11workouts were on that um heart of america
- 3:15stage up there and then some we did
- 3:18two on the europe the pro floor
- 3:25Fergie, question of the week for Jamie.
- 3:27Does Scott wear Chicago Bear jammies?
- 3:30I don't know the answer to that,
- 3:31but I never saw him in Chicago Bears
- 3:35stuff before bedtime.
- 3:38I don't think I wore anything Chicago
- 3:39Bears all weekend.
- 3:40Yeah, I don't think you did either.
- 3:43I was in the Clydesdale Media uniform.
- 3:49I said I should have put on Tyson's
- 3:50jersey.
- 3:52You should have.
- 3:58I did because I didn't know he was
- 4:00going to throw a ninety seven yard
- 4:02touchdown on the first play of the game.
- 4:04Exactly.
- 4:07Hip hop with the Clydesdale.
- 4:11So for people don't know,
- 4:12before we get into Carolyn and her
- 4:13experience,
- 4:14the venue was set up in like three
- 4:16squares.
- 4:18Yeah.
- 4:20So the way you came in to the
- 4:21front door was.
- 4:23you had to do like a little loop
- 4:24around a wall.
- 4:26And then when you made that loop around
- 4:28the wall,
- 4:29athletes went right into their square for
- 4:34like an athlete lounge and an athlete
- 4:36warm-up area.
- 4:38And it is massive.
- 4:40Like it is the size of a football
- 4:41field.
- 4:43Yeah,
- 4:43it's the biggest warm-up area that we'll
- 4:44have probably.
- 4:47And then in the center square,
- 4:50right where you come in was Vendor
- 4:52Village.
- 4:54And just in front of that was all
- 4:56the stuff Jamie and I talked about with
- 4:59the lawn pong, the corn hole,
- 5:02the football throws with the nets,
- 5:04and beanbag chairs to just pop a squat,
- 5:11hang out, do all that stuff.
- 5:13Right in front of that was the stage
- 5:16for the desk show.
- 5:17Right.
- 5:18And they would go live during the weekend
- 5:21between every event.
- 5:23So if you wanted to see the desk
- 5:24show live, speaking of which,
- 5:27Seth Joseph's in the house,
- 5:30star of the desk show.
- 5:32And then behind that was where they held
- 5:34the combine on day one, event one.
- 5:39Then if you walked further to the right,
- 5:42like you had to go up midway in
- 5:44that middle square,
- 5:46walk through a Red Bull arch,
- 5:51and it took you into the pro floor.
- 5:54And right in front of you were the
- 5:56big stands,
- 5:57and you had staircases up the back to
- 5:59get into.
- 6:01And then you could go around a curtain
- 6:05that covered the back of the rig and
- 6:07go behind that and then come out on
- 6:09the other side of the floor where there
- 6:11were other stands.
- 6:12And every square,
- 6:14and it wasn't a perfect square.
- 6:17It was more of a rectangle,
- 6:18three rectangles.
- 6:19But every one was the size of a
- 6:21football field.
- 6:25All three.
- 6:25It was very, very impressive.
- 6:33How is it possible I never ran into
- 6:34you guys once?
- 6:36I was hiding.
- 6:38I actually wanted to say hi to Seth.
- 6:42And I saw him.
- 6:43I mean, clearly you're super busy, Seth.
- 6:45I saw you twice.
- 6:47Not up on stage,
- 6:48but you seemed to be going somewhere.
- 6:51So I didn't want to stop you.
- 6:52Yeah.
- 6:53I actually,
- 6:54I actually told Jamie on the way in
- 6:56that you were one of the people I
- 6:58wanted to meet because I've seen you on
- 7:01all these shows.
- 7:02You've been in the chat occasionally.
- 7:04I wanted to say hi and meet you.
- 7:06And I don't know how it,
- 7:08every time I was in that area,
- 7:11Seth was on the air.
- 7:12Right.
- 7:15So.
- 7:18So that I just wanted to give people
- 7:20a picture of what it was like in
- 7:22there.
- 7:23The sports complex was massive outside of
- 7:28the arena.
- 7:28Like there were a hundred softball fields
- 7:31and soccer fields and the Indiana Pacers
- 7:34facility and the Colts facility.
- 7:36And like everything sports in Indianapolis
- 7:39was happening on these grounds.
- 7:41It seemed like.
- 7:43And apparently home of live golf.
- 7:44What did you say?
- 7:44Home of what?
- 7:47live golf.
- 7:48If it, if it has a home anymore,
- 7:51but there's a sign when you come into
- 7:53Westfield that says,
- 7:55welcome to Westfield home of live golf.
- 7:59Is that why Travis and Bailey played golf
- 8:01there?
- 8:03So I heard Jay.
- 8:04I don't know why they did.
- 8:06I did hear James say he played the
- 8:08Indianapolis five hundred course and four
- 8:12of the holes are inside the track.
- 8:16So I think he said like seven, eight,
- 8:18nine, and ten,
- 8:19you have to go under a tunnel.
- 8:21You pop up on the inside of the
- 8:23track,
- 8:24and there was a race going on while
- 8:26they were golfing.
- 8:30Oh, I would have hit a car.
- 8:33That's scary.
- 8:33Someone asked James that on Boys
- 8:35Interrupted, and he said,
- 8:37there's one hole you could hit a car,
- 8:39but you would have to be like,
- 8:41that is your objective because you'd have
- 8:43to turn around and hit it backwards to
- 8:46get it out there.
- 8:50I thought Jamie said homeless golf.
- 8:54If the stuff that's happening at Live
- 8:56keeps going,
- 8:56it's going to be homeless golf.
- 9:00uh seth is great on the death show
- 9:02he is he just has been around so
- 9:04long and has so much depth of knowledge
- 9:08um that he's perfect for that role he
- 9:14really is just like i would say pat
- 9:17velner is perfect to be a color analyst
- 9:22you got to listen to him i i
- 9:23still at the venue
- 9:26The amazing thing about Pat was he had
- 9:29a story for every person that came up
- 9:31in the chat.
- 9:31Oh, that's awesome.
- 9:33Every single one,
- 9:34whether it was someone that I like,
- 9:37let's be honest, fifty athletes.
- 9:39I knew a lot of them.
- 9:40There were a couple that I and he
- 9:42seemed to know every single one of them.
- 9:46Lex texted me at one point.
- 9:48She's like Pat on the commentary is so
- 9:50good.
- 9:51So I haven't gone back to listen to
- 9:53it,
- 9:53but she also said the same thing that
- 9:55he was really good with it.
- 9:59When I want, when,
- 10:00when I'm listening to a color guy in
- 10:01any sport, I want story time.
- 10:03Yeah.
- 10:05Like you are there to,
- 10:07to fill the gaps with things that are
- 10:10interesting and it doesn't necessarily
- 10:12have to be,
- 10:13this is how I would lift this or
- 10:15blah, blah.
- 10:17And he filled it with,
- 10:19he made a comment about how people who
- 10:22had a bad start to the weekend were
- 10:23coming up to him and asking for advice,
- 10:25and he didn't know why.
- 10:27Because he has a bad start at every
- 10:29competition.
- 10:35It was so relatable.
- 10:37And to go through what he did this
- 10:41weekend and then to pop into the booth
- 10:43and be that charming and that energetic,
- 10:47and seemed like joyful about what he was
- 10:49doing was awesome.
- 10:55Maybe he'll come around and do some more
- 10:56of it.
- 10:58So Jeremy Austin said, hey,
- 10:59we'd love to have you in Copenhagen.
- 11:02And he said, I'd love to be there.
- 11:05That's awesome.
- 11:07Now,
- 11:08I don't know if Jeremy Austin has the
- 11:10ability to hire Pat to do that role
- 11:13or not.
- 11:14I'm sure other people might have to get
- 11:16involved to make sure that happens,
- 11:19but I'm hopeful.
- 11:23I mean, technically he's, well,
- 11:26did he finish in top thirty?
- 11:27He did not.
- 11:33I'm sure some sponsors and stuff could
- 11:34find ways to maybe get him there and
- 11:38get them to at least get on the
- 11:40desk maybe a few times.
- 11:42They probably had them budgeted for travel
- 11:46arrangements there, right?
- 11:47So at least get them there still.
- 11:56I'd lost my whole train of thought.
- 11:59Oh,
- 11:59I thought it was a great ending for
- 12:01Pat.
- 12:02If this is the last time we see
- 12:04him on a floor,
- 12:05last time we see him in a booth,
- 12:07even if that doesn't come to fruition,
- 12:11it was cool to see the reception he
- 12:12got and the feedback that he's getting in
- 12:14the booth.
- 12:16He hasn't had the best the last three
- 12:18years.
- 12:20And the fact that he was embraced again
- 12:24at the end...
- 12:26It felt good to me,
- 12:28and I hope it felt good to him
- 12:31because he's done a lot for the sport
- 12:32over his time.
- 12:40Seth says,
- 12:41I have a strong feeling he's got an
- 12:43invite to join media at the finals.
- 12:44Good to hear.
- 12:57um so that's that's that um i wanted
- 13:01to do this show tonight we did a
- 13:03wrap up show for night one wrap up
- 13:06show for night two and then we were
- 13:08all on the road for night three um
- 13:10so that's why we decided to jump on
- 13:12tonight and finish up uh the wfp
- 13:15experience with day three
- 13:18And so I first,
- 13:19before we get to day three,
- 13:21which Jamie and I haven't even talked
- 13:22about,
- 13:23I want to give Carolyn the opportunity to
- 13:24talk about day one and two and her
- 13:26experience at the WFP.
- 13:28Yeah.
- 13:32Great experience.
- 13:32Just, just like I had in London,
- 13:36we had seven very different tests.
- 13:40Four of them,
- 13:40I would kind of say like our
- 13:43single modality, even though they're like,
- 13:44they weren't all single modality.
- 13:45Like they felt like a specialist type
- 13:48workout and then three more traditional
- 13:51crossfit workouts.
- 13:52Uh, going into the weekend,
- 13:53I had circled three that I would do
- 13:57okay on or well on.
- 13:59And then four that were going to be
- 14:01a little bit more damage control.
- 14:04Um,
- 14:05so honestly the weekend went about as I
- 14:08planned,
- 14:09maybe the last workout I was hoping to
- 14:11get a few more snatches.
- 14:12there but other than that it was as
- 14:16expected um i love the combine if i
- 14:20like the combine the ten k is a
- 14:22little bit harder uh my bench press is
- 14:25probably my worst lift um so that got
- 14:27exposed there swimming and echo bike like
- 14:31in that workout is that day three so
- 14:34i guess we'll all wait for that one
- 14:35um yes that one wasn't great but yeah
- 14:40i like the combine so
- 14:44let's talk about the combine.
- 14:45First of all,
- 14:46it was amazing watching you out there.
- 14:50Um, we were,
- 14:51we were up high watching from above.
- 14:55Um,
- 14:56cause that was the best place to see
- 14:58all three of the,
- 14:59of the events and the, the, the, the,
- 15:02the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
- 15:03watching how fast some of you ran was,
- 15:07was unreal.
- 15:09Cause you don't get to see that all
- 15:10out sprint very often.
- 15:13in a CrossFit competition.
- 15:15So what was your experience like on the
- 15:17floor with that?
- 15:19Tell us like how the format went.
