Thursday Night CrossFit Talk Live from the Masters CrossFit Games · Clydesdale Media Podcast

• 0:32
  to a special edition of
• 0:33
  Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
• 0:36
  We're here on a Thursday
• 0:37
  night because I am live in Birmingham,
• 0:40
  Alabama,
• 0:41
  and we are going to talk about
• 0:44
  the Masters CrossFit Games
• 0:45
  that launched today with
• 0:48
  three events for athletes
• 0:49
  up to fifty-five, fifty-four,
• 0:52
  and fifty-five to
• 0:53
  sixty-five plus did two events today.
• 0:58
  So with that, what's going on Carolyn?
• 1:02
  I had my first day back at work today.
• 1:04
  Not with the students, but first day back.
• 1:06
  So it's been like catching
• 1:09
  up on the Masters games as
• 1:10
  soon as I got home.
• 1:12
  Trying to just fast forward
• 1:13
  through everything.
• 1:15
  Was the deadlift one on YouTube?
• 1:18
  I couldn't find that one.
• 1:20
  So I believe that because
• 1:21
  most of that occurred outdoors,
• 1:24
  they did not stream it.
• 1:26
  That's what I heard.
• 1:26
  Okay.
• 1:27
  Again, I was there,
• 1:28
  so I didn't really watch
• 1:30
  the stream at all today.
• 1:33
  But before we dive into that real quick,
• 1:35
  I saw an announcement on
• 1:37
  your Instagram that Crash made.
• 1:41
  Do you want to share with everybody?
• 1:44
  I got an invite to crash
• 1:47
  that's in October.
• 1:48
  So looking forward to
• 1:51
  testing my fitness there.
• 1:52
  There's some great athletes.
• 1:53
  I'm sure that will get released soon.
• 1:55
  I've already seen two of
• 1:56
  them get released.
• 1:59
  Plus the field that
• 2:00
  qualified through the qualifier.
• 2:01
  So looking forward to that
• 2:03
  as well as getting ready
• 2:04
  for NorCal next week.
• 2:06
  How excited are you?
• 2:08
  Did you see the complex of,
• 2:11
  I saw what you sent me and
• 2:14
  it looks insane.
• 2:15
  It's an audition for the LA
• 2:18
  gymnastics Olympics.
• 2:19
  It's, it's a routine.
• 2:23
  I think I'm going to go like
• 2:23
  this before I go and after.
• 2:25
  And so I showed Ellie Hiller,
• 2:29
  a semifinal athlete here.
• 2:31
  She's like that people are
• 2:33
  going to fall off the bar.
• 2:37
  so dumb the front roll is
• 2:38
  where she's like that gets
• 2:41
  really crazy yeah it's very
• 2:43
  technical I don't have it
• 2:44
  yet I need to I've been
• 2:45
  just looking at youtube
• 2:46
  videos for it so I'll play
• 2:49
  around with it this weekend
• 2:51
  but I mean what are we
• 2:54
  doing here yeah so I uh I'm
• 2:58
  working with jonathan
• 2:58
  ortega this weekend here um
• 3:02
  at Masters Games,
• 3:04
  he's gonna be at NorCal shooting.
• 3:07
  So I said, hey,
• 3:08
  can you mind getting a
• 3:09
  couple shots of my friend
• 3:10
  while she's out on the floor?
• 3:12
  So hopefully we'll get some
• 3:14
  stuff for you that way.
• 3:18
  But yeah, I'm excited for Crash.
• 3:21
  JR always puts on a show
• 3:22
  with his programming and
• 3:25
  really finds elements to
• 3:26
  show off the athletes.
• 3:28
  Absolutely.
• 3:29
  That's what drew me in last year,
• 3:31
  the programming, the events.
• 3:33
  It's unlike any of the
• 3:35
  events that we see really
• 3:36
  in the offseason besides
• 3:37
  maybe Rogue that does a
• 3:38
  really good job with the
• 3:40
  implements and stuff like that.
• 3:42
  I think he gets very creative,
• 3:43
  but not gimmicky.
• 3:46
  not doing a circus trick um
• 3:49
  or a routine but it's uh
• 3:51
  it's well done it's very
• 3:53
  organized uh I saw it and I
• 3:55
  was jealous that I wasn't
• 3:57
  there last year so I'm
• 3:58
  super excited to have the
• 4:00
  opportunity to go on the
• 4:00
  floor this year yeah I'm
• 4:03
  excited to see you there I
• 4:05
  it's just so well run and
• 4:07
  talking to my wife about
• 4:08
  maybe driving down because
• 4:09
  she has family in that area
• 4:11
  So we may make it a long
• 4:13
  weekend and pop in at least
• 4:15
  for a day to check it out.
• 4:18
  It's Canadian Thanksgiving
• 4:19
  for me that weekend.
• 4:21
  So that stresses me out less
• 4:23
  because I mean, Thanksgiving,
• 4:25
  like it's not as big of a deal, I guess,
• 4:26
  in my family or sometimes
• 4:28
  even in our country versus the US.
• 4:31
  But to me, it's like, oh, great.
• 4:32
  I don't have to take an
• 4:33
  extra day off of work on the Monday.
• 4:36
  Um,
• 4:37
  so it's less stressful that it's a
• 4:39
  three day weekend.
• 4:41
  Like I get the, just the Monday off.
• 4:43
  I don't get the Friday off,
• 4:44
  but I'll have to take the
• 4:45
  Thursday and Friday off,
• 4:46
  but it's just less
• 4:47
  stressful than taking three
• 4:49
  days off for instance.
• 4:52
  Um, I know as a teacher,
• 4:53
  those days are very
• 4:54
  valuable for you guys.
• 4:55
  They are.
• 4:55
  I, I absolutely hate missing.
• 4:58
  So one last thing before we
• 4:59
  jump into masters our friend,
• 5:03
  Holly Dugan is in the chat.
• 5:04
  I got to meet her in person
• 5:07
  for the first time ever this morning.
• 5:11
  And it was awesome.
• 5:13
  She is so cool.
• 5:15
  And the stuff she's putting out today,
• 5:19
  when you think about all
• 5:20
  the divisions and all in
• 5:21
  both male and female,
• 5:23
  and they have a team
• 5:26
  competition going on and
• 5:27
  she's covering that.
• 5:29
  Everything she put out is so
• 5:30
  freaking amazing.
• 5:32
  And the people at CrossFit
• 5:33
  HQ even commented about her stuff.
• 5:36
  Well,
• 5:36
  I think people have been sharing too.
• 5:39
  Yeah.
• 5:39
  I've been seeing a lot.
• 5:41
  And so shareable.
• 5:42
  Very easy.
• 5:44
  Competition organizers would
• 5:46
  see the value in someone like her.
• 5:48
  Absolutely.
• 5:50
  I don't know how you can't
• 5:51
  see the value in it.
• 5:52
  As an athlete,
• 5:53
  it's easy to repost and to
• 5:55
  send to your family or your
• 5:55
  friends and whatnot.
• 5:58
  Great job, Holly.
• 5:59
  Yeah.
• 6:00
  Yeah,
• 6:00
  I tried to get her Wi-Fi today and
• 6:02
  couldn't from the organizers.
