Latest / The Spin Podcast / Alexis Raptis, Tanner Balazs, Tyler Watkins & More Take on CrossFit Open 25.3 at CrossFit Westfield
Transcript
- 0:33Welcome to the special edition Friday Night Lights.
- 0:37Tyler's live from CrossFit Westfield, just north of
- 0:40Indianapolis, Right? Yeah.
- 0:42Carmel, there you go. Actually spelled correctly.
- 0:47Yeah, you are a bits, maybe the record set, world record holder
- 0:53possibly in a in a few minutes. Alexis wrapped this.
- 0:55She's warming up, I mean. Let me flip us around here.
- 0:59They are gearing up around here so I know how to work this
- 1:05machine. It is tough.
- 1:07The the plan is in 16 minutes at 5:20 Eastern Time.
- 1:16We've got Tanner Blaz just walked through the screen.
- 1:19Alexis Raptis, I think. Is that her?
- 1:22Yeah, way back there in the back.
- 1:24Brandon Smith yourself. Who else is going to be doing
- 1:27the work? Well, let's see.
- 1:28Here's the problem. Brandon is he's stuck in
- 1:32traffic. Oh no so.
- 1:36But we got a good squad. Travis, our favorite Canadian,
- 1:41but maybe an unpopular take, but if Watkins paces right, he can
- 1:46beat Alexis. Raptors.
- 1:47That would be true for anyone, but it's not going to be.
- 1:52I could pace it right, but it's not going to happen.
- 1:57Riley. Who knew Watkins was popular
- 1:59enough to get his name in the title?
- 2:01Oh yeah, that's a good point. I did feel weird about that when
- 2:04you named it that way. I was.
- 2:05Like. I don't think I should be
- 2:08mentioned in the same sentence that way, but all right.
- 2:11Hey, you're you're on the, you're on the weekly show.
- 2:13You get it. I'm now going to know what it's
- 2:16like to be corralled for 20 minutes before I start to eat.
- 2:20There you go, Glee. Do not worry, Miss Watkins will
- 2:24be carrying the camera around. We will get, we will get good
- 2:28views of all the athletes including Alexis.
- 2:30So this is just the warm up area that we're looking at right now,
- 2:33is that correct? Yeah, yeah.
- 2:36This is like this year. I'll walk you around, mute me if
- 2:39you got to, but this is like across the Westfield.
- 2:41It's pretty huge. This is like just a little off
- 2:44to the side room that they have a lot of the individual work or
- 2:49athletes will warm up here or work out here even.
- 2:52But then they got a like a big, this is a big, big affiliate.
- 2:56They're all decked out right now.
- 2:59Where's your costume? Pizza.
- 3:02I'm not doing that. That ain't my thing.
- 3:06Look, I mean like they got this whole area over here with a
- 3:09turf. Everybody's, I don't know,
- 3:12they're drinking going on. This is like the main part of
- 3:18the gym here. Mr. Potato Head, Mr. Potato Head
- 3:21doing his deadlifts. That's good, right?
- 3:26The Lexus and Tanner will be going right here in the middle
- 3:30and then I'll be off to the side off.
- 3:31Camera. Oh no, we'll have to catch you
- 3:35going out hot. But Tanner reached out to me, I
- 3:41think it was like Monday night and he was like, he he texts
- 3:45like Savon. He was like, hey, dude.
- 3:47And I was like, what? He said, sorry.
- 3:50He said we need to come up here. We need to do the open live.
- 3:56I was like, what does that mean? He goes, Alexis, I want to
- 3:59highlight the affiliates. So this is all Tanner driven
- 4:03right now. Dude, Tanner's the man.
- 4:06It's good stuff. What is your goal?
- 4:12Have you thought about that? I don't have like a time goal.
- 4:17I've seen a few times that are like decent.
- 4:19I think I would put myself like somewhere in like the if I can
- 4:23go sub 15 or sub 16, I think I would be happy.
- 4:28My gym owners decently fit and he's false and he got 16
- 4:32something. So something like that, I don't
- 4:35know. I'm going to like.
- 4:37My goal is to just not hate my life in the middle of it to get
- 4:41through the cleans. I've heard the cleans is where
- 4:44the yeah, the cleans is where it I think it gets gets rough.
- 4:48Yeah. So have you warmed up then?
- 4:51Yeah, I spent, I warmed up pretty early.
- 4:56I got going because I knew I was going to have to sit here for a
- 4:59little while And I, I basically like warmed up and did a couple
- 5:04touch and go deadlifts at 225, couple like drop cleans and then
- 5:09some snatches. And I did a couple set, probably
- 5:11four or five sets of wall walks just to get that quick feeling
- 5:16going and some rowing. I did a little bit of rowing.
- 5:20Want to love Tyler? You're going to hate your life.