- 15:22It seemed like you could go whenever you
- 15:23wanted within the twenty minute window.
- 15:26How many attempts did you have?
- 15:28So we had two attempts in each twenty
- 15:30minute window for each of the three tests.
- 15:32I certainly didn't want to be the first
- 15:34one of any of them.
- 15:35I just wanted
- 15:37kind of see people move a little bit
- 15:40even though like it's very personal test
- 15:43it still kind of helps to see people
- 15:46see a couple numbers and then go get
- 15:49your number and be like okay this is
- 15:50where i am i have to do a
- 15:52little bit better here um so it started
- 15:55with the four yard dash we had done
- 15:57a warm-up that one was the one i
- 15:59was the most scared of of the three
- 16:02on paper i thought it was going to
- 16:04be
- 16:05my second best after the five, ten.
- 16:08But I just haven't sprinted because I got
- 16:10injured about a month ago.
- 16:11And I just,
- 16:12my three-point stance is not something
- 16:14that I've worked on really growing up.
- 16:17So both of my attempts,
- 16:19I popped up way too fast and lost
- 16:24a good amount of time there.
- 16:25I felt like once I was out of
- 16:26my stance and more in my straightaway,
- 16:30I felt like I felt fast,
- 16:32not as fast as I used to be,
- 16:33but like
- 16:34felt like myself with no restriction on my
- 16:36hamstring.
- 16:36But I was scared because that was the
- 16:38first day I was going to actually run
- 16:41full because exactly one month before then
- 16:45I heard it on a forty on my
- 16:48very last rep.
- 16:49And it's always a very last rep of
- 16:50the training.
- 16:52So then, yes,
- 16:54I was nervous going into that one,
- 16:55just kind of seeing where it was going
- 16:58to be, if it was going to go.
- 17:01It didn't, thankfully.
- 17:03So the first attempt felt a little bit
- 17:06slow out of the gates.
- 17:08And then once I got my score,
- 17:10it was like, I don't know, maybe top.
- 17:13But like, for me, I was pissed.
- 17:15I looked at that score and I honestly
- 17:17felt defeated.
- 17:17I was like, man, I've gotten slow.
- 17:19Like just to see the number.
- 17:21And I was like,
- 17:22this is not what I used to run.
- 17:24Um,
- 17:24took off my shirt for like the first
- 17:27time in a comp thought, okay,
- 17:29I'm either slow and older.
- 17:32or this shirt's weighing me down and just
- 17:34getting some right.
- 17:35So I took off my shirt,
- 17:36felt very uncomfortable out there.
- 17:39Got a little bit faster on the second
- 17:41attempt, but still that test,
- 17:45I was disappointed in my time.
- 17:47I wanted to go sub five.
- 17:49I used to go sub five.
- 17:50So that was disappointing,
- 17:52but it just is what it is.
- 17:55The agility test after that,
- 17:57I felt on paper that would be my
- 17:59best test just from the amount of
- 18:01crossovers I do in training.
- 18:03Before you jump into that,
- 18:05I do want to make two comments about
- 18:06your Forty.
- 18:07And one is,
- 18:09Jamie and I were both shocked when you
- 18:10took the shirt off in the Forty.
- 18:12We could not believe.
- 18:13I could not believe it.
- 18:13In fact,
- 18:15I had pictures of it and I sent
- 18:17you to them.
- 18:18I did not post that.
- 18:20I know.
- 18:21And I was not going to post them
- 18:22either.
- 18:23I was letting you have full control over
- 18:25those.
- 18:26Actually,
- 18:27me and Lydia looked at each other because
- 18:29we're both t-shirt girls, right?
- 18:30Yeah.
- 18:31And she's like,
- 18:32are you going to take your shirt off?
- 18:33And I was like, am I?
- 18:34Are you going to do it?
- 18:35And she's like,
- 18:35I'll do it if you do it.
- 18:37So then we both did it for our
- 18:38second attempt.
- 18:39So that was funny.
- 18:42And the second comment I want to make
- 18:43is one thing I observed and you just
- 18:47said that you haven't done a three point
- 18:48stance very much.
- 18:50You seem to be in it for a
- 18:52long time.
- 18:55And as a former offensive lineman who used
- 18:57to get in them a lot,
- 18:59it just felt like a really long time
- 19:01to me.
- 19:02Well,
- 19:02it wasn't like in the top position as
- 19:05long,
- 19:05but I was trying to dig in my
- 19:07feet and like kind of create blocks from
- 19:10that.
- 19:11Like I didn't grow up doing like,
- 19:14I ran track like at school,
- 19:16but honestly school sports here aren't
- 19:18very big.
- 19:19Like, like I just,
- 19:20I ran the a hundred and like the
- 19:22four by one and stuff like that.
- 19:23But,
- 19:24I never really used blocks, um,
- 19:26like in middle school and high school.
- 19:28So I didn't use them.
- 19:29I just was always fast.
- 19:31So that, that position was just, wasn't,
- 19:33wasn't that good for me.
- 19:34So, um, definitely shave off,
- 19:37definitely could shave off time there,
- 19:39but a lot of people could just, yeah.
- 19:41A lot of people stood right up.
- 19:43Yeah.
- 19:44If you look at geeky,
- 19:44just stood right up right away.
- 19:46Um,
- 19:47so it's a very technical thing and I
- 19:50wish I got a little bit more reps
- 19:52or just some coaching on that position.
- 19:54general like i tried watching a lot of
- 19:55youtube video but even in youtube like
- 19:58there were videos i liked i didn't like
- 20:00that wasn't working for my body type um
- 20:05just like my levers and stuff like that
- 20:07so yeah so yeah i the only the
- 20:13only people i saw come out of the
- 20:15the stance low were quinn and chandler
- 20:19and then Chandler pulled his hamstring on
- 20:21that first attempt,
- 20:21and we didn't really get to see.
- 20:23I think Chandler would have podiumed this
- 20:25weekend if he was healthy.
- 20:29Before the pool, his .
- 20:31Forty was flying.
- 20:34Well,
- 20:34his whole combine would have been great.
- 20:36His .
- 20:36TenK would have been one of the best
- 20:38ones there.
- 20:41Even some of the other ones that he
- 20:42has held back.
- 20:42Yeah,
- 20:43I think he would have done really well
- 20:44this weekend.
- 20:45These are great events for him.
- 20:47So then we moved to the five, ten,
- 20:48five agility test.
- 20:51Yeah, that one,
- 20:51my first attempt was better than my
- 20:53second.
- 20:53So every time I practiced,
- 20:55I had this bad tendency to hit on
- 21:00the one side.
- 21:01I would hit the line with my right
- 21:03hand,
- 21:04but my left hand always wanted to touch
- 21:06the ground at the same time as I
- 21:08was leaning.
- 21:08So if you think about skaters a lot
- 21:10of times,
- 21:11like that one hand sometimes hits the ice.
- 21:14And it was like almost like a natural
- 21:15position for me to hit.
- 21:16that left hand at the same time.
- 21:17So I, the first attempt that I did,
- 21:21I went a little bit slower and I
- 21:23wanted a clean run to not put my
- 21:28hand on the ground.
- 21:28Cause I didn't want to get no rep.
- 21:31That one ended up being my faster,
- 21:34my fastest of the two.
- 21:36But I, yeah,
- 21:38I just went a little bit slower,
- 21:39took my time.
- 21:40And then my second attempt,
- 21:41I kind of got my,
- 21:44I just stuck a little bit.
- 21:46So my turns weren't as efficient there.
- 21:50So both of my attempts,
- 21:51I wasn't as happy with.
- 21:56And just so people know,
- 21:57Carolyn took third in the forty.
- 21:59Tied for fourth.
- 22:00I believe.
- 22:04Yes.
- 22:05It had you as third.
- 22:06I think it was tied for fourth and
- 22:09then second on the agility test.
- 22:21But yeah, so that, so the five, ten,
- 22:23five, that's the, that,
- 22:25like I knew it was going to be
- 22:26slower on the forty than I used to
- 22:27be.
- 22:27So I'm like, okay.
- 22:30But the five, ten, five, I'm like, man,
- 22:32I should have gotten that one.
- 22:34That one should have been a win.
- 22:35Like that, that was like no excuse.
- 22:37Should have.
- 22:38What does it matter?
- 22:39You still.
- 22:39No, no, no.
- 22:40I know.
- 22:40But in my mind,
- 22:41I wanted to win on three.
- 22:42Yeah.
- 22:43Like that's just.
- 22:45If only those points would have.
- 22:47Sure.
- 22:48But the five, ten, five.
- 22:49frustrated me to just kind of stick a
- 22:51little bit and had to be cautious with
- 22:54my bad tendency of my one arm.
- 22:57The broad jump I thought was going to
- 22:59be the worst of my three because while
- 23:01I'm a good jumper, I'm not tall.
- 23:05So if you're tall and explosive,
- 23:09you should jump longer.
- 23:12Like by the nine foot, I think,
- 23:14I thought.
- 23:14And like in a field of fifty,
- 23:15I'm like, someone's going to out jump me.
- 23:17I'm going to finish like fifteenth or
- 23:18tenth.
- 23:19there and then i was shocked when i
- 23:23started seeing all the broad jumps that
- 23:25not that many even were above the eight
- 23:28foot like i thought for sure there would
- 23:30be someone around the nine so that that
- 23:35one that one surprised me i did not
- 23:37expect to win that one yeah i thought
- 23:41it was gonna i thought my best was
- 23:42gonna be the five pen then the run
- 23:45and then the broad jump and
- 23:47That just wasn't fun.
- 23:48You beat a lot of men.
- 23:55Which is embarrassing.
- 23:56You should not be out jumping these six
- 23:58foot tall men.
- 24:00That's not good.
- 24:01That's horrible.
- 24:02That shouldn't happen.
- 24:07I have a quick question about the five,
- 24:09ten, five.
- 24:11Because Jamie and I sat there and watched
- 24:12so many of these.
- 24:15When you took off in your first turn,
- 24:20you stayed almost horizontal.
- 24:22You should.
- 24:24On the second one,
- 24:25you started to turn before you got there,
- 24:28hit, and then came back.
- 24:30Was that intentional?
- 24:32So I wanted to do three steps to
- 24:33the left, about five,
- 24:35then start like a little shovel step to
- 24:38turn to hit the other side and then
- 24:40sprint out.
- 24:40Okay.
- 24:43so on the second one my foot's a
- 24:47little bit behind me so i had to
- 24:49almost go around my leg and because of
- 24:52that i'm kind of going i'm not going
- 24:53directly lateral i kind of move diagonal
- 24:58instead and that's a costly error on the
- 25:01five ten five so just like my hip
- 25:05so it's like a hip flip but you
- 25:06have to do a little bit there as
- 25:08you turn so the first one's almost like
- 25:09a crossover kind of shuffle
- 25:11And then the second one,
- 25:12you can kind of run a little bit,
- 25:14but that hip flip needs to need it
- 25:16to be a little bit more so I
- 25:17could face the, the middle more.
- 25:23So I wasn't as turn there and I
- 25:26stuck in that.
- 25:27I just kind of took a little detour.
- 25:29So that's what I was frustrated with of
- 25:32my, the lack of precision I had there.
- 25:38The hip flip on that second turn was
- 25:40smooth.
- 25:41A lot of people like they were so
- 25:43slow in the turn.