• 6:06
  So she's on a hotspot doing all that.
• 6:08
  Wow.
• 6:11
  Yeah.
• 6:12
  Silly.
• 6:13
  But there was a big event today.
• 6:16
  It was three floors.
• 6:19
  It was four hundred fifty
• 6:20
  athletes and it was utter craziness,
• 6:25
  but seemed to be pretty controlled.
• 6:30
  there live at the event.
• 6:33
  And it kicked off this
• 6:33
  morning with the deadlift run.
• 6:36
  or run deadlift,
• 6:37
  however you want to put that.
• 6:41
  They ran out of the bay door
• 6:43
  in the back of the convention center,
• 6:47
  six hundred meters down to
• 6:49
  a cobblestone road,
• 6:51
  came back and in and did
• 6:54
  their deadlifts and then
• 6:54
  back out they went.
• 6:56
  And it was a really cool
• 6:58
  event to see in person.
• 7:00
  Was it six hundred meters?
• 7:02
  Like, do we have accuracy on that?
• 7:04
  Uh, nobody's complaining that it wasn't.
• 7:06
  Okay.
• 7:07
  Um, so I'd say that's a good sign.
• 7:10
  Were most athletes unbroken
• 7:11
  on the deadlift and it
• 7:12
  became a running workout.
• 7:14
  Very few were unbroken on
• 7:15
  the deadlift on the last set.
• 7:18
  Um, you know,
• 7:19
  Corey's in the chat saying
• 7:20
  Jamie's killing it.
• 7:22
  Jamie was in second place
• 7:23
  coming in after the last run.
• 7:26
  And then she got to her bar,
• 7:29
  got two reps before the
• 7:30
  other person and never put the bar down.
• 7:35
  And when the girl saw her going unbroken,
• 7:38
  she broke.
• 7:39
  Like it broke her.
• 7:40
  And then Jamie won by nine seconds.
• 7:43
  So it altered everything.
• 7:45
  That's deflating when you
• 7:46
  see someone just holding on.
• 7:47
  You're struggling and you're like,
• 7:49
  just put the bar down.
• 7:50
  You see them keep going.
• 7:51
  You're like, oh, okay.
• 7:53
  Yeah.
• 7:53
  So it's one of those where
• 7:55
  Jamie was furthest away from the exit.
• 7:59
  kind of at the beginning so
• 8:00
  at the beginning she was
• 8:02
  she had to like hustle to
• 8:03
  get through the traffic and
• 8:05
  then work her way and then
• 8:07
  every round she reeled more
• 8:08
  people in and more people
• 8:10
  in and then at the in the
• 8:12
  last round her entrance was
• 8:16
  the closest so she was able
• 8:18
  to get on that bar get the
• 8:19
  rep started and that's
• 8:21
  where she won the event
• 8:23
  which is pretty awesome
• 8:25
  And what was the time of that event?
• 8:28
  Because I don't think people
• 8:29
  were even close to the time cap.
• 8:32
  No, no.
• 8:33
  I want to say Tristan's in there.
• 8:36
  Tristan, I think it was eight something.
• 8:40
  No, not for that minute.
• 8:42
  It would be like,
• 8:43
  I think it was ten or
• 8:44
  eleven minutes if I have to
• 8:45
  go to the competition corner.
• 8:46
  I got so much stuff in my head right now,
• 8:48
  Carolyn.
• 8:49
  I think it was ten or eleven minutes.
• 8:50
  I'm sure Tristan knows.
• 8:51
  But...
• 8:53
  See,
• 8:54
  that's the one thing that's missing
• 8:55
  from the comp is if that
• 8:57
  was their long event, you know,
• 9:01
  the rest of the events,
• 9:02
  we can talk about it after,
• 9:04
  but they are going to be sub-ten minutes.
• 9:08
  So the men were ten to eleven minutes.
• 9:12
  What were the women on that one?
• 9:14
  I'm trying to get to them.
• 9:18
  Women.
• 9:19
  So Jamie did it.
• 9:21
  Jamie won that event.
• 9:23
  In, no, she won that event in so,
• 9:33
  so that was not eight, two minutes.
• 9:37
  Yeah.
• 9:41
  Yeah.
• 9:41
  Just,
• 9:41
  it just leaves no workout above
• 9:43
  twelve minutes all weekend.
• 9:46
  Yeah.
• 9:46
  Which is a big hole in the programming.
• 9:50
  Yeah.
• 9:50
  And they actually started.
• 9:52
  I like most of the events.
• 9:53
  I don't,
• 9:54
  we can talk about the overhead squat one,
• 9:56
  which was a complete shit show.
• 9:58
  I, we called it before.
• 10:00
  I absolutely hated that event to watch.
• 10:03
  Um, way too,
• 10:05
  like way too much pressure on the judges,
• 10:06
  but most of the other ones
• 10:08
  are like CrossFitty, but which I like,
• 10:10
  I like all of them,
• 10:12
  but they're missing that longer event.
• 10:17
  Yeah, the overhead squat one,
• 10:19
  I wasn't even there.
• 10:21
  So my friend Rudy went.
• 10:23
  I wasn't there to get to see it.
• 10:25
  I just was kind of in the back.
• 10:27
  And everybody was coming
• 10:28
  back saying he got screwed.
• 10:32
  Because he got no reps nonstop.
• 10:37
  And that's valuable reps and
• 10:39
  time in that workout.
• 10:43
  That workout's a minute and
• 10:46
  just sub two for the ones
• 10:48
  that are racing.
• 10:50
  You can't get a no rep.
• 10:53
  The lunges look terrible.
• 10:54
  People were hunched over.
• 10:55
  They weren't even completing
• 10:57
  their lunges at the end of the line.
• 10:59
  They weren't fully standing
• 11:00
  up before dropping them.
• 11:00
  They're just dropping them,
• 11:02
  running to their barbells.
• 11:06
  It just put a lot of
• 11:07
  pressure on the judges
• 11:10
  And it just,
• 11:11
  it's so much pressure on them.
• 11:12
  And it's not consistent lane to lane.
• 11:14
  I talked to my friend, Jasmine Sheehan,
• 11:18
  and she had the same issue too.
• 11:20
  Like she was getting no rep,
• 11:23
  but other lanes are just flying through.
• 11:27
  And it's just like, as an athlete,
• 11:29
  it's frustrating because I
• 11:30
  feel like we're not testing
• 11:31
  fitness at that point.
• 11:32
  We're just testing what we
• 11:33
  can flirt the line with.
• 11:35
  And it's not the athlete's fault.
• 11:36
  You kind of go with what
• 11:37
  your judge is allowing.
• 11:40
  Right.
• 11:40
  Like you're going,
• 11:43
  you're riding that line of, okay,
• 11:45
  what's it going to be with this judge?
• 11:48
  And you kind of adjust right
• 11:49
  away once you get a no rep.
• 11:50
  But if you're just, if you're letting,
• 11:52
  if they're letting you do it,
• 11:53
  then you just kind of do it.
• 11:56
  So I talked to an athlete in the, I think,
• 11:59
  fifty to fifty five, fifty four years.
• 12:02
  And I said, like,
• 12:03
  I've talked to a lot of
• 12:04
  people that are getting no reps.