- 5:24Sorry. Yeah, that, that probably checks
- 5:27out. Bubba Bee, you did it last night
- 5:30and Queens were a slap in the face.
- 5:32That's what I've heard. I've heard that like they were
- 5:34the heaviest Queens. I've heard it's the heaviest
- 5:36Queens you ever do. I feel like the heaviest 135
- 5:38Queens you'll ever do and the lightest 95 LB snatches you'll
- 5:41ever do. So does anybody know Jy's time
- 5:46yet? He finished, did he?
- 5:49Yeah, he was. He he showed on a story that he
- 5:52was doing a reel and he was, he was rowing pretty hard so.
- 5:56I'm surprised they already did it.
- 5:58Had to get it out of the way, I guess.
- 6:01Grant said he finished at 1959 and then yacked.
- 6:06It's on his story right now. So Bubba said the 1:30 fives
- 6:10felt like 225 and 95 lbs felt like the barbell.
- 6:14Do you have? Another one.
- 6:15Do you need another one? Sorry, Spin.
- 6:20Logistical issues. You're good, you're good.
- 6:27The current time to beat on the women's side is a 11/12 Hannah
- 6:32Hardy. She's actually on team meet
- 6:34spin, Kristen Holta, 1143, ODA Lundkenbaum, something like
- 6:41that, 1135 And then on the men's side, obviously Dallin Pepper
- 6:49with a 921. Have you talked to Alexis or
- 6:53Tanner about their plan or strategy?
- 6:59Tanner Tanner would like to go sub twelve.
- 7:02I've talked to him a little bit more.
- 7:04Alexis. I've been around her a few times
- 7:06when she's preparing to get ready to do stuff and I give her
- 7:09her space. She gets very intense.
- 7:12But she's, I mean, I would not doubt if she tries to set a
- 7:16world record pace, I think she's going to try to go for it.
- 7:19Yeah, should be good. How's Mr. Potato Head doing?
- 7:24He's good. He's he's going to be baking
- 7:27Potato Head here in a second. Has he made it through the
- 7:31deadlifts? We can.
- 7:32We can go check. Let's let's go watch Mr. Potato
- 7:35Head. Yes, a little entertainment.
- 7:37Yeah, let's see pool boy in the crowd watching.
- 7:52We got I don't see a potato head moving.
- 7:56Maybe deceased. Oh no, that's it.
- 8:01Where is he? Uh oh, just laying on the
- 8:07ground. Oh, there he goes.
- 8:14You ever seen upside down potato heads?
- 8:21What's that? If Mr. Potato Head can do wall
- 8:24walks, anybody can do wall walks.
- 8:31How much time do we got left? We're at 16 minutes.
- 8:38OK, All right, let's be a pretty quick turn around then 5 minute
- 8:41turn around. Yeah, for those of you we
- 8:49hopefully the idea is Pedro White will be joining us here
- 8:53shortly. He was at Friday Night Lights, I
- 8:56think somewhere in Ireland again.
- 8:59So when he can get out of the gym and pull up, we'll have him
- 9:05there too, all. Right, hold on, here we go.
- 9:12The button for switching the camera around needs to be like
- 9:14right here. There is Miss Alexis Raptis.
- 9:20It's getting the camera all geared up.
- 9:22I feel like that has to be the most stressful part of all of
- 9:24this for the athletes. It has to be.
- 9:27Does she have anybody helping her?
- 9:29Yeah, all that is all set. Up J DS also setting up for her
- 9:32right now. How many cameras is she going to
- 9:35run? Just one.
- 9:40OK. Yeah, her and Tanner are going
- 9:43to probably be within the same frame, so that that'll start it
- 9:46back up. And then I think there's another
- 9:47one going through. So we should be safe.
- 9:51Let's kind of throws us an EMP. You just never know.
- 9:56Yeah, Indianapolis is a big hub for EMP's.
- 10:01I'm fully aware of Indianapolis. It's a good place.
- 10:07So yeah, this, this is always like watching this part always
- 10:11stresses me out. You feel like you get in the
- 10:13zone and like you're all sweaty and all the stuff and it's like,
- 10:18OK, now you have to totally change your friend of mine.
- 10:20Do the whole intro to the video and then go.
- 10:25Yeah, if people didn't pay attention to Westfield IN,
- 10:28that's the home of the the first tour event of World Fitness
- 10:31Project. How exciting.
- 10:32Yeah, it is. Just how far is the WFP event
- 10:36from here? 5 miles.
- 10:39OK, Yeah. So pretty, pretty good to go.
- 10:43Yeah, you're good. Tanner I know is doing the the
- 10:48Challenger series and that. So am I.
- 10:52And yeah, Yep. I'm.
- 10:56In big challenger. I'm 1 of 250 signed up for it.
- 11:01You better watch out me Colton Tanner.