- 25:44It was like they were facing this
- 25:47direction and had to stop and turn
- 25:49completely then come back.
- 25:51Like you were turning before you got there
- 25:54and then boom, you were planted and gone.
- 25:58Um,
- 25:58so it wasn't like a criticism in any
- 26:00stretch.
- 26:00It just was,
- 26:02I just wanted to know your thought process
- 26:04through that.
- 26:04I just felt like I had a lack
- 26:05of execution there.
- 26:07Like I'll still be fast.
- 26:08Cause I do that.
- 26:09And she took second all the time,
- 26:12but I just a couple little,
- 26:14but like in those types of races,
- 26:15like a little bit of stick or a
- 26:17little detour,
- 26:19just it was like point something seconds.
- 26:22And that's, that's the difference.
- 26:25like still happy with it,
- 26:26but I definitely wanted to do better
- 26:28there.
- 26:30Eric Mackey,
- 26:30you showed visible frustration after your
- 26:32second five, ten, five attempt.
- 26:35You knew it right away.
- 26:37Yeah, I knew right away.
- 26:38I stuck and I did a,
- 26:39I tried to be more reckless on the
- 26:41second one because of,
- 26:44I already had a good score in the
- 26:45book and I was like, okay,
- 26:47my hand didn't touch the ground.
- 26:49Now let's see what happens.
- 26:52And I just
- 26:53almost like went to free and didn't focus.
- 26:58So my last question with the broad jump,
- 27:01and again, you took second in the five,
- 27:02ten, five.
- 27:04So the broad jump,
- 27:05there were the hashes on the on the
- 27:07ground.
- 27:09You were landing with toes beyond the
- 27:12fourth hash.
- 27:13The third one.
- 27:14The third one.
- 27:18Okay.
- 27:18Yeah.
- 27:20Yeah,
- 27:21I thought Guy went over five and you
- 27:22went over four, but I could be wrong.
- 27:24Um, uh,
- 27:27like basically I'm like looking at that
- 27:29hash the whole time and like reaching for
- 27:31that nine foot.
- 27:34That, so that was my question.
- 27:36Was that hash mark like your,
- 27:38your sight line for the job?
- 27:41Yeah,
- 27:41that I'm looking at that the whole time
- 27:44read and then.
- 27:45I know exactly like where the eight foot
- 27:48and the nine foot is.
- 27:49And I'm just like looking just a little
- 27:51bit ahead of the nine foot and like
- 27:53focusing on a good hip explosion.
- 27:56So what you're seeing a lot of the
- 27:57athletes do is some of them had good
- 27:59hip, like hip extension,
- 28:01but then there was no bend again in
- 28:04their knee.
- 28:06And a lot of them were scared to
- 28:08miss forward.
- 28:09And if you're scared to miss forward,
- 28:12you're not like,
- 28:13you're not talking,
- 28:14you're not being aggressive enough on your
- 28:15hips.
- 28:15And you should be almost landing on your
- 28:18butt because you're reaching so much.
- 28:21And a lot of the athletes were falling
- 28:23forward.
- 28:24And that's like, you should,
- 28:25you should never like be almost going,
- 28:28like you should be reached like hip
- 28:30extension, bend your knees,
- 28:32reach with your heels.
- 28:33Basically.
- 28:33Normally when you jump,
- 28:34you're not like doing it with your heels.
- 28:36You're landing more like toe or mid foot,
- 28:39but on the max broad jump,
- 28:42But so many of them were stepping forward.
- 28:44So I think they were like scared to
- 28:46miss, but they weren't, I don't know.
- 28:47They weren't planting.
- 28:50What was the standard on the land?
- 28:52You can't shuffle your feet.
- 28:54You can't put your hands forward or
- 28:55backwards.
- 28:56So you had to stick it.
- 28:58So I think some people were conservative,
- 28:59but with cleats,
- 29:00like you should be able to stick pretty
- 29:02good on turf.
- 29:04At least on that turf.
- 29:05I thought it was very sticky.
- 29:08Like if anything,
- 29:09you fall on your butt from being in
- 29:11a low,
- 29:14mobility position cleats are going to be a
- 29:15topic later in this discussion yeah so um
- 29:24i've so messed up here um so you
- 29:27finished that with a win overall one of
- 29:29the comments jamie and i had made is
- 29:31you won the combine by sixty some points
- 29:35and you got a five point win um
- 29:39Originally, when the workout came out,
- 29:41I'm like, ooh,
- 29:41how are they going to score this?
- 29:42Because I like all three of these.
- 29:46I knew I would be good at all
- 29:47three, but I was like,
- 29:48that should be good.
- 29:49And when they said, like,
- 29:51one hundred point, I was like, ah,
- 29:52I would love it to be more.
- 29:54But I get it this first time that
- 29:56they're doing it.
- 29:58I do have a story about this, Terry,
- 30:00where all the girls asking you for
- 30:01pointers.
- 30:01So when I first got there on Friday
- 30:04morning, I walked in.
- 30:06I was welcomed by Brian Friend and Tommy
- 30:08Marquez.
- 30:10And we were chatting.
- 30:12And Tommy says, you know,
- 30:13your girl was showing everybody how to do
- 30:15the broad jump last night.
- 30:17And I said, really?
- 30:18And he said, yeah.
- 30:20Everybody was like trying to figure out
- 30:22how to do it.
- 30:22And Carolyn is giving them pointers.
- 30:24And she's out jumping all of them.
- 30:26I don't know why she would do that.
- 30:29And I said, because it's Carolyn.
- 30:32And that's who she is.
- 30:32I helped them in the five.
- 30:34A lot of them wanted help more in
- 30:35the five-ten.
- 30:36A lot of them had the wrong hand
- 30:38down,
- 30:39were touching the line with the wrong
- 30:41hand,
- 30:43were completely turning and not staying
- 30:46sideways for the first time.
- 30:47five yards so i had a lot of
- 30:51people ask me um on that and i
- 30:56think it would be different if i see
- 30:57i think i think if if i didn't
- 31:00feel like i could take it it's different
- 31:03then i'm probably not helping as much i
- 31:04said she's gonna win even with but in
- 31:08my mind it wasn't gonna matter if i'm
- 31:11being honest uh she's a natural coach
- 31:14teacher and like some of them are my
- 31:15friends and like
- 31:16If I felt like they were like not
- 31:19in the right position, I'm like,
- 31:20switch hands or like reach more like,
- 31:24you know,
- 31:25but they were both telling me how amazed
- 31:28they were at your broad jump because you
- 31:31were truly out jumping everybody the night
- 31:33before, which is, I just,
- 31:36I did not expect that at all.
- 31:41Like I thought for sure,
- 31:42you do all that jumping.
- 31:44I know, but I'm not tall.
- 31:45I'm one of the shortest athletes out
- 31:47there.
- 31:48Which,
- 31:49Ronica and I were talking about that a
- 31:50little bit,
- 31:50because Colton got last in that.
- 31:53And, like,
- 31:55that dude is extremely explosive.
- 31:59I mean,
- 32:00he jumps those super tall box jumps just
- 32:03fine.
- 32:04But you could tell, like,
- 32:06the height definitely played a factor for
- 32:09the men.
- 32:09Oh, yeah.
- 32:14So I'm just one tall.
- 32:16Yeah.
- 32:17So just to help test out,
- 32:18cause it's driving your nuts.
- 32:19Do you have a lower setting on your
- 32:20ring light?
- 32:21Let me see.
- 32:23Cause it's the pitch black room here.
- 32:28Let me see.
- 32:29That's better.
- 32:30Yeah.
- 32:30It's off.
- 32:31Yeah.
- 32:31You're, you're really,
- 32:31you're washed out with the white.
- 32:34It looks like a ghost Carol.
- 32:37There we go.
- 32:38There we go.
- 32:42So, yeah, I don't know.
- 32:46Everybody got a preview of the Plyo
- 32:48program.
- 32:48A lot of them did talk to me
- 32:50about that this weekend.
- 32:50They're like,
- 32:51I think we're going to jump on your
- 32:52program.
- 32:52I saw a few comments like that.
- 32:53I mean,
- 32:56the pictures they got of you and the
- 32:58combine and like you have all the
- 33:00marketing materials you need.
- 33:01I made sure to wear my shirt too.
- 33:03Like this weekend, I was like, oh,
- 33:04I'm wearing this.
- 33:09It was perfect for you.
- 33:12Did you think twenty minutes was too long?
- 33:14Did you feel like you wanted it?
- 33:17You just don't know with the heat of
- 33:20I don't even know how many.
- 33:22You don't need probably as much time,
- 33:24but it is a max effort.
- 33:25I wish we had three broad jumps.
- 33:30I would have taken three of each test.
- 33:34People probably don't want three of the
- 33:36forty.
- 33:36Yeah.
- 33:38uh like i mean i suppose you wouldn't
- 33:39have to take three no you didn't have
- 33:41to it's they said you could take up
- 33:43to two so like some people just jogged
- 33:46or did one and done i think um
- 33:51so you don't have to but yeah the
- 33:55only comment was a lot like but the
- 33:57thing is the first one wasn't that much
- 33:59because we got from the back
- 34:02then we arrived there and I think people
- 34:04wanted to warm up a little bit for
- 34:06the forties.
- 34:06So they went behind the curtain and
- 34:07started, you know, warming up.
- 34:10I think like Laura was one of the
- 34:11last ones to run.
- 34:13And like, she did both of hers, like,
- 34:14I think like almost in the last five
- 34:16minutes,
- 34:17she kind of used that first bit to
- 34:18warm up,
- 34:20but you were just kind of seeing people
- 34:22eye each other's scores a little bit, um,
- 34:25or technique.
- 34:27So there was a lot of looking around,
- 34:29studying people, stuff like that.
- 34:34The only comment I made in a negative
- 34:36fashion,
- 34:36and it's not really negative because I
- 34:38really enjoyed the event,
- 34:39and I told Patrick this in person and
- 34:43in the chat earlier today or this weekend,
- 34:47is that the NFL Combine is a single-file
- 34:50line.
- 34:50It's one track, and people just go.
- 34:54You just get up and you go.
- 34:56whatever times you're going to run it with
- 35:00twenty minutes and it only being ten
- 35:01seconds tops to get done I think they
- 35:05could have gotten through everybody in
- 35:07each heat pretty easily in the twenty
- 35:08minutes and it would have been better for
- 35:12as a spectator event because like a single
- 35:14spotlight you would want
- 35:16yes so you could see everybody some people
- 35:19were wanting to go with people and then
- 35:21i noticed that kind of race you kind
- 35:23of you saw that a little bit but
- 35:24it it hurt them because they were looking
- 35:27to the side when running instead of
- 35:29worrying about finishing yeah i think it
- 35:31was like oda at one point was looking
- 35:33at her friend one of the norwegians with
- 35:36her and maybe it was matilda and starts
- 35:38running with her which i mean probably was
- 35:40fun you know it was like a school
- 35:42playground race
- 35:45But I do agree.
- 35:45I think that would be cool to do
- 35:46more of a single spotlight and then go
- 35:49through the line.
- 35:49And then the second time you go through,
- 35:50you can either move to the side and
- 35:52pass.
- 35:52And then that time is given to the
- 35:57next person.
- 35:58Then it would be easier to flash a
- 35:59time for each person real quick so the
- 36:03people watching could see.