• 12:05
  He goes, if you're not getting no reps,
• 12:07
  you're not doing what you need to do.
• 12:08
  Cause you have to find out
• 12:09
  where the line is.
• 12:13
  But like those, the, the,
• 12:14
  the higher up you go, the speed of the,
• 12:17
  of the movement is
• 12:18
  obviously not what we're
• 12:19
  seeing at like the thirty five,
• 12:21
  the early forties and stuff.
• 12:22
  Um, but I understand that, that comment,
• 12:26
  it is, you're,
• 12:27
  you're trying to find that line.
• 12:30
  Yeah.
• 12:31
  And that's what he said.
• 12:31
  Like,
• 12:32
  I'm going to I'm going to get no rep
• 12:33
  trying to find the line.
• 12:36
  Because in this event, you have to.
• 12:39
  And this is someone that's
• 12:40
  trying to win his age group.
• 12:41
  Absolutely.
• 12:43
  And and there's no room for error.
• 12:48
  And what stinks is it was
• 12:50
  kind of a fun it was a fun event to watch,
• 12:53
  minus all of that crap.
• 12:56
  It's a shame we can't get it
• 12:58
  to a place where we get
• 13:00
  consistent calls because it
• 13:03
  was a fun race to watch.
• 13:08
  Because it's so fast, it's fun to watch.
• 13:11
  Because people are finishing
• 13:12
  within seconds of each other,
• 13:14
  it's fun to watch.
• 13:17
  But I hate it.
• 13:19
  As a spectator that like does the sport,
• 13:21
  obviously like as, as you know,
• 13:23
  us athletes,
• 13:24
  you're just like looking at
• 13:26
  the hip extension and
• 13:27
  they're not finishing them.
• 13:28
  And you're like, geez,
• 13:30
  I would hate to be on the
• 13:31
  floor right now and
• 13:32
  watching some of the
• 13:33
  movements and being like, can I like,
• 13:36
  where's that line?
• 13:37
  And just seeing other athletes being like,
• 13:40
  like, I just know I was,
• 13:41
  I was frustrated watching,
• 13:43
  even though it's exciting
• 13:44
  to see who's going to finish and,
• 13:47
  I just don't know.
• 13:49
  I didn't like that one.
• 13:51
  But that's the one workout
• 13:52
  of the weekend I didn't like prior.
• 13:54
  Yeah.
• 13:56
  Yeah, you said that this would happen,
• 13:57
  and it did.
• 13:59
  It's too fast.
• 13:59
  It's too light.
• 14:01
  Everything was light and not.
• 14:04
  Yeah.
• 14:07
  So the other event today was
• 14:10
  the rope climb sandbag to
• 14:12
  shoulder handstand walk event.
• 14:17
  I liked the event as it went off.
• 14:21
  I didn't like the way the
• 14:22
  lines were on the floor
• 14:25
  because it was confusing to
• 14:26
  know what was the finish
• 14:27
  line for the handstand walk.
• 14:30
  They should have had a
• 14:31
  different color on each end of it.
• 14:35
  Yeah.
• 14:35
  A lot of people came down
• 14:36
  and walked too early.
• 14:38
  I saw that the entire day.
• 14:41
  of people coming down where
• 14:43
  that's where it says the
• 14:44
  number like of your lane or
• 14:46
  eight ten or whatever um
• 14:49
  yeah anytime you start and
• 14:50
  finish a section it should
• 14:51
  always be a different color
• 14:53
  at semi-finals we had three
• 14:55
  different sections of our
• 14:57
  handstand walk I don't know
• 14:58
  if you remember but it was
• 14:59
  like I don't know certain
• 15:00
  amount of feet a little bit
• 15:02
  longer and then finally all
• 15:03
  the way through and each
• 15:05
  each one of those sections
• 15:07
  finished with a different
• 15:07
  color so you're like okay you're going to
• 15:10
  the yellow one for round one.
• 15:11
  Okay.
• 15:11
  Now you're going to, I don't know,
• 15:13
  red for round two and
• 15:14
  you're going wherever for round three.
• 15:17
  When you're upside down,
• 15:20
  like that's what you're,
• 15:21
  you're searching for that, right?
• 15:23
  That color.
• 15:24
  If everything's just that same color line,
• 15:26
  you're like, okay, wait, one section, two,
• 15:27
  like you're,
• 15:28
  you're having to count in your head.
• 15:29
  Sometimes as you're tired, um,
• 15:31
  It's harder to do.
• 15:33
  Sometimes judges are nice and they're like,
• 15:35
  hey, one more, one more.
• 15:37
  And then sometimes a judge
• 15:38
  says nothing and doesn't help you.
• 15:41
  And then you come down and you're like,
• 15:42
  ah.
• 15:43
  There we are again.
• 15:45
  Not consistent.
• 15:46
  Some people get the advantage.
• 15:48
  Some people don't.
• 15:49
  Yep.
• 15:50
  Which sucks.
• 15:51
  Yep.
• 15:52
  The only other thing I'll
• 15:53
  say about that one,
• 15:54
  it was a pet peeve one for me,
• 15:56
  is the finish line should
• 15:58
  have been in the middle of the field.
• 16:00
  They had people on both
• 16:01
  sides of the field.
• 16:03
  It should have finished in the middle,
• 16:04
  crossing a finish line.
• 16:06
  Done with the handstand, turn,
• 16:08
  run to the middle.
• 16:10
  I guess, would they run into each other?
• 16:13
  I don't think they would.
• 16:15
  It's a pretty big gap in the middle.
• 16:18
  But when you just come down
• 16:20
  from your handstand and you're done,
• 16:21
  it's hard to tell if you're done or not.
• 16:24
  And again, a no finish line finish.
• 16:28
  No finish line finish.
• 16:29
  And is it a stopwatch?
• 16:33
  It is a stop.
• 16:33
  There is no chip timing.
• 16:37
  Like.
• 16:40
  we want to be professional.
• 16:41
  Like you can't have a stopwatch for this.
• 16:44
  It's especially when people
• 16:45
  are finishing within
• 16:46
  seconds of each other on that,
• 16:48
  that one workout, even the hands,
• 16:50
  like there's still people
• 16:52
  finishing really close to each other.
• 16:53
  And it's like,
• 16:54
  are they going to stop the
• 16:55
  watch when your hands are crossed?
• 16:57
  When your feet come down
• 16:58
  from the handstand?
• 16:58
  Like there's just so many factors.
• 17:00
  There's the human just speed
• 17:02
  of the stopwatch.
• 17:04
  Um, it's not consistent.
• 17:05
  And when you're talking about seconds,
• 17:07
  it makes a difference, right?
• 17:11
  Yeah.
• 17:11
  Holly says there are a few
• 17:13
  finishes that are just a
• 17:14
  couple of milliseconds different.
• 17:17
  And if you're doing it by hand timing,
• 17:20
  who knows how accurate that is?
• 17:23
  Yeah.
• 17:25
  Even the sandbag, the shoulder,
• 17:27
  some of them were a little bit in front,
• 17:29
  especially the ones that
• 17:30
  were going like touch and go,
• 17:31
  like they weren't fully here.
• 17:35
  I felt some of that was a little bit.