- 36:04Because Jamie and I had no clue what
- 36:06the times were.
- 36:07We were trying to listen to the desk
- 36:09show.
- 36:10Sometimes if Seth was talking,
- 36:12we could hear.
- 36:14But pretty much everybody else where we
- 36:16had to stand, we couldn't hear the times.
- 36:19And like we only as athlete knew our
- 36:22own.
- 36:22And then unless you went to other athletes
- 36:24and they told you,
- 36:25but on the screen on some of them,
- 36:27you could go and like look in other
- 36:28people's lane and try.
- 36:29Like, I mean, I was doing that,
- 36:30trying to see other scores.
- 36:33I don't know that that many people were
- 36:34doing that,
- 36:35but I certainly was trying to figure out
- 36:37where I stood.
- 36:39And,
- 36:39and Patrick said that they knew that that
- 36:41was a shortcoming, but the,
- 36:42the amount of wires that would have taken
- 36:44to put what would have made it difficult
- 36:47to get the floor set up for the
- 36:49events.
- 36:51So, all right.
- 36:52So event two was Friday night and that
- 36:56was.
- 36:58Four rounds per time,
- 37:00twelve parallel handstand pushups,
- 37:01twenty-four GHG setups,
- 37:03twelve block jumpovers, six flip sleds.
- 37:08And we talked about that this weekend
- 37:10about like,
- 37:10it was cool to see a long chipper
- 37:15in a fitness event.
- 37:17I liked that workout.
- 37:17I thought it was fun to do.
- 37:19There was different areas that different
- 37:21athletes could kind of shine and maybe
- 37:24pick up some speed.
- 37:25Some people were really good on the
- 37:26parallel handstand pushups and are able to
- 37:27go on broken each round.
- 37:29Some people have so fast GHDs.
- 37:34For me, I made up,
- 37:35a lot of time on the box jump
- 37:36overs.
- 37:37Like I wanted twenty four box jump overs.
- 37:39And then some people were moving the sled
- 37:41better and taking a couple of deep breaths
- 37:43and then going and then other people were
- 37:45resting a lot more.
- 37:46So they're like each I felt each movement
- 37:49mattered on that event.
- 37:50I thought it was really well programmed.
- 37:52It was fun to do.
- 37:53Minus Pat's Achilles.
- 37:57Everything else, I think it went well.
- 37:59It was a good test.
- 38:00I don't know how it was for you
- 38:01guys to watch,
- 38:02but I enjoyed it as an athlete.
- 38:03I enjoyed watching it.
- 38:04Really enjoyed it.
- 38:07Each element was fun to watch as its
- 38:09own.
- 38:09And in the pit,
- 38:12I could move down the floor with
- 38:13everybody.
- 38:15And so it was really cool because I
- 38:17could watch the handstand pushups into the
- 38:20GHDs,
- 38:22the box jump overs into the flip sleds
- 38:26or vice versa, whatever the order was.
- 38:28I'm terrible at workout memory.
- 38:33I loved it.
- 38:35Jamie and I talked about this a lot
- 38:37on Sunday.
- 38:38There's this narrative around this event
- 38:40that so many people were injured.
- 38:43And at the end of the day,
- 38:44I talked to medical on Sunday.
- 38:47It was a torn pec, a torn Achilles,
- 38:51cramps were the three withdraws on the
- 38:54men's side.
- 38:55Some other people drew from hamstring
- 38:57pools, but they weren't major injuries.
- 39:00They were tweaks.
- 39:03And Jamie pointed this out to me,
- 39:04the fifty out of fifty women finished.
- 39:08There were some injuries.
- 39:09Like I think Ella came in injured.
- 39:11Matilda came in with a little bit of
- 39:13an injury to like from the games.
- 39:17Um,
- 39:18one girl injured her hamstring on the
- 39:21sprint.
- 39:22Yes.
- 39:23But I don't think it's a bad test
- 39:25though.
- 39:25Like I don't think doing the combine is
- 39:28a bad test.
- 39:28I I've been saying it forever.
- 39:30Like I think it's needed.
- 39:31We've ignored this part of our fitness for
- 39:35way too long.
- 39:37Um,
- 39:41And it can happen to anyone.
- 39:43It happens to sprinters all the time that
- 39:44they can do and they practice all the
- 39:47time.
- 39:47I've been saying all week,
- 39:48Rogue had two torn Achilles in the same
- 39:50event at the same location.
- 39:53Nobody's bashing Rogue for what they do,
- 39:55right?
- 39:56So I think it's just a narrative that
- 39:58people want to put out there and I
- 40:00just wanted to squash it.
- 40:02That there really weren't any more
- 40:05injuries at this event than any other.
- 40:09I still think it's part of sports too.
- 40:14It's going to happen.
- 40:17If people start training this and start
- 40:19training a little bit more laterally and
- 40:21add pure sprints,
- 40:24would the injuries go down a little bit
- 40:27more or go down more with time?
- 40:29I think
- 40:31Will gave fifteen weeks, maybe,
- 40:33notice on this test for people.
- 40:36He told me ten.
- 40:37A lot of the ones that got injured
- 40:39with the hamstrings are the older
- 40:40athletes.
- 40:41Right.
- 40:42You know, Yona Chandler, Sam Konawaye,
- 40:47like me a month ago.
- 40:52Right.
- 40:53It was a lot of the older ones.
- 40:56And athletes that, you know,
- 40:58compete a lot or went to
- 41:01to the games and could be still a
- 41:02little bit fatigued there.
- 41:04Um,
- 41:04but I just think that if people train
- 41:07it more consistently and from a younger
- 41:10age, I think it would be better.
- 41:14I, I,
- 41:14I do not think that we should, um,
- 41:18not program it.
- 41:19Like, I think it's important.
- 41:21Like people sprint at recess grown up.
- 41:24You want to see who the fastest is.
- 41:26You want to see who can go from
- 41:27point A to point B the fastest,
- 41:29not under fatigue and,
- 41:31For too long,
- 41:31we only test things under fatigue or
- 41:35longer, mid to long distance.
- 41:36So I'm happy that they're willing to do
- 41:39it.
- 41:39Even if it was a one yard in
- 41:41front, I think it's a start.
- 41:44And I am very happy that he programmed
- 41:47that clearly,
- 41:48but I hope that we can see it
- 41:52down the road.
- 41:53And like,
- 41:54who knows the type of athletes that we
- 41:55might get at the games if you start
- 41:57programming this kind of stuff.
- 41:59It could change.
- 42:01I did talk to Will Friday night and
- 42:04I asked him flat out,
- 42:06was he concerned about hamstring pools in
- 42:08the forty?
- 42:09And his answer was awesome.
- 42:12He said,
- 42:12there's a reason we gave ten weeks notice.
- 42:15for that event he they consulted with um
- 42:19nfl trainers and people associated with
- 42:22the nfl on how to set it up
- 42:24on what they thought about the whole thing
- 42:28there was a lot of research done and
- 42:29it was not just a willy-nilly throw it
- 42:31out there um and so no pun intended
- 42:37But anyway, I just want to say,
- 42:41I was really impressed with his answer.
- 42:43I thought he was really well prepared for
- 42:44that.
- 42:45And I just think a lot of the
- 42:47tests this week,
- 42:48like we're tests that people can go back
- 42:51home and do and compare.
- 42:54And these are numbers that people know,
- 42:55like a ten K run,
- 42:57a backs bench press, the combine test.
- 43:00Like these are like,
- 43:03straight up test that you can compare
- 43:04minus the forty with the,
- 43:06it's called the fast forty.
- 43:07I guess you could compare to Apex because
- 43:10they do it that way, I'm pretty sure.
- 43:13They might do a two point stance though.
- 43:15Grant says he wants to sprint Carolyn and
- 43:17no you don't and you're going to lose.
- 43:19There's no need.
- 43:21I don't think he wants to race her.
- 43:23I just think he wants to sprint.
- 43:27He does want to sprint Carolyn.
- 43:30Bring it, let's go.
- 43:33He didn't say against Carolyn.
- 43:35I know grant.
- 43:37I know.
- 43:37Again.
- 43:39He said he's talking to Carolyn.
- 43:41He's saying he was old.
- 43:42He was comma, comma, comma, right?
- 43:43I want to sprint comma.
- 43:44Carolyn is comma Italian for backpedal
- 43:49backpedal backpedal.
- 43:54I'm just kidding.
- 43:56I'm just giving him shit.
- 44:00You need hours and hours of training and
- 44:02while fatigued.
- 44:05That's a question mark.
- 44:06What is it?
- 44:12For what?
- 44:12The forty?
- 44:14Yeah.
- 44:16Why were they fatigued?
- 44:17This is the first event.
- 44:18He's asking,
- 44:19do you need to do hours of training
- 44:21while fatigued?
- 44:23Oh.
- 44:23I mean,
- 44:26there's some benefit for certain parts of
- 44:28CrossFit,
- 44:29but anytime you're doing like a max
- 44:32sprint, it shouldn't be under fatigue.
- 44:40Okay.
- 44:44Then we go to day two,
- 44:47where we started with the ten K.
- 44:49And my big question to you on this
- 44:50was,
- 44:52I know you hate the long distance running,
- 44:54but it's necessary.
- 44:56I've had to do it all these years.
- 44:58I finished almost last all these years.
- 45:02It's okay.
- 45:02It's part of it.
- 45:04But you didn't.
- 45:05Did you do as bad as you thought?
- 45:08basically as expected i don't know where
- 45:09it was like thirty-fifth out of fifty
- 45:11something like that i cannot find you
- 45:16anywhere on my eyes or just i think
- 45:20the thirty-fifth is um but i i don't
- 45:25think that's either like i think that's
- 45:27needed like you have to like in a
- 45:29test of fitness you got to go short
- 45:31you got to go long you got to
- 45:32go mid you got to swim you got
- 45:34to do crossfit like it's a little bit
- 45:35of everything
- 45:36And if there's something that I really,
- 45:38really like,
- 45:39I probably have a weakness somewhere else.
- 45:41And this is a weakness that I have
- 45:43that I need to work on.
- 45:45I also haven't ran like I,
- 45:46I hadn't run more than ran more than
- 45:49three K going into this comp because of
- 45:51my hamstring.
- 45:52Like I didn't run at all leading up
- 45:54to here.
- 45:55So I didn't practice it.
- 45:57So I was as expected.
- 45:59And even if I did maybe I get
- 46:02somewhere between and not much more than
- 46:05that.
- 46:07Um,
- 46:08Lauren Smith posted notes from the weekend
- 46:10today.
- 46:11And one of the notes was that Amanda
- 46:13had done this without a watch to pace
- 46:16herself.
- 46:18Do you think that that is impressive?
- 46:20Jamie, just their eyes tell the story,
- 46:22I guess.
- 46:25I mean, I usually know my pace anyway,
- 46:27so I just, I,
- 46:33I almost feel like she should have just
- 46:34run with whoever was second.
- 46:38Like, I don't know,
- 46:39was she going for a PR?
- 46:40What was the goal there?
- 46:41I don't know.
- 46:44Whatever the goal was, it was fast.
- 46:45I guess.
- 46:47She had her home runs,
- 46:48and she had her clearly not home runs.
- 46:50So, like, I guess you just take it.
- 46:52But in this type of competition with fifty
- 46:55athletes,
- 46:56it is so important to go get that
- 47:00home run, like,
- 47:01and go get that hundred points.
- 47:02Because a fifteenth place,
- 47:04which is a great finish,
- 47:06is forty-eight points.
- 47:08And then after that,
- 47:09like you're basically getting like barely
- 47:11any points.
- 47:12So anytime anyone gets like a wheelhouse
- 47:15event and they get like a hundred points,
- 47:17they could basically finish last the rest
- 47:19of the weekend and accumulate more than
- 47:22someone that was way more well-rounded
- 47:23than them.
- 47:25Just because of the way that the scoring
- 47:27was.
- 47:27So like, to me,
- 47:28that makes no sense just because I think
- 47:31it defeats the well-roundedness.
- 47:33Like it, it,
- 47:37puts too much emphasis on being a
- 47:40specialist of something.
- 47:42And in these sort of tests,
- 47:43it definitely rewarded that.
- 47:47Winter is looking for Carolyn sprinting
- 47:49for old folks track.
- 47:55So then we move to the bench press.
- 47:58And as a spectator,
- 48:01this is one I was really looking forward
- 48:03to.
- 48:04And as a spectator,
- 48:05it was a real tough watch.
- 48:09There were way too many cameras on the
- 48:11floor, way too many judges,
- 48:14way too many spotters.
- 48:15I know why the spotters are there and
- 48:17they need to be there.
- 48:20But I don't know why we need eight
- 48:22different angles of a crotch shot with
- 48:25someone benching.
- 48:26I find it half perverted and half
- 48:31unneeded.
- 48:35Holding a camera at the floor,
- 48:37doing an upshot of someone laying on a
- 48:39bench is wrong.
- 48:43And I'm just going to say it.
- 48:45And it was happening way too much at
- 48:47this event.
- 48:50I didn't get any pictures like that.
- 48:54No, I agree.
- 48:56Yeah, I mean,
- 48:57very impressive how strong people are.
- 49:00I think like the average person,
- 49:02For the females, I get two, ten,
- 49:03which is just crazy.
- 49:07I tied my PR at one eighty five.
- 49:09I'm not a good venture.
- 49:13I think I was like forty something on
- 49:15that, maybe forty first.
- 49:17I had my mind on that event.
- 49:21Which I thought I was going to finish
- 49:22last, but people are just strong.
- 49:26Yeah, I've never been a good presser,
- 49:28like a strict presser or just any type
- 49:30of pressing, so.
- 49:33Wasn't too surprised there,
- 49:37but also surprised at how strong people
- 49:39are.
- 49:39Yeah.
- 49:40And Dana's two.
- 49:42And she missed two.
- 49:43Yeah.
- 49:43Um, and like just talking to her,
- 49:47like that's a number two,
- 49:49that she used to always hit.
- 49:51So she lifts a lot less and barely
- 49:54even lifts now because she's just so
- 49:56strong from her power lifting days and
- 49:58Olympic lifting days.
- 49:59So she's still able to, you know,
- 50:02win events like this.
- 50:03Um, but she was mad that like,
- 50:06she didn't have the two fifties still in
- 50:09her.
- 50:09And I was like, I feel that,
- 50:11but that's an athlete that like in these
- 50:14tours, you know,
- 50:16first place in the deadlift first place in
- 50:18this one,
- 50:19probably first place in the back squat,
- 50:20possibly in the next one,
- 50:21like can just get these hundred point
- 50:23events and in large fields like that is
- 50:27huge, huge, huge, huge.
- 50:34I want to make it clear that my
- 50:35crotch shot comment is not exclusive to
- 50:37WFP.
- 50:39That is a problem at all events.
- 50:43I don't know why we have to be
- 50:44that close and why we need eight.
- 50:47There was a point where Ariel was in
- 50:50lane ten right in front of me and
- 50:52there were six people around the GHD
- 50:55filming her.
- 50:58Why is that necessary?
- 51:00I just don't get it.
- 51:02But it's not exclusive to WFP.
- 51:04It happens at every event I go to.
- 51:08I think it was Nick Matthew in the
- 51:10handstand walk kicked the camera guy.
- 51:13Because once again,
- 51:14they're just too close to the athletes.
- 51:19And what happens if that's a no rep?
- 51:22Well, I know.
- 51:23He was lucky that it wasn't.
- 51:25You have to just let him go from
- 51:26where he was.
- 51:27Like if they interfere at all, you can't.
- 51:29It can't be a no rep.
- 51:31But I just, as spectators,
- 51:34we've complained so much about those
- 51:36close-up shots.
- 51:37Just get them off the floor.
- 51:39Like,
- 51:39they don't need to follow a single
- 51:41athlete.
- 51:41Nobody wants to see that.
- 51:42We want to see the race on the
- 51:44floor.
- 51:44Back up, show all the links.
- 51:47And here's the deal.
- 51:47The WFP floor was set up beautifully to
- 51:50have people around.
- 51:51There was a gap between the barricade and
- 51:54the floor.
- 51:55Media could,
- 51:56they could have taken all the media from
- 51:58that area and had clear shots.
- 52:00And then the people sitting up high would
- 52:02see over them.
- 52:03Right.
- 52:05Now I see KDL saying at home on
- 52:07the broadcast, it wasn't so bad,
- 52:09just busy on the screen.
- 52:11But I think because those cameras that
- 52:13were so close were giving you the
- 52:15broadcast.
- 52:16If you were there live, your,
- 52:19your view of everything was really,
- 52:21really hampered a ton.
- 52:23Yeah.
- 52:28This weekend,
- 52:29was there any live scoring on, like,
- 52:32the rig?
- 52:33Because, like,
- 52:33I remember in London they had that.
- 52:36Okay,
- 52:36so you guys didn't get to see that.
- 52:38No.
- 52:38That was really cool, the London stuff.
- 52:40Now,
- 52:40the Jumbotron did have the NASCAR or the
- 52:43F-One scoring.
- 52:45So if you could see the numbers,
- 52:48you could follow along.
- 52:50And what was nice is they always had
- 52:51the time to beat up there.
- 52:53They had everybody score whether you're
- 52:55first or tenth.
- 52:58And I like the numbers going down towards
- 53:01the zero to see how much,
- 53:02like how many more reps they have left
- 53:06in workouts that are like for reps.
- 53:09And then we had the final event of
- 53:12the day,
- 53:13which was probably the most controversial.
- 53:16And that was the sled push.
- 53:19Now I heard, I heard a comment that,
- 53:22and you can confirm or deny this,
- 53:25that there were people that were upset and
- 53:26wanted to appeal the sled because they
- 53:28were in a sticky lane,
- 53:31and that Jason Ainsley met with all those
- 53:33athletes and discussed it with them,
- 53:36saying that while he understands how they
- 53:38feel and he understands that that may be
- 53:40a possibility,
- 53:41there was no way for them to uniformly
- 53:45correct that.
- 53:47and because he met with the athletes the
- 53:48athletes seemed to be okay with it and
- 53:51actually appreciated him being upfront and
- 53:54honest about it um i did see a
- 53:58lot of complaints specifically for lane
- 54:00five um i remember watching it because i
- 54:04went um back to like the house between
- 54:08the events to just chill and i'm watching
- 54:10it on my phone and every single heat
- 54:12of the men of the lane five
- 54:15Like sometimes they'd be in the lead and
- 54:16all of a sudden they get to the
- 54:17sled and like nothing.
- 54:19You had this one guy,
- 54:20I think in heat three was like throwing
- 54:21his arms.
- 54:22Like what the hell's happening?
- 54:25Um, and I'm like, well, this sucks.
- 54:27I'm in lane five later.
- 54:29Um,
- 54:30so I wouldn't be surprised that you had
- 54:33a lot of people complain specifically for
- 54:35that lane.
- 54:36That's the one thing that sleds that's
- 54:38tough is sometimes it can be different
- 54:42from one side.
- 54:44of the field to the next.
- 54:46Um, and then on top of that,
- 54:48I think it was clear that the sled
- 54:51weight for that particular turf was not,
- 54:56um, the appropriate stimulus,
- 54:59but once the event had started,
- 55:01you can't change the weight for the men,
- 55:03um, for different heats.
- 55:05So you kind of had to go with
- 55:06it.
- 55:06So for the men's race, it really, really,
- 55:09really came down to.
- 55:10people's shoes if they brought cleats to
- 55:12begin with,
- 55:13because a lot of them didn't bring cleats.
- 55:15So thankfully I was at home because I
- 55:17wasn't going to bring cleats.
- 55:18And once I started seeing how much the
- 55:20workout was about the sled,
- 55:22I packed my cleats up.
- 55:23So it became who had the right shoes
- 55:25and, uh, who,
- 55:27who could move the sled the best.
- 55:29And in some cases,
- 55:31which lane were you in?
- 55:32Um, I was happy to see that, uh,
- 55:37Will was, um,
- 55:42what's the word?
- 55:43Like had enough humility to change the
- 55:46weights for the female right from the
- 55:48get-go, knowing that like,
- 55:50you don't want the entire field to get
- 55:52capped.
- 55:53And he lowered it by twenty pounds from
- 55:55one seventy to one fifty.
- 55:57Now the sled still was, I think,
- 55:59a major factor for a lot of the
- 56:00athletes regardless.
- 56:01And there were still a lot of people
- 56:03that capped.
- 56:05But I certainly think that that was the
- 56:06right call to make it a little bit
- 56:09more where each
- 56:11part of the workout mattered um so I
- 56:15was I was happy with that switch I
- 56:17liked that event it was tough um yeah
- 56:19I brought my soccer cleats and I didn't
- 56:21think it like it didn't really bother me
- 56:23for the sandbag as much as I thought
- 56:26it would to be on cleats it was
- 56:28fine but made a big difference on the
- 56:31sled I still feel like I have a
- 56:32bruised forehead like my forehead was in
- 56:35that
- 56:36You were pushing on the post.
- 56:38Was leaning on it the whole time.
- 56:39So it's still sensitive here for the last
- 56:41couple of days,
- 56:43just from leaning on that thing.
- 56:46But my lane was fine and I was
- 56:47in lane five.
- 56:49Each length,
- 56:50I never stopped in the middle.
- 56:51I went full lengths every time.
- 56:55Yeah, I liked that event.
- 56:56It was fun.
- 56:57Just finished it under that time cap.
- 56:59I like pushed the sled to like,
- 57:02I don't know,
- 57:02it was like twelve fifty five.
- 57:04And I do like five seconds left to
- 57:05like
- 57:06job to the finish line and that was
- 57:08a hard waddle walk to the finish line
- 57:11but just made it a second before um
- 57:15yeah it was good so that that event
- 57:16caused the biggest fight between jamie and
- 57:18i over the weekend why uh because she
- 57:22said lane five was sticky and i'm tired
- 57:24of the narrative of whenever we have a
- 57:27sled push it's always the lane's fault not
- 57:29anybody else so i watched very closely the
- 57:31men there was really poor technique in
- 57:34lane five
- 57:36Like really poor technique.
- 57:38And part of this thing that everybody does
- 57:41here is adaptability.
- 57:43And a lot of those men just threw
- 57:45their arms up like, oh,
- 57:46I can't do it.
- 57:48Instead of changing the technique and
- 57:50looking at the other lanes and seeing how
- 57:52the other people were pushing the sled.