• 17:38
  off is the real judging us
• 17:39
  on that they made them come
• 17:41
  like all the way up yeah
• 17:43
  they were pretty strict
• 17:44
  where I was watching and
• 17:47
  again I'm back in the
• 17:48
  warm-up area so I'm not
• 17:49
  seeing everything yeah so I
• 17:51
  like I've been watching it
• 17:52
  on my tv here and like
• 17:54
  there's still some people
• 17:55
  here and some people are
• 17:55
  having to open up hand
• 17:56
  release obviously but like
• 17:58
  the positioning on that is
• 18:01
  Not consistent.
• 18:03
  Are the ropes twelve feet?
• 18:04
  Is that what I heard on the
• 18:05
  like the broadcast?
• 18:06
  Or is that just for the higher divisions?
• 18:08
  Because it looks like the
• 18:09
  same rig from semifinals, which the very,
• 18:12
  very top beam would be fifteen.
• 18:14
  The one underneath is
• 18:15
  technically like fourteen that you touch.
• 18:17
  It's a fifteen foot,
• 18:19
  but they're calling it
• 18:20
  twelve foot rope for the
• 18:22
  older for the older divisions.
• 18:24
  There's a line.
• 18:26
  OK,
• 18:27
  so I was having this discussion with my
• 18:30
  friend Steph Roy that she was saying, no,
• 18:33
  it's twelve feet.
• 18:33
  And I was like,
• 18:34
  it looks like the same rig as semis,
• 18:36
  which is fifteen to the top
• 18:37
  and fourteen to.
• 18:39
  Yeah.
• 18:40
  OK, that's what I was thinking.
• 18:43
  It's fifteen to the top.
• 18:45
  I mean, I've watched Jamie enough.
• 18:46
  She's doing two full on
• 18:48
  pools to get up there,
• 18:49
  which is what she does for fifteen.
• 18:50
  Yeah, I figured.
• 18:56
  And I know the older
• 18:57
  divisions were not going to the top.
• 19:00
  That's what I thought was
• 19:00
  twelve was twelve foot was
• 19:02
  the because I could see
• 19:03
  that one tape line.
• 19:04
  It's the same one that we
• 19:05
  did the legless the seated
• 19:07
  legless at semifinals,
• 19:09
  which was to the twelve feet there.
• 19:11
  It's that same color.
• 19:12
  So that's why I figured that
• 19:14
  that was a twelve foot
• 19:15
  marker and the beam is fourteen.
• 19:20
  So there's a lot of people
• 19:22
  in the chat talking about
• 19:23
  that there's a lot on and
• 19:25
  they're still going over
• 19:26
  there at the convention center.
• 19:28
  Yeah, I have it all right now here.
• 19:30
  We had to make the choice to
• 19:31
  go a little bit earlier tonight.
• 19:33
  Probably do that the next couple nights.
• 19:36
  The way we're breaking it up
• 19:37
  for a team covering the
• 19:38
  behind the scenes is I'm
• 19:40
  covering the morning shift.
• 19:42
  at least covering the evening shift.
• 19:44
  And then we're kind of double,
• 19:45
  double dutying in the middle.
• 19:47
  Um, but just so that we're not there for,
• 19:50
  for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for,
• 19:51
  for, for, for, for, for, for, for,
• 19:52
  hours a day, uh,
• 19:52
  and able to at least do a show.
• 19:54
  And then like,
• 19:55
  I'll be up at six and back
• 19:56
  over there in the morning, uh,
• 19:59
  catching them as they're
• 20:00
  warming up for the first event.
• 20:02
  Uh, so that's,
• 20:03
  that's the reason we're on now.
• 20:05
  Yeah.
• 20:06
  Right now it's the, uh,
• 20:08
  thirty-fifths to thirty-nines,
• 20:10
  I think is my friend, uh,
• 20:13
  from Canada is competing.
• 20:16
  Yeah.
• 20:16
  Paul Trombley's there.
• 20:18
  And who else?
• 20:21
  His partner, Adam.
• 20:31
  I'll go there.
• 20:33
  There's some good athletes.
• 20:35
  It's been cool looking at
• 20:36
  all the divisions all day
• 20:39
  and just seeing a lot of
• 20:41
  athletes that you've seen
• 20:42
  over the years at
• 20:43
  semifinals or old games
• 20:44
  athletes years ago.
• 20:45
  Not their old, but older games athletes.
• 20:48
  Yeah.
• 20:48
  Craig Kinney is who I was thinking of.
• 20:50
  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 20:53
  Craig Kinney.
• 20:57
  No, it's been really...
• 21:00
  Yeah,
• 21:00
  it just brings back memories on
• 21:02
  different athletes just to
• 21:04
  see the longevity of their
• 21:06
  careers and where they're at now.
• 21:09
  Yeah, it's cool to watch.
• 21:11
  Tomorrow the teenagers start,
• 21:13
  so I feel like I'll be
• 21:15
  watching a little bit of everyone.
• 21:17
  It's all these people I've
• 21:18
  watched for years,
• 21:20
  and they're the same
• 21:20
  athlete they were ten years ago.
• 21:23
  Paul Tremblay is still strong,
• 21:26
  and running is not his jive.
• 21:29
  That's okay.
• 21:31
  You know, it's funny.
• 21:32
  But Will Morad's in there too.
• 21:35
  Yep.
• 21:36
  He came back from that injury at semis,
• 21:39
  sitting in second place
• 21:41
  behind Mitch Wagner.
• 21:43
  Yep.
• 21:44
  I know that name too.
• 21:45
  Like it's all names that
• 21:47
  have been around semifinals, like games,
• 21:51
  whether it's teams and stuff like that.
• 21:54
  And then Julie and I are
• 21:54
  staying ten minutes away from the venue.
• 21:57
  It is crazy tonight,
• 21:59
  just to paint a picture.
• 22:00
  So there's the convention center,
• 22:02
  and then right beside it is
• 22:04
  the University of Alabama
• 22:05
  Birmingham's football stadium,
• 22:08
  which has a game tonight.
• 22:11
  So half the streets around
• 22:12
  where you need to get in
• 22:13
  and out of are closed.
• 22:14
  Oh, wow.
• 22:16
  It is almost impossible to get an Uber.
• 22:21
  We're about ten minutes away.
• 22:22
  Kyle Ruth is staying here.
• 22:25
  Mark Hutchinson is staying here.
• 22:28
  I ran into some guys from Sweden.
• 22:33
  Even though we're ten minutes away,
• 22:34
  we still have a lot of the
• 22:35
  athletes here in the hotel.
• 22:37
  I'm sure people are... The
• 22:40
  hotel prices and stuff
• 22:41
  probably went up massively.
• 22:44
  Ten minutes is nothing.
• 22:46
  Yeah.
• 22:50
  Tristan said, yeah, dude,
• 22:51
  roads are closed and that crowd is rowdy.
• 22:55
  And it took me an hour to
• 22:56
  get my Uber Eats.
• 23:01
  I believe it.
• 23:02
  That's how I was for me at
• 23:06
  semifinals this year.
• 23:06
  It took a while to get my Uber Eats.
• 23:09
  I wasn't sure whether it was
• 23:10
  just busy or downtown with the events.