- 57:55I don't know.
- 57:58That looked bad.
- 57:59That lane five looked bad to me.
- 57:59But because Jamie and I were fighting
- 58:01about it,
- 58:01I was watching all of those heats.
- 58:05And they were holding high,
- 58:07and they were fully extended trying to
- 58:08push the slip.
- 58:09Some of them were lifting it too much.
- 58:10There were a lot of different techniques.
- 58:14like yellow who was pushing it very easily
- 58:16had his shoulders against the posts his
- 58:19hands were on the weights like he was
- 58:22leaning forward so much that the the front
- 58:24of the sled couldn't come up or couldn't
- 58:28like couldn't get stuck and lift the back
- 58:33you couldn't pick up the back because he
- 58:34was leaning on it um
- 58:38And so while it could have been a
- 58:40little bit sticky, sure,
- 58:41but also the men in there did nothing
- 58:43to try to change their situation.
- 58:46And I think that that is the modern
- 58:48CrossFit athlete is not as adaptable as
- 58:53the OGs.
- 58:56They practice it one way,
- 58:58and if it doesn't go right,
- 59:00it's throw my hands up in the air.
- 59:03Now, that is not universal,
- 59:04but that is a generalization of a lot
- 59:08of the newer athletes.
- 59:15Yeah.
- 59:15When it got to the female weight,
- 59:16I felt it was fine.
- 59:17And that was my argument back to Jamie.
- 59:22The women weren't having trouble in lane
- 59:24five.
- 59:24But I didn't know if it was because
- 59:25they lowered the weights and because I had
- 59:27sock cleats on.
- 59:30Some of the men had cleats, I believe.
- 59:33Yeah, some did.
- 59:37Yona definitely had cleats.
- 59:41Because Yona is the one that told Bergeros
- 59:47to go get cleats.
- 59:50I was texting Lex because she was watching
- 59:52the stream.
- 59:53And I was like,
- 59:54I don't know if I should be wearing
- 59:55my soccer cleats for this one or this.
- 59:57She goes,
- 59:57Burgos has soccer cleats on right now.
- 59:59Wear your soccer cleats.
- 1:00:01That's the text I get from her.
- 1:00:04So then I put mine on and I
- 1:00:05started warming up with them.
- 1:00:06I was like, thank God I did.
- 1:00:09So you finish that day and then go
- 1:00:11back and then we come back in the
- 1:00:13morning and you're at the local YMCA.
- 1:00:15Beautiful pool at a YMCA.
- 1:00:19I swam my whole life and I've never
- 1:00:23been in a YMCA that beautiful.
- 1:00:25Yeah, it was really nice.
- 1:00:28Um,
- 1:00:29I got to tell my story real quick
- 1:00:30is I was sitting with Ty Jenkins parents
- 1:00:34for this event and it made that experience
- 1:00:37really, really fun.
- 1:00:38They knew who to look out for.
- 1:00:41in each heat in whose time and Ty's
- 1:00:44dad is taking splits of everything to know
- 1:00:47where they are at every point.
- 1:00:49And then when Ty came up,
- 1:00:51Oh my gosh, he's,
- 1:00:52he's five seconds behind.
- 1:00:53Oh, like,
- 1:00:54and I'm getting to experience all this
- 1:00:56throughout the event.
- 1:00:58And then eventually Ty actually wins the
- 1:01:00event.
- 1:01:02So shout out,
- 1:01:03shout out to John and Heather.
- 1:01:05They are awesome people.
- 1:01:07And, uh,
- 1:01:09And they gave me a great experience in
- 1:01:10watching that event.
- 1:01:14Yeah, I got to meet John, too.
- 1:01:15He introduced himself.
- 1:01:17And so then he watches the show.
- 1:01:19Yep.
- 1:01:21Heather told me that she sees our face
- 1:01:23on the TV screen all the time.
- 1:01:27Yeah, that event,
- 1:01:29I knew it wasn't going to be great.
- 1:01:31I mean,
- 1:01:31I think I've swam three times in the
- 1:01:33last two and a half years.
- 1:01:35And it was this summer.
- 1:01:39But I felt like the echo bike mattered
- 1:01:42a lot because I wasn't the worst swimmer.
- 1:01:44Okay.
- 1:01:45I'm not a great swimmer,
- 1:01:45but I wasn't the worst swimmer.
- 1:01:46Okay.
- 1:01:46Thankfully.
- 1:01:50But let's say I'm, you know,
- 1:01:54five to ten seconds faster than some of
- 1:01:56the bad swimmers, even more than that.
- 1:02:00They would make up that time on the
- 1:02:01echo bike.
- 1:02:01Like some of them could make up almost
- 1:02:04thirty seconds on the echo bike by just
- 1:02:06sprinting so much
- 1:02:09better so i thought it was like a
- 1:02:12pretty good balance of both whereas the
- 1:02:15swim mattered but i actually think the
- 1:02:18echo bike mattered more so like i wasn't
- 1:02:21the last to the echo bike but i
- 1:02:24think the two people that were there
- 1:02:26basically at the same time as me beat
- 1:02:27me by like twenty seconds on the echo
- 1:02:29light and i and i was swimming swimming
- 1:02:32just as good or faster than them so
- 1:02:35Yeah,
- 1:02:35I think both of those weren't great for
- 1:02:37me,
- 1:02:37and I think I paid – that was
- 1:02:39my worst finish of the whole weekend was
- 1:02:41that event.
- 1:02:43Ty went all out on the echo bike.
- 1:02:44Yeah,
- 1:02:44he even surprised his parents because they
- 1:02:47thought that's where James and Yellow were
- 1:02:49going to get him.
- 1:02:50And he actually – I think he finished
- 1:02:51the last one in twenty-five seconds.
- 1:02:53Crazy.
- 1:02:53That's fast.
- 1:02:57But it goes to someone who has swam
- 1:03:00a lot,
- 1:03:01and when he gets out of the pool,
- 1:03:02he is more equipped to then go all
- 1:03:05out on the echo bike.
- 1:03:07So I think it did play.
- 1:03:09I like the mix of the two.
- 1:03:12Yeah.
- 1:03:13He got right on the bike.
- 1:03:14James, like,
- 1:03:15fumbled getting in his shoes and getting
- 1:03:16on.
- 1:03:17It was, like, good.
- 1:03:19And kudos to all the people that just
- 1:03:21went barefoot on that thing.
- 1:03:23Yeah.
- 1:03:23That was crazy.
- 1:03:24Laura got on there barefoot.
- 1:03:26Like Hannah here is one of the best
- 1:03:27swimmers.
- 1:03:28I think she got top five on this,
- 1:03:30maybe third or fourth.
- 1:03:31And she held eighty to eighty five RPM.
- 1:03:34But like if I did that, you know,
- 1:03:38I'm making it maybe fifteen yards and I
- 1:03:39got it and I got to go hold
- 1:03:41on to that.
- 1:03:47So there was someone that had to do
- 1:03:49that.
- 1:03:50You could have backstroked.
- 1:03:50Yeah, I mean.
- 1:03:55But again,
- 1:03:56if you're able to do that and swim
- 1:03:59and recover on your swim,
- 1:04:00like that's different.
- 1:04:02But some people were slow and then could
- 1:04:04do that at the end.
- 1:04:05Whereas like I didn't even have that power
- 1:04:06at the end because I was so winded
- 1:04:08from the swim.
- 1:04:11So both are bad for me.
- 1:04:13So yeah, it wasn't great.
- 1:04:16Clock,
- 1:04:16I hear YMCA pool or swimming at the
- 1:04:18Y and my eyes start burning.
- 1:04:20I believe it's one part chlorine,
- 1:04:22two parts water is their formula,
- 1:04:24I believe.
- 1:04:25Yeah,
- 1:04:25YMCA pools are notorious for being
- 1:04:28over-chlorinated.
- 1:04:31I've swum at a lot of them.
- 1:04:34It is brutal.
- 1:04:35High school pools,
- 1:04:36college pools are way better than that,
- 1:04:40way, way better.
- 1:04:45Yeah, Hannah was awesome this weekend.
- 1:04:49It was fun watching her.
- 1:04:53I like this event.
- 1:04:55I kind of wish,
- 1:04:56and I was going to do this before
- 1:04:57we got on the show to see if
- 1:04:59it even would have mattered,
- 1:05:01but I kind of wish that this would
- 1:05:03have been maybe scored like the Combine
- 1:05:06was in that each section was scored.
- 1:05:11Because there were people who, like, did,
- 1:05:13like, two-thirty and then, like, went,
- 1:05:15like, three-oh-five.
- 1:05:17And some people went, like,
- 1:05:18two-thirty and two-fifty.
- 1:05:21And I would have liked to seen that
- 1:05:23recover.
- 1:05:23But, like, there were still races.
- 1:05:26Don't get me wrong.
- 1:05:26Still a hundred point event.
- 1:05:28Just, like, taking an average, like,
- 1:05:30where you are.
- 1:05:30Yep.
- 1:05:31But, like, you may have gotten, like,
- 1:05:33you could have pulled a Newberry, right?
- 1:05:35You could have been like,
- 1:05:35I'm going ham on the first one,
- 1:05:37and maybe I'm going to get last in
- 1:05:39the second one.
- 1:05:40Or I'm going to try to be average.
- 1:05:43Or I'm going to start a little slower,
- 1:05:44and I'm going to beat everyone on the
- 1:05:45last one because I know everyone else is
- 1:05:47going to go out hot.
- 1:05:48I just,
- 1:05:49I think I've looked at it a little
- 1:05:51bit,
- 1:05:52and I think there's some pretty
- 1:05:53significant, like, some of the ties are,
- 1:05:55But some of the very, very close, like,
- 1:05:57.
- 1:05:57.
- 1:05:57.
- 1:05:57.
- 1:05:57.
- 1:05:58.
- 1:05:58.
- 1:05:58.
- 1:05:58.

- 1:06:01.
- 1:06:01.
- 1:06:01.
- 1:06:01.
- 1:06:01.
- 1:06:01.
- 1:06:01.
- 1:06:01.
- 1:06:01.
- 1:06:01.
- 1:06:01.
- 1:06:01.
- 1:06:01.
- 1:06:02.
- 1:06:02.
- 1:06:02.
- 1:06:02.
- 1:06:02.
- 1:06:02.
- 1:06:02.
- 1:06:02.
- 1:06:02.
- 1:06:02.
- 1:06:02.
- 1:06:02.
- 1:06:02.
- 1:06:02.
- 1:06:02.
- 1:06:02.
- 1:06:02. .
- 1:06:27I think there's also supposed to be a
- 1:06:29swim in Denmark.
- 1:06:32I think Will said that on a podcast
- 1:06:35before.
- 1:06:35So this is probably just to make sure
- 1:06:37that people can at least survive the swim.
- 1:06:40And I'm going to assume it's going to
- 1:06:41be a longer swim in Denmark.
- 1:06:45I'm just going to guess.
- 1:06:50We'll talk about that in a second.
- 1:06:53Hannah is jumping on Carolyn's program for
- 1:06:54Apex next month.