• 23:14
  Yeah.
• 23:19
  So a couple things I wanted
• 23:20
  to just throw out there is
• 23:22
  one of the guys we interviewed, Rob Davis,
• 23:24
  is in first place after the first day.
• 23:27
  Killing it.
• 23:28
  Carly Matthews came to play.
• 23:32
  I interviewed her after her first event,
• 23:35
  which was the sprint overhead.
• 23:38
  And she's a smaller statured athlete.
• 23:41
  And so I said,
• 23:41
  that's pretty much in your wheelhouse,
• 23:43
  small levers.
• 23:44
  And she said,
• 23:45
  everything here's in my wheelhouse.
• 23:47
  And I was like, what?
• 23:48
  Classic CrossFit.
• 23:51
  That's kind of what she said, but she is,
• 23:54
  I have it on film.
• 23:55
  It'll be in the behind the scenes,
• 23:56
  but she is not lacking any
• 23:58
  confidence coming into this weekend.
• 24:01
  which is kind of fun to see sometimes.
• 24:06
  Just an athlete that knows
• 24:07
  they're in a groove.
• 24:12
  Um, Rudy Berger struggling.
• 24:13
  He, he got all those no reps.
• 24:16
  He's down in the twenties.
• 24:18
  Um, they'd still,
• 24:19
  I still don't have a score
• 24:20
  for him for the rope climb yet.
• 24:24
  So he, hopefully he comes up into the,
• 24:25
  where he's going to be in
• 24:26
  the second heat.
• 24:28
  Cause if you're not in that
• 24:29
  second heat and Jamie found today,
• 24:31
  like if you can't see what
• 24:34
  you're going up against, it's,
• 24:35
  it's tough.
• 24:37
  Like she's,
• 24:38
  she competed against Carlene
• 24:39
  today in three events and
• 24:41
  never got to go up against her once.
• 24:44
  Yeah.
• 24:44
  Like the, the,
• 24:46
  where you are in the heat and that,
• 24:48
  that race that you're able
• 24:49
  to get that from being in
• 24:51
  that final heat is, is huge.
• 24:54
  It's a huge advantage.
• 24:55
  So, um, I mean,
• 24:57
  they've done one that I'm
• 24:58
  assuming they didn't recede
• 24:59
  after the first event.
• 25:00
  He would like Rudy would still be with,
• 25:02
  they did recede.
• 25:04
  They have not receded at all today.
• 25:05
  So all day today,
• 25:07
  he should still be with his regular heat.
• 25:11
  But there's ten scores.
• 25:14
  And, you know, one event that is so –
• 25:18
  based off of judging.
• 25:19
  Like if I'm him, I'm not, you know,
• 25:21
  I'm not counting myself out by,
• 25:23
  by any means.
• 25:24
  Like he's got so much experience.
• 25:26
  He's, um, he should still do, you know,
• 25:30
  great.
• 25:30
  And there's not more sports
• 25:32
  and there's still a lot of
• 25:33
  room with two more events
• 25:34
  in the day to get himself back into, um,
• 25:39
  contention.
• 25:40
  And even it's that,
• 25:41
  that other heat was that
• 25:42
  after two events or three
• 25:43
  or one of it that he was in the twenties,
• 25:46
  uh, after two events, uh,
• 25:49
  He finished thirty seventh
• 25:51
  in the overhead squat workout.
• 25:53
  That sucks.
• 25:55
  Yeah.
• 25:57
  So what I'm going to do real
• 25:58
  quick is I'm going to go through.
• 26:01
  The top threes of all the
• 26:03
  divisions real fast.
• 26:04
  I'm going to start at the
• 26:05
  top because maybe some of
• 26:07
  the other scores will
• 26:07
  populate as we get down there.
• 26:10
  For women, sixty five plus.
• 26:12
  It's Patricia McGill, Denise Moore,
• 26:15
  our very own Denise Moore
• 26:17
  and Sue Sue Lawson.
• 26:20
  For women's sixty to sixty four,
• 26:23
  it's Betsy Vanderberg in first.
• 26:27
  She's always consistently good.
• 26:29
  Laurie.
• 26:32
  Meshishnack.
• 26:33
  Also really good.
• 26:36
  And Lynn Watt, always there as well.
• 26:39
  Those are three heavy
• 26:40
  hitters in that division.
• 26:44
  In the fifty-five to fifty-nine,
• 26:48
  it is T.U.
• 26:50
  Maver, Lee Coates, and Shanna Bunce.
• 27:01
  In fifty to fifty four, Carol Mezen,
• 27:04
  Kim Purdy and number one, Cheryl Brost.
• 27:07
  Again,
• 27:07
  we talked about her whenever she's
• 27:09
  in the competition.
• 27:11
  Always wrong to watch out for her.
• 27:14
  Yep.
• 27:15
  Forty five to forty nine.
• 27:18
  Allie Crawford's in third.
• 27:19
  Kelly Friel defending champ is in second.
• 27:22
  And the once retired Val
• 27:25
  Vogel is in first.
• 27:28
  Oh, gee, she looks good.
• 27:32
  Yeah, you said teacher, right?
• 27:34
  Yeah.
• 27:36
  Yeah.
• 27:37
  She hasn't competed in a while.
• 27:38
  She looked really good out there.
• 27:40
  I don't know if you got to see it.
• 27:44
  I was scrolling through a lot of things,
• 27:46
  so I think I saw her division.
• 27:52
  Women, forty to forty four.
• 27:54
  Our very own Jamie Latimer
• 27:55
  sits in third place.
• 27:58
  Carly Newlands in second place.
• 28:01
  And Carlene Matthews in first.
• 28:06
  We also learned that Becca
• 28:07
  Voigt can still do rope climbs.
• 28:12
  Just in case anybody wonders.
• 28:14
  And then she would lose time
• 28:16
  on the other two movements a little bit.
• 28:17
  And then who was she was racing?
• 28:20
  Who was she racing?
• 28:21
  Carlene?
• 28:23
  who was faster with the
• 28:24
  touch and goes and had
• 28:27
  faster handstand walks.
• 28:29
  So yeah, it was good.
• 28:31
  Good little race.
• 28:33
  Yeah.
• 28:33
  And then in the thirty five to thirty nine,
• 28:35
  we have Julia Holm in third.
• 28:39
  Just outside is Andrea Nistler,
• 28:41
  if you're wondering.
• 28:42
  And fifth is Haley Murillo.
• 28:44
  So those big names are fourth and fifth.
• 28:47
  Shout out to Jasmine two and six,
• 28:49
  my friend.
• 28:50
  Jasmine Sheehan is in sixth.
• 28:52
  Yeah.
• 28:53
  Man, Mackenzie Riley's an eighth.
• 28:55
  This is Allison Stahl in tenth.
• 28:58
  What a loaded, loaded field.
• 28:59
  Oh, yeah.
• 29:01
  And then second is Sammy Scorzelli.
• 29:05
  And number one,
• 29:06
  who we actually said to look out for,
• 29:07
  Caroline Klutz,
• 29:09
  who kind of made a name for
• 29:10
  herself last year at Crash.