- 1:06:56think you're gonna do your apex before i
- 1:06:58launch mine so i don't know if it'll
- 1:07:00work maybe she's looking for a little
- 1:07:03backdoor deal yeah it'd be the beta test
- 1:07:06of your of your program my first one
- 1:07:10is like uh i'm doing like a fundamentals
- 1:07:16so i won't have as much as of
- 1:07:18the super advanced drills it'll
- 1:07:22Progress.
- 1:07:23I think it's important for people.
- 1:07:25I think too many people jump into more
- 1:07:28advanced things and their basics aren't as
- 1:07:32good with their arms and just landing and
- 1:07:34stuff.
- 1:07:35So hopefully they'll do this one first.
- 1:07:37And then if it goes well,
- 1:07:38then I'll launch a more monthly one that
- 1:07:41is a higher performing one.
- 1:07:44Give me early access, she says.
- 1:07:48um the dr phillips ymca in orlando is
- 1:07:51bougie i don't know i i i went
- 1:07:55to orlando for nationals one year um i
- 1:07:58don't know if it was a ymca pool
- 1:07:59or not but it was a a pool
- 1:08:02where the roof like just like the uh
- 1:08:05rca dome like the roof slid down and
- 1:08:08it could be an outdoor pool or indoor
- 1:08:10pool so whatever it was it was bougie
- 1:08:15And it had like a full diving.
- 1:08:17Well, Judy Reed, um,
- 1:08:19with ten meter platform and down.
- 1:08:25Uh, so last, last workout was four times,
- 1:08:29thirty five, twenty five calorie row,
- 1:08:31twenty five bar muscle ups,
- 1:08:33hundred fifty foot handstand walk.
- 1:08:35And that's where this is where everything
- 1:08:37came to a crawl.
- 1:08:38And we had five squat snatches heavy.
- 1:08:41This almost felt like a different workout
- 1:08:43for the females than the men.
- 1:08:45Like the men, for whatever reason,
- 1:08:48had no problem with the two forty five
- 1:08:50or most of them were all finishing.
- 1:08:52And on the female side,
- 1:08:53there were big differences.
- 1:08:56Like there were levels to it.
- 1:08:59Oh, yeah.
- 1:08:59I think I could push the front half,
- 1:09:02rest a little bit and then slowly start
- 1:09:04moving through their singles.
- 1:09:06And then athletes that would finish start
- 1:09:09stretching on the ground.
- 1:09:12relaxing knowing that maybe they could do
- 1:09:16one but maybe not like it just felt
- 1:09:19like a completely different workout for
- 1:09:20whatever reason and it's not that one
- 1:09:22seventy is like overly heavy but i don't
- 1:09:26know what happened there i mean i think
- 1:09:29i mean i i only got one rep
- 1:09:31there i was hoping to get a few
- 1:09:33more um missed quite a bit in front
- 1:09:36It was difficult for me.
- 1:09:38It's a heavy weight,
- 1:09:39but it's a heavy weight after not lifting
- 1:09:40for about twenty,
- 1:09:41twenty five minutes of barbell.
- 1:09:43So you go and warm up,
- 1:09:44then you get corralled fifteen minutes
- 1:09:46before then you get to your event.
- 1:09:49You've got to do all this buy in
- 1:09:51under fatigue and you haven't touched the
- 1:09:52barbell in a very long time.
- 1:09:55So like it just felt super heavy.
- 1:09:57And like my first one,
- 1:09:58I just did a nice high pull and
- 1:10:00I was like, oh,
- 1:10:01I'm not getting underneath that.
- 1:10:04So I kind of Kyle Rolf said it
- 1:10:05was impressive.
- 1:10:06It was really high.
- 1:10:07And then, yeah, after that,
- 1:10:13I think I missed one or two more
- 1:10:14times before I finally got one.
- 1:10:15I was like, okay,
- 1:10:16I can do it like I can get
- 1:10:18in the groove of it.
- 1:10:18And I just kept missing forward a little
- 1:10:20bit.
- 1:10:20And I think that happened with a few
- 1:10:22people that they're missing.
- 1:10:25But yeah,
- 1:10:25I think a lot of females capped.
- 1:10:28versus the men.
- 1:10:29Oh yeah.
- 1:10:29There was.
- 1:10:30Thirteen women who got zero snatches.
- 1:10:33And I think there was two or three
- 1:10:34men and there was like,
- 1:10:36there's big gaps in, in strength there.
- 1:10:38Twenty four women that finished the
- 1:10:40workout and like four,
- 1:10:43I mean, it was,
- 1:10:46it seemed to me like one of those
- 1:10:47workouts, I say this every time,
- 1:10:49every time we see workouts like this,
- 1:10:50like people are like,
- 1:10:51we gotta raise the women's weight.
- 1:10:53The women, it's gotta be heavier.
- 1:10:55It seemed to me like it was tested
- 1:10:57by men and they just tried to use
- 1:10:59that like,
- 1:11:00percentage or try to make it heavier
- 1:11:03because women can lift so much more
- 1:11:06nowadays that they keep saying but i just
- 1:11:09it happens in these workouts a lot i
- 1:11:11just think it's over programmed there's
- 1:11:14Like Berggross is still only seventy
- 1:11:17percent.
- 1:11:18So I don't know what it was.
- 1:11:20You guys did the exact same number of
- 1:11:22bar muscle ups.
- 1:11:23That's way easier on men.
- 1:11:25They're better.
- 1:11:26They're just their shoulder stamina with
- 1:11:28the handstand walk right for it.
- 1:11:30It needed to be lighter.
- 1:11:31Like Berggross is still going to win,
- 1:11:34even if it's one sixty.
- 1:11:36It's like she's just going to it's going
- 1:11:37to.
- 1:11:37But other women would be able to do
- 1:11:39the workouts.
- 1:11:42As a layman spectator,
- 1:11:44I was frustrated by this workout because,
- 1:11:48one, it was long for a final.
- 1:11:53I'm just not used to that.
- 1:11:56And, two, it was like, hurry, hurry,
- 1:11:58hurry, hurry, stop.
- 1:12:02Even the strongest men had to stop,
- 1:12:05belt up, stretch out their arms.
- 1:12:07Even some of the strongest men missed.
- 1:12:08Right.
- 1:12:09He and Tudor both missed,
- 1:12:09to wrap you up.
- 1:12:11Chandler, I think, missed,
- 1:12:15and he's probably one of the strongest,
- 1:12:16too.
- 1:12:16And so it was kind of anticlimactic as
- 1:12:18a final.
- 1:12:20I loved the entire weekend.
- 1:12:22I had a blast there.
- 1:12:23I'm not here to dog on WFP,
- 1:12:26but that event of all of them just
- 1:12:29left me a little kind of like, ugh.
- 1:12:32Wish it was a little more exciting to
- 1:12:34finish off.
- 1:12:35But I have to remember,
- 1:12:37WFP is not a solo show up kind
- 1:12:41of weekend.
- 1:12:42It is a season long event.
- 1:12:45So having a finale may not make sense
- 1:12:48because...
- 1:12:50I think making it squat snatch also was
- 1:12:52a big factor versus like people could
- 1:12:53power it because that squat snatch under
- 1:12:57fatigue,
- 1:12:58you miss like your shoulders are just
- 1:13:00fatiguing.
- 1:13:01It's so easy to just...
- 1:13:02crumble.
- 1:13:04So I think that was a factor of
- 1:13:06all the misses.
- 1:13:07But yeah, I agree with the season long.
- 1:13:10Each event matters.
- 1:13:11Each event is worth like the same amount
- 1:13:12in the whole picture this year versus like
- 1:13:14double points for the finals.
- 1:13:17No, I really like the season format.
- 1:13:19And while each event is worth the same,
- 1:13:23it's not technically now worth the same
- 1:13:25because the field is now down to thirty.
- 1:13:28So the spread now finally between
- 1:13:33in the finals between placing is going to
- 1:13:36matter.
- 1:13:36Like it's,
- 1:13:37you're going to be able to separate a
- 1:13:38little bit more versus like a, a, a,
- 1:13:43a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a,
- 1:13:44a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a,
- 1:13:46a,
- 1:14:01kind of workouts that we see you had
- 1:14:04people at the bottom making noise amanda
- 1:14:08jobs making noise right she i don't think
- 1:14:12she's qualified for the finals but she
- 1:14:14sure messed up the leaderboard this
- 1:14:15weekend she may have i don't know um
- 1:14:22And that's kind of the beauty.
- 1:14:24Once you can get your head wrapped around
- 1:14:26that this is a season-long event,
- 1:14:29not a weekend, it makes way more sense.
- 1:14:34And it's really just about hitting your
- 1:14:36home runs where you can.
- 1:14:39It's just like the PGA Tour, right?
- 1:14:43Scotty Scheffler does not play every tour
- 1:14:45event, right?
- 1:14:46He picks and chooses his spots,
- 1:14:50wins those events so he can get in
- 1:14:52the points to get to the end for
- 1:14:53the competition.
- 1:14:56And once my head wrapped around that,
- 1:14:58this whole thing made way more sense.
- 1:15:01But it's kind of like what I've been
- 1:15:03asking for CrossFit to do in terms of
- 1:15:05like every test matters equally.
- 1:15:07And we've all taken the same test.
- 1:15:09So why do these ones get erased halfway
- 1:15:11through?
- 1:15:11Like, you know,
- 1:15:12just to make it to the next one.
- 1:15:14Like, I like it that...
- 1:15:16It all counts as one season.
- 1:15:17We all took, let's say, I don't know,
- 1:15:19twenty something tests.
- 1:15:21Who's the fittest with all of these like
- 1:15:23this broad test that we've had,
- 1:15:24these specialized tests,
- 1:15:25these CrossFit tests.
- 1:15:27At the end of the year,
- 1:15:28who did the best?
- 1:15:30I think that's awesome.
- 1:15:32T-Bird said,
- 1:15:33congrats on making the finals, Carolyn.
- 1:15:35Can't wait to watch you from a proud
- 1:15:37Canadian.
- 1:15:41On that last event,
- 1:15:42I said this to you and Kyle in
- 1:15:44the back.
- 1:15:47I thought it was rude that they put
- 1:15:49all the Canadians in that outside three
- 1:15:51lanes.
- 1:15:55You, Sydney,
- 1:15:56and Emily all had to be shunned to
- 1:15:58the outside for the final event.
- 1:16:01And for the overall,
- 1:16:02we have four Canadians back-to-back at the
- 1:16:07cut line.
- 1:16:07We have me, Sydney, Emily, and Chevrie.
- 1:16:11All four of us are back-to-back Canadians
- 1:16:15fighting for the spots.
- 1:16:18I'm on the outside looking in.
- 1:16:20Amanda Jobs is sitting right behind you.
- 1:16:23Oh, wow.
- 1:16:26I mean,
- 1:16:26she got almost two hundred points just off
- 1:16:29of the run and then also was,
- 1:16:31I think, a top three on the swim.
- 1:16:34You're almost getting two hundred points
- 1:16:36there.
- 1:16:36Just with that,
- 1:16:37she could basically take the last for
- 1:16:38every other event and she's
- 1:16:40make it through that you're just not
- 1:16:42getting those points like it's rare to win
- 1:16:43an event.
- 1:16:44So if you get to like that,
- 1:16:44you're you're you're set.
- 1:16:49The one the one comment I made to
- 1:16:51Patrick yesterday was, you know,
- 1:16:53they did that Red Bull leader lane.
- 1:17:00If your focus is the season and not
- 1:17:02the weekend,
- 1:17:04then that should go to the tour leader,
- 1:17:07not the weekend leader.
- 1:17:12you have to stop confusing the narrative
- 1:17:18with, because you can't be both.
- 1:17:20You can't be a weekend.
- 1:17:22But they give money for both.
- 1:17:26The PGA Tour does that for each thing,
- 1:17:29but you still understand that there's like
- 1:17:31a bigger competition.
- 1:17:33And because they're so different than what
- 1:17:35CrossFit is,
- 1:17:37I think they need to accentuate the season
- 1:17:41standings at the end of the event as
- 1:17:43opposed to – it doesn't mean you don't
- 1:17:45pay out the people who won the event
- 1:17:48or give them a trophy or whatever for
- 1:17:51winning this tour stop.
- 1:17:53but you should highlight like who the tour
- 1:17:55podium is at this point and these are
- 1:17:58their points going into the final they i
- 1:18:02mean they did the top thirty they
- 1:18:03announced all that which is important like
- 1:18:06that was right but it didn't have the
- 1:18:08emphasis i'm saying it should that's all
- 1:18:14if that's what your your goal is is
- 1:18:17to get people to focus on the season
- 1:18:20then stop being crossfit or stop being
- 1:18:24wadapalooza and doing a podium for that
- 1:18:27weekend so still pay it out still the
- 1:18:35sign pros that didn't show up to the
- 1:18:37first one they don't they only got like
- 1:18:42entry into one and two they don't get
- 1:18:43entry into Copenhagen right that's correct
- 1:18:45exactly so I think that's a change from
- 1:18:47last year good last year they
- 1:18:49automatically got entered into the finals
- 1:18:52and every two or stop this year they
- 1:18:54had to at least accumulate enough points
- 1:18:56to qualify for the finals which I like
- 1:18:58because there's a couple that didn't do
- 1:19:00the season I think Danny and Annika didn't
- 1:19:02end up doing any of them on the
- 1:19:03female side maybe there's someone else I
- 1:19:05think but so they don't go to the
- 1:19:07finals it's the
- 1:19:09like Colton missed out because he didn't
- 1:19:11go to the first event.
- 1:19:14I'm pumped for him, but I mean,
- 1:19:15it makes perfect sense.
- 1:19:16Like same with, uh, Leahy just missed,
- 1:19:19just missed out, but you know,
- 1:19:21with injuries and sometimes people last
- 1:19:24year, like didn't do WFP at the finals.
- 1:19:28Like you never know,
- 1:19:28you may as well continue to get ready.
- 1:19:32Um,
- 1:19:33I think people are missing my point.
- 1:19:35It's not that they didn't say it.
- 1:19:37They were very good about saying the tour
- 1:19:39standings.
- 1:19:41I think that if that's what you want
- 1:19:43your customer to focus on,
- 1:19:45you need to treat it like it's the
- 1:19:47main thing.
- 1:19:50Yeah.
- 1:19:51That's all.
- 1:19:53I think Leahy will go because Quinn is
- 1:19:55sitting fifth.
- 1:19:55Go ahead, Quinn.
- 1:19:57Yeah.
- 1:20:01We don't know the damage on Quinn yet.
- 1:20:03He was just getting imaging, you know,
- 1:20:06and apparently if you follow his
- 1:20:07Instagram, they found a dog in him.
- 1:20:10Um, so he said,
- 1:20:14he said he needs to see a specialist
- 1:20:15now.
- 1:20:15Okay.
- 1:20:20At least he can laugh at his own
- 1:20:23situation, which is pretty cool.
- 1:20:29was the scariest the the pat thing was
- 1:20:32more of an unknown for me because it
- 1:20:33was clear across the floor the quinn thing
- 1:20:35when the one spotter couldn't lift his her
- 1:20:37side of the the barbell that freaked me
- 1:20:40out but jason ainsley was pretty damn
- 1:20:42quick to get over there and get it
- 1:20:44up off of him i mean it never
- 1:20:46was on him and regardless the straps were
- 1:20:49there if it's just a bad look with
- 1:20:53a spotter going
- 1:21:01It was almost like a double spotting.
- 1:21:04You had the people and you had the
- 1:21:06strap.
- 1:21:08Jason Ainsley did the old-fashioned up
- 1:21:10over the top and just lifted it off
- 1:21:12himself.
- 1:21:15It was pretty impressive since he's not an
- 1:21:17athlete.
- 1:21:17He's the president of the company.
- 1:21:18I'm not only the president, I'm a member.
- 1:21:25Um, but yeah, it was a great weekend.
- 1:21:27Any overall thoughts you guys have before
- 1:21:29we shut her down?
- 1:21:33I hope more spectators come enjoy the show
- 1:21:37and enjoy the amenities and experience it.
- 1:21:40It's cool to see the lights.
- 1:21:44Um, it's just exciting.
- 1:21:46Yeah.
- 1:21:46I thought that, you know,
- 1:21:47we get treated very well there.
- 1:21:48We get like free PT when we're there,
- 1:21:50they had ten tables, I think,
- 1:21:53or even more.
- 1:21:54of people to work on us at any
- 1:21:56point in the day, uh,
- 1:21:57that you can make appointments with them.
- 1:21:59They had snacks for us.
- 1:22:02Super well organized.
- 1:22:04Um, the floor looks great.
- 1:22:05Everything is communication.
- 1:22:07Everything is awesome.
- 1:22:09Just need the fans there to support,
- 1:22:11to continue to support.
- 1:22:13Um, yeah,
- 1:22:14I think they're doing a good job.
- 1:22:15I just hope that they're able to sustain
- 1:22:17that.
- 1:22:19It has got to be the best in-person
- 1:22:21fan experience.
- 1:22:26other than maybe wadapalooza miami and i
- 1:22:29and well and they're wadapalooza miami you
- 1:22:32weren't guaranteed a place to sit um but
- 1:22:35they had workouts for the spectators all
- 1:22:38weekend long multiple options every day
- 1:22:42they had the cornhole they had the
- 1:22:47Throw the football.
- 1:22:47They had all that kind of stuff.
- 1:22:49It was very fan friendly.
- 1:22:51And in addition to that,
- 1:22:53it felt like a big deal.
- 1:22:55The lights, the smoke,
- 1:22:57everything made it feel like you were at
- 1:22:59a major competition.
- 1:23:01Yeah, the media, the pictures.
- 1:23:03I got so many pictures this weekend.
- 1:23:05Like at the Masters CrossFit Games,
- 1:23:06I got one picture, I think.
- 1:23:08I didn't even know that like people didn't
- 1:23:09even know that I think that I competed.
- 1:23:11I got like all these pictures sent to
- 1:23:12me this weekend.
- 1:23:13I got the post.
- 1:23:13I got zero besides what Scott took.
- 1:23:14So at least somebody took a picture of
- 1:23:16you.
- 1:23:20I have pictures of you.
- 1:23:22I just am.
- 1:23:23I've been so busy since we got home
- 1:23:24from the games that I have had no
- 1:23:26edit time at all.
- 1:23:28I've learned that if I want to get
- 1:23:29stuff out,
- 1:23:30I need to do it while I'm there.
- 1:23:31Yeah.
- 1:23:33If I wait till I get home,
- 1:23:35like life just hits you as soon as
- 1:23:36you get in the door.
- 1:23:40so i'll i'll send you some over for
- 1:23:42the game from the game scanner uh next
- 1:23:45up is what socal oh i got all
- 1:23:50my videos uh from rogue approved and i
- 1:23:54know that emma tall and jennifer muir as
- 1:23:57well had all of theirs but we're just
- 1:23:59waiting if anyone else gets penalties
- 1:24:01I can get bumped out of the third
- 1:24:04position because if it's so close at the
- 1:24:07top and if it's in between me and
- 1:24:09Kyra, for instance, she wins a tiebreaker.
- 1:24:11So I am waiting on that.
- 1:24:13I'm hoping to hear this week of the
- 1:24:16leaderboard being finalized.
- 1:24:17I don't know how long,
- 1:24:17but I'm assuming it'll be by the end
- 1:24:20of this week.
- 1:24:21So.
- 1:24:25I do want to pull this up real
- 1:24:26quick.
- 1:24:27Final thoughts.
- 1:24:28Carolyn was very impressive as always.
- 1:24:29Jamie is next for WFP.
- 1:24:32There is talk about adding some masters to
- 1:24:35this.
- 1:24:35They have masters.
- 1:24:38Right.
- 1:24:39But I think that that's just dipping their
- 1:24:41toe in the water and maybe moving to
- 1:24:45a bigger thing.
- 1:24:46We just don't know any details about that.
- 1:24:50I would have made it last year if
- 1:24:51I would have weighed my weight.
- 1:24:54To what?
- 1:24:54To the main field.
- 1:24:57They do it like Rogue.
- 1:25:00Yes.
- 1:25:02It just wasn't clear to me.
- 1:25:03Gotta read the rules.
- 1:25:07I hope everyone has the rules for Rogue.
- 1:25:09It wasn't on the page that I print
- 1:25:12for the workout.
- 1:25:13It was on a front page.
- 1:25:15I need to move to Lansing,
- 1:25:17Michigan and just be her reader.
- 1:25:20also i was leaving that week for spring
- 1:25:23break for my that was last year when
- 1:25:25my son was a senior or well i
- 1:25:28guess it would have been more than last
- 1:25:30year right i don't know yeah i just
- 1:25:34didn't i was rough i had a blast
- 1:25:36this weekend i saw a wolf and uh
- 1:25:42in our backyard at the airbnb which was
- 1:25:45the first time in my fifty six years
- 1:25:46i've seen a wolf in the wild
- 1:25:49And it will forever be a wolf now.
- 1:25:54And I loved hanging out with my little
- 1:25:56sister, Jamie,
- 1:25:56and fighting with her all weekend.
- 1:26:03Always fighting.
- 1:26:04But that's what sports is about.
- 1:26:07And good-natured,
- 1:26:08fun fighting over what you see on a
- 1:26:11sports floor is what it's all about.
- 1:26:15It makes it more exciting.
- 1:26:18The funniest part is on Sunday,
- 1:26:21Jamie comes up to me and says,
- 1:26:22this is a good one for Kyra.
- 1:26:24And then Kyra.
- 1:26:25I said it should be.
- 1:26:26I said this should be.
- 1:26:28And then she bombed it,
- 1:26:29and I was like, oh, my gosh.
- 1:26:31Last event.
- 1:26:32I thought the squat snatches would be good
- 1:26:33for her.
- 1:26:34That should be good for her.
- 1:26:36She missed a bunch, though.
- 1:26:38I mean, she finished.
- 1:26:39She still finished the workout,
- 1:26:41but it was just not.
- 1:26:42I'm saying bombed in good-natured humor
- 1:26:44here because Jamie walked over and said,
- 1:26:47oh,
- 1:26:47so Kyra's going to be good at this.
- 1:26:50And she was like,
- 1:26:50I guess I was wrong.
- 1:26:52yeah under the shoulder fatigue making it
- 1:26:54be a squat snatch like i think that
- 1:26:55played a factor especially for the females
- 1:26:56i don't know the point is jamie said
- 1:27:00i was wrong i don't think i've ever
- 1:27:02heard her utter those words before in my
- 1:27:04life and i was you admit you're wrong