• 29:11
  Yeah, she would have done really,
• 29:12
  really well on the individual side,
• 29:15
  the open division or whatever it is.
• 29:17
  Yeah.
• 29:18
  I had to look up the second
• 29:20
  place person on Instagram.
• 29:21
  Lex made me look her up
• 29:23
  because her doodle looked
• 29:24
  exactly like one of my doodles, Callie.
• 29:27
  So then I just, I followed her right away.
• 29:29
  I was like, oh my God.
• 29:32
  All right.
• 29:33
  And then we go to the men.
• 29:35
  Sixty-five plus.
• 29:38
  Third is John Mariotti.
• 29:40
  Second, John George.
• 29:42
  First, Freddie Cherry.
• 29:45
  Sixty to sixty-four.
• 29:48
  We have third, Jose Luis Vaz.
• 29:51
  Second, Stuart Swanson.
• 29:53
  First, Joe Ames.
• 29:56
  Fifty-five to fifty-nine,
• 29:58
  Vic McQuaid in third.
• 30:00
  Shannon McKibben in second,
• 30:02
  and Robert Davis,
• 30:03
  the guy we already talked about in first.
• 30:07
  Fifty to fifty-four,
• 30:09
  Sean Ramirez in his
• 30:10
  comeback in third place.
• 30:13
  Jamie McGarva in second, and Justin Las...
• 30:17
  Lasala in first.
• 30:21
  And then we go to forty five
• 30:24
  to forty nine.
• 30:26
  Nuno Costa in third,
• 30:28
  Jason Grubb in second and
• 30:30
  Kane Hayes in first.
• 30:36
  We go to forty to forty four.
• 30:40
  Looks like things have been updated.
• 30:44
  And we have Chicho Quesada in third,
• 30:50
  Julian Cerna in second,
• 30:52
  and Jonathan Edel in first.
• 30:55
  Another guy we interviewed
• 30:56
  coming into this.
• 30:59
  And Rudy snuck up into ninth
• 31:02
  after the third event.
• 31:07
  Finally, in thirty five to thirty nine,
• 31:09
  we do not have updated
• 31:10
  scores and it's all over the place.
• 31:12
  But we talked about Mitch
• 31:13
  Wagner being in first and
• 31:15
  well more being in second
• 31:16
  coming into this final event.
• 31:21
  For the day, but scores are not populated.
• 31:24
  The only other thing I'll
• 31:25
  say about today is I was
• 31:28
  amazed at how many
• 31:30
  international athletes are here.
• 31:33
  Came came through.
• 31:34
  Yes.
• 31:36
  I've talked to at least five
• 31:38
  people from New Zealand,
• 31:40
  three people from Sweden,
• 31:42
  lots of people from South America.
• 31:45
  So yeah,
• 31:45
  the international flavor is
• 31:47
  definitely here, which was great to see.
• 31:51
  And you guys asked,
• 31:52
  you and Lex asked about the crowds.
• 31:54
  They are pretty robust for a Thursday.
• 31:57
  Any CrossFit event, you know how it works.
• 32:00
  It is...
• 32:03
  It is more sparse at the
• 32:05
  beginning of the week,
• 32:06
  and then as you get to the weekend,
• 32:08
  it picks up as people have
• 32:09
  time off and can come watch
• 32:11
  the whole day.
• 32:13
  But yeah,
• 32:13
  it's like the little stands they
• 32:15
  have at each place are pretty packed,
• 32:17
  and the barricades are
• 32:18
  lined with people on all
• 32:21
  three floors whenever
• 32:23
  there's action going on.
• 32:28
  That's good.
• 32:29
  Games are posting like on their Instagram,
• 32:31
  a little bit of highlights
• 32:32
  on certain athletes prior to the comp.
• 32:35
  I still would like for them
• 32:36
  to share like the link or
• 32:38
  the leaderboard more often
• 32:39
  and draw people to the YouTube.
• 32:44
  Like I think I saw around
• 32:46
  close to two thousand maybe
• 32:47
  on the live today when I
• 32:49
  would be watching the
• 32:50
  Um, but again, like I,
• 32:52
  at first I was looking for the link.
• 32:54
  I was thinking it was going
• 32:55
  to be on the CrossFit games
• 32:57
  at some point or like shared like on the,
• 32:59
  on their YouTube.
• 33:00
  And I wasn't following, um,
• 33:03
  like the legends on, on, um, on YouTube.
• 33:06
  So like I was, I was like,
• 33:08
  where is the link?
• 33:08
  And then I, and then I thought, Oh,
• 33:10
  I'll go to the games
• 33:10
  website and then see it from there.
• 33:12
  And then
• 33:13
  It's like, oh, okay.
• 33:14
  I have to follow the legends one.
• 33:16
  And then I also ended up
• 33:17
  following the pit team
• 33:19
  tonight so that I'm ready
• 33:20
  to watch this weekend my
• 33:24
  teenage group get to work.
• 33:27
  Mentor doing her due diligence.
• 33:29
  Yeah,
• 33:29
  but just to make it easier for people,
• 33:32
  because not all of us followed,
• 33:35
  to begin with,
• 33:36
  the Legends CrossFit channel,
• 33:39
  like the YouTube channel.
• 33:40
  So if they want to get more
• 33:42
  people watching the stream
• 33:44
  and have their investment in the stream,
• 33:47
  you know,
• 33:48
  be more worth it.
• 33:49
  They need to be drawing people there.
• 33:51
  So I feel like all day they should be,
• 33:53
  you know, pushing people to, to that.
• 33:56
  Um,
• 33:56
  I will say that it was great to hear
• 33:59
  Sean's voice.
• 34:02
  Sure.
• 34:02
  It was, I was hoping to run into him.
• 34:04
  I haven't seen him yet.
• 34:05
  Um, I've seen Tommy and chase, uh,
• 34:08
  and Lauren, but I have not seen Sean.
• 34:10
  He had some flight issues
• 34:11
  trying to come in.
• 34:12
  So he wasn't here yesterday
• 34:15
  with the rest of them.
• 34:15
  Um,
• 34:19
  The last thing,
• 34:21
  I'll keep saying the last thing.
• 34:23
  I did hear some tea that
• 34:25
  CrossFit did hire some
• 34:27
  people to do many
• 34:30
  documentary vignettes on a
• 34:32
  handful of athletes.
• 34:35
  Cool.
• 34:36
  And those people are Mariah Moore Oldroyd.
• 34:41
  Yep.
• 34:42
  And Tyson.
• 34:44
  Yep.
• 34:44
  Are there filming these vignettes.
• 34:46
  Awesome.
• 34:47
  They do a great job.
• 34:50
  Yeah,
• 34:50
  so we've been complaining about the
• 34:52
  lack of content that's been
• 34:57
  coming out from CrossFit.
• 34:59
  They have been putting some
• 35:00
  out for the Masters and the teens,
• 35:03
  and that they did hire
• 35:04
  these guys to come in just
• 35:06
  a week ago to do these vignettes.
• 35:10
  So I was hoping Tyson out
• 35:13
  because the bands, man,
• 35:15
  the volunteer security are not –
• 35:18
  equipped to handle the
• 35:19
  different colored bands and
• 35:20
  who gets access to what.
• 35:23
  So I had to help him out a
• 35:25
  little bit so he could get
• 35:27
  where he needed to be, but it's crazy.
• 35:30
  We'll talk about that after
• 35:32
  the weekend's over,
• 35:33
  but that's been a little bit of a,
• 35:36
  the only down thing for us
• 35:37
  as a team is just fighting
• 35:39
  the fight again and again and
• 35:42
  And again, everywhere we go, um, but, uh,
• 35:46
  but we're getting good,
• 35:46
  good content and can't wait
• 35:49
  to put it together for you guys.
• 35:50
  And we're really trying to
• 35:51
  get episode one out next week.
• 35:54
  Uh, the behind the scenes,
• 35:56
  which will episode one will be the,
• 35:59
  will be, um, check-in day.
• 36:03
  What's on, what's on the agenda tomorrow?
• 36:05
  Which, which ones are tomorrow?
• 36:07
  Is it that,
• 36:08
  is that echo bike one tomorrow?
• 36:11
  That gross one?
• 36:12
  Are they in order tomorrow, four, five,
• 36:14
  and six?
• 36:15
  Or are they out of place?
• 36:17
  They are for the younger group.
• 36:19
  But not for the – For the older group,
• 36:20
  it's a little out of order.
• 36:21
  Okay.
• 36:23
  Yeah, it's four, five,
• 36:24
  and six tomorrow in order
• 36:26
  for thirty-five to fifty-four.
• 36:29
  Okay.
• 36:30
  And that starts a little bit
• 36:31
  later in the afternoon.
• 36:35
  Do we have that anywhere
• 36:36
  where I can pull it up super fast?
• 36:38
  Do you know where –
• 36:40
  Uh,
• 36:41
  here event four is event four is the
• 36:44
  snatch ladder.
• 36:45
  Another sub two work, two minute workout.
• 36:48
  They added a minute.
• 36:50
  They did.
• 36:53
  That's what I heard today is
• 36:54
  they added a minute to that
• 36:55
  because of the weight change.
• 36:57
  Okay.
• 36:59
  Okay.
• 37:00
  That's a three minute cap
• 37:01
  instead of a two minute cap.
• 37:02
  Okay.
• 37:03
  And it's still a two barbells.
• 37:06
  I believe so.
• 37:06
  Okay.
• 37:08
  Yeah, I mean, it's going to be fast.
• 37:12
  It's going to be racing.
• 37:14
  For a lot of people,
• 37:15
  it's going to be a weight
• 37:17
  that they can push.
• 37:18
  And then for some people, that last bar,
• 37:20
  they're going to have to
• 37:21
  focus and they might have
• 37:22
  to squat snatch that one.
• 37:24
  And if you want to be
• 37:26
  competitive in that one,
• 37:27
  execution is going to be huge.
• 37:31
  Event five is the wall ball one.
• 37:34
  The Karen,
• 37:35
  the sandwich with three
• 37:37
  movements in the middle of the dumbbells.
• 37:42
  But I believe you said it
• 37:43
  was not a symmetrical up
• 37:45
  and down like you like.
• 37:46
  Yeah, I'd like to be symmetrical ideally,
• 37:49
  but it is what it is.
• 37:53
  That one has a fifteen minute time cap,
• 37:55
  so we'll see.
• 37:57
  we'll see how long, you know,
• 37:59
  they're going to go.
• 38:00
  Cause sometimes the time
• 38:02
  caps are close and sometimes they're not,
• 38:04
  uh, event six is that gross, gross, gross,
• 38:07
  nasty echo bike with the, uh,
• 38:11
  double under and chest of our buy-in.
• 38:15
  Did you ever test it?
• 38:17
  No.
• 38:20
  Can't get to that point.
• 38:22
  Um, but just mathematically,
• 38:25
  I just know where it would be.
• 38:29
  Yeah.
• 38:30
  It's going to be interesting
• 38:31
  to see who sells their soul
• 38:32
  on that to try to finish early.
• 38:35
  I think the females is going
• 38:36
  to have more trouble
• 38:38
  finishing than the male.
• 38:41
  I think the men, some of them can really,
• 38:43
  really crank that echo bike
• 38:44
  and get that power up,
• 38:45
  but so high that the cows
• 38:46
  just start going.
• 38:48
  I think it's a more
• 38:49
  difficult thing to do on the female side.
• 38:53
  It's going to be close.
• 38:53
  I think.
• 38:54
  Yeah.
• 38:56
  Yeah.
• 38:57
  fewer if you are gonna are
• 38:58
  gonna be able to finish it
• 38:59
  but what I'm curious about
• 39:01
  tomorrow is they've they
• 39:02
  had the bay door open all
• 39:04
  day today for that run and
• 39:06
  now the three floors will
• 39:07
  have full air conditioning
• 39:10
  with that bay door shut
• 39:11
  today or tomorrow uh so
• 39:14
  hopefully people aren't as
• 39:17
  fatigued at the end of each event
• 39:21
  And how's the warmup area
• 39:23
  and cool down area?
• 39:24
  Like they had not gone as
• 39:26
  sponsorship or something with the ice, uh,
• 39:30
  cold.
• 39:30
  So there are no ice baths or
• 39:32
  anything like that there,
• 39:33
  unless you go upstairs to
• 39:35
  the vendor village and
• 39:37
  Boulder athlete has a couple.
• 39:40
  Um, so the warmup area is nice.
• 39:44
  It's big.
• 39:45
  It's got lots of platforms,
• 39:47
  lots of rig space.
• 39:49
  Um,
• 39:51
  but that was one of the
• 39:52
  things we ran into today is
• 39:56
  basically they gave us a
• 39:57
  coach's band because so we
• 39:59
  could be in the warmup area
• 40:00
  to talk to them.
• 40:01
  And it got so crowded in
• 40:03
  there that they made their coaches leave,
• 40:07
  which that means that our
• 40:08
  orange band wasn't good anymore.
• 40:12
  And,
• 40:14
  and it was very frustrating because a
• 40:18
  lot of it was from the team and
• 40:21
  that isn't even part of the
• 40:22
  games like a lot of people
• 40:26
  back there want to be with
• 40:26
  their teams and coaching
• 40:28
  and it just was way too
• 40:29
  many people when it got to
• 40:32
  be the individual athletes
• 40:33
  later in the day it wasn't
• 40:34
  even that crowded there's
• 40:38
  plenty of space are the
• 40:39
  teams going on all weekend
• 40:46
  I have not paid attention to teams at all.
• 40:48
  Me neither.
• 40:49
  But I don't know if it's
• 40:49
  like two days and then the
• 40:52
  rest of the time they can
• 40:53
  spectate and be there.
• 40:55
  Or if they're going all four
• 40:56
  days and there's different divisions.
• 41:00
  Yeah,
• 41:00
  I know there's lots of divisions of it.
• 41:02
  I don't... I think it's...
• 41:04
  Hopefully it's just two days.
• 41:08
  Because we're done super early on Sunday.
• 41:10
  Like, it's done at noon here.
• 41:14
  And then...
• 41:21
  I don't know.
• 41:21
  I don't know about teams.
• 41:25
  I like the concept because
• 41:26
  it brings more people to the party.
• 41:29
  But like,
• 41:30
  do they need the full games rig
• 41:33
  set up to warm up?
• 41:35
  Or could they have been put
• 41:36
  somewhere else?
• 41:40
  I haven't seen the space,
• 41:40
  so it's hard for me to comment on that.
• 41:42
  So I would like the athletes.
• 41:46
  village area where you just
• 41:47
  get to hang out there's no
• 41:48
  warm-up area is massive
• 41:52
  like it's half of a
• 41:53
  convention center room like
• 41:57
  huge you could have taken a
• 41:59
  quarter of that and given
• 42:01
  it to the teams to warm up
• 42:02
  in and and then got them
• 42:07
  out of the elite because
• 42:09
  the elite athletes this is
• 42:10
  their games this is like the big show
• 42:13
  to have the teams back there
• 42:14
  warming up on the same stuff,
• 42:17
  hogging equipment,
• 42:18
  all that stuff seemed to be
• 42:20
  a little much.
• 42:26
  Yeah.
• 42:27
  Linda Jerry asks a random question.
• 42:29
  Where do we know Kevin jurors from?
• 42:33
  I just have seen him around
• 42:34
  the master space for a long time.
• 42:42
  Don't know from anything else.
• 42:47
  I don't know.
• 42:50
  But anyway,
• 42:51
  day one's in the books and our
• 42:52
  very own Jamie Latimer.
• 42:54
  And I got my, my shirt today.
• 42:58
  Let's go.
• 42:58
  Jamie is in a podium position right now.
• 43:05
  Keep going.
• 43:06
  So she has a good day.
• 43:08
  The rest of the good day tomorrow.
• 43:10
  I think she gets to tomorrow.
• 43:11
  She's gold.
• 43:14
  Tomorrow's going to be,
• 43:15
  it's going to have a couple events.
• 43:17
  I think for her that she'll
• 43:19
  have to stay in the mix, right?
• 43:21
  Like that snatch ladder and
• 43:23
  that power output as a smaller athlete,
• 43:28
  I think will be challenging.
• 43:30
  So I hope that she's able to
• 43:32
  stay within the top to then, you know,
• 43:36
  push where she needs to.
• 43:37
  Yeah.
• 43:39
  I agree.
• 43:41
  So, yeah.
• 43:42
  I think what's good is the
• 43:44
  athletes she's at the top
• 43:45
  with are also smaller athletes.
• 43:49
  Yep.
• 43:50
  You know, Carlene is a smaller athlete.
• 43:53
  Carlene may be the only
• 43:54
  person smaller than Jamie.
• 43:55
  And the good thing is, you know,
• 44:01
  confidence.
• 44:02
  You start the weekend off
• 44:03
  and you're doing well.
• 44:06
  You know, that head space is huge, right?
• 44:09
  Um, it plays a huge factor.
• 44:11
  It's not just physical.
• 44:12
  When you go to these competitions, it's,
• 44:14
  it's about having
• 44:15
  confidence and being in a
• 44:16
  good mental space.
• 44:18
  Like I know that's,
• 44:18
  that's where I struggled
• 44:19
  the most this year, um, was mentally.
• 44:22
  And then I just had trouble
• 44:24
  physically to go after.
• 44:25
  Cause I was just like,
• 44:26
  I was in a position.
• 44:27
  I was never, ever in my career,
• 44:29
  like added a competition.
• 44:30
  So I had a better start.
• 44:33
  Who knows?
• 44:35
  what type of weekend I could have had.
• 44:36
  So if she's having a great start,
• 44:38
  let's ride that wave.
• 44:39
  And, you know, who knows where,
• 44:41
  where it can go from there this weekend,
• 44:42
  even if it's a quote
• 44:43
  unquote bad event for her, if she,
• 44:46
  you know, is no,
• 44:47
  that knows that she's
• 44:48
  competing for a podium spot like that,
• 44:50
  just all of a sudden puts a
• 44:52
  little bit more, um,
• 44:54
  energy into the pedals maybe, you know,
• 44:56
  and, and pushes a little bit more.
• 44:57
  Yeah.
• 44:58
  And let's be honest,
• 44:59
  it does the exact opposite
• 45:01
  on the other side of the leaderboard.
• 45:04
  Those people that have had a
• 45:05
  bad start who are
• 45:06
  struggling to get any kind of momentum.
• 45:09
  Yeah,
• 45:09
  I've beat people I had no business
• 45:13
  beating in in certain wads,
• 45:14
  and I've been beat by
• 45:15
  people that shouldn't beat
• 45:16
  me just because of where things are.
• 45:19
  Like,
• 45:20
  you don't know how people are that
• 45:22
  weekend.
• 45:23
  So, yeah, never know.

  Well,
• 45:27
  the last thing I'm going to say is it
• 45:29
  was nice to be back to a
• 45:31
  competition that was just
• 45:33
  about the competition.
• 45:36
  Even though that Lazar has
• 45:39
  been addressed a lot this weekend,
• 45:42
  there are athletes wearing
• 45:43
  temporary tattoos with his
• 45:45
  name on their arms.
• 45:47
  Thick Boy is selling Juket
• 45:49
  shirts with all proceeds
• 45:51
  going to his family.
• 45:55
  So there are people wearing
• 45:57
  the Jukic jerseys and
• 46:00
  wearing temporary tattoos
• 46:01
  during the events to honor
• 46:04
  him during the competition.
• 46:08
  But it feels like a step forward,
• 46:11
  like not forgotten,
• 46:14
  but moving a little bit
• 46:15
  forward to a new normal in the space.
• 46:19
  And I got a lot of time to
• 46:21
  talk with Boz and to...
• 46:26
  Becky harsh, uh, which was really,
• 46:29
  really good to do and enlightening and,
• 46:34
  um, yeah, glad I got that opportunity.
• 46:37
  Awesome.
• 46:41
  So with that, tune in tomorrow night.
• 46:45
  We'll do these every night
• 46:47
  throughout the weekend.
• 46:48
  The only night in question is Sunday.
• 46:51
  We may have to pause that
• 46:52
  till Monday because they
• 46:54
  changed the schedule to end so early.
• 46:57
  We may try to get out of our
• 46:58
  last night of hotel bill
• 47:01
  and hit the road to get
• 47:02
  back so we don't have to do
• 47:04
  eight and a half hours in one day.
• 47:07
  With that, thank you, everybody,
• 47:09
  for being here.
• 47:10
  You guys are the best as always.
• 47:12
  And enjoy those Masters athletes.
• 47:14
  They are killing it,
• 47:16
  and they're what this sport is all about.
• 47:18
  Let's share that link, too.
• 47:21
  People should be sharing
• 47:22
  those links on their social
• 47:23
  medias so that we get more
• 47:24
  eyes on that YouTube channel.
• 47:26
  And if you're able to be there in person,
• 47:29
  get a ticket.
• 47:29
  Let's support the Masters
• 47:31
  and the teens as well this weekend.
• 47:34
  Awesome.
• 47:35
  With that, thanks, everybody.
• 47:36
  We'll see you next time on
• 47:38
  the Clydesdale Media
• 47:40
  Podcast or Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
• 47:43
  I'm confused because it's Thursday night,
• 47:44
  but we're here.