- 11:04Be a be a battle. Yeah, how many athletes have
- 11:12signed up? I know that Will said there was
- 11:14like 100 and something, but I didn't know if that was total or
- 11:16what. There's 250 or so all in, most,
- 11:22mostly men. It's like 170 men, 80 women or
- 11:26something like that. Jeanette should be coming online
- 11:30here in a second. There we go.
- 11:34One more transition camera you can.
- 11:38You guys don't hear me be out of breath or no, I guess you won't
- 11:40hear me, but you'll see the full capacity.
- 11:43You'll see how how close you can keep up with.
- 11:49That's a good question. Like as far as giving me a
- 11:56handicap, how far do you, how close can you you think I can
- 11:59stay with him within Alexis and then.
- 12:05I think the question is, are you at the rower at the same time?
- 12:10No way, No. OK.
- 12:15And then the other question is, can Tanner, will she catch back
- 12:19up or surpass Tanner after the row?
- 12:23I think I think Alexis can can beat Tanner.
- 12:28You think she can beat him? I mean I think I think Alexis
- 12:32will go sub 11. All.
- 12:38Right, Hannah Hardy. Hannah Hardy has the best time
- 12:41at 11:12 so. That's devious.
- 12:44So I I think she has as good a shot as anyone to beat 11
- 12:48minutes. I'm ready.
- 12:55Do you need to go turn your turn your phone off and go get warmed
- 12:57up, get ready. Warmed up, I just got to get it
- 13:01out. There.
- 13:02All right, I'll see you. All right.
- 13:05See you in 20 minutes. Perfect.
- 13:12All right, they're warming up. I got Tanner Blaze right there
- 13:17in the red hair, just off to the right.
- 13:21Someone's pointing at the rower, Alexis.
- 13:30Let's see cross fat.
- 13:45Can you stay on the same pod of movements?
- 13:48Not sure what that is. Tanner will be over there on the
- 13:56right, Alexis next to him. Throw Tyler off to the side.
- 14:02Let's see, Look at the men's leaderboard so far. 25.3 Dallin,
- 14:10James and Jason still have the top three scores.
- 14:12Nobody else has broken 10 minutes.
- 14:14Oldest sits there in 10 minutes and 13 seconds is the 4th best
- 14:18time in the world. Jack Rosemo with 1047, Miko
- 14:23Lilly Org at 1053, Roman Krynikov 1056 and Aniol Ikai at
- 14:3010:58. Only eight men have broken the
- 14:3411 minute mark and on the women's side only 6 have beaten
- 14:4012 minutes. Hannah Hardy, ODA Lundqvom,
- 14:43Kristen Holta, Leah Storin, Rachel Klaussen and Stevie
- 14:47Dellinger have broken 12 minutes.
- 14:56Jet Benedict, can you explain how you manage the setup?
- 14:59Not sure how to do it best. I don't.
- 15:04I mean, I think probably the best way if you have room is to
- 15:06put the rower and the barbell next to each other.
- 15:11But I'm not like the floor plans to to to understand all of the
- 15:15different nuances of keeping things away from each other.
- 15:25We should be starting in 2 minutes.
- 15:46Look at that. There he is.
- 15:48Right. Wow, why am I so big?
- 15:50Where do you? Look at that.
- 15:53And that's that's what people want to watch.
- 15:58Oh, they haven't started. They have not started yet.
- 16:01They're just, you're right in time, Pedro.
- 16:04Like I found it. Have you done this yet?
- 16:07No, have you? Yes.
- 16:11Did you finish the row? First one or the last one?
- 16:17Yes. I so I'm incredibly unfit in
- 16:23general but more so now at the minute compared to usual but I
- 16:31was really happy I had. This is probably the the
- 16:33happiest I've been with an open workout this year.
- 16:37I did and it wasn't particularly impressive so don't expect me to
- 16:40say I was 2 calories short or something.
- 16:43I was in the wall walks. I think I had one wall walk left
- 16:45before the snatches and I lit like I didn't do a wall walk in
- 16:52the warm up because I was like, I might only have one because
- 16:58I'm not wasting it here. And I lifted the fur, you know,
- 17:02the deadlift. I lifted the first deadlift and
- 17:04I was like, oh, but I was fine. And then it's it's actually a
- 17:10nice workout because the cleans, the first couple of reps, the
- 17:12clean just feels so light after the deadlifts and it quickly
- 17:16catches up on you. But the first couple you feel
- 17:18like a beast. But you know, it's good.
- 17:21It's a really enjoyable workout. Yeah, and you were.
- 17:25What gym were you at this this week?
- 17:28Method training in new new assault in the UK.
- 17:33Unbelievable gym like so good. Good Friday Night Lights.
- 17:39Yeah, 320 members have signed up to do the open out of 360.
- 17:48That's impressive. Isn't it?
- 17:49Yeah, that's, that's good. Did they say, did you, did they
- 17:52share how they got such a great percentage?
- 17:56Sign up. He so he did something every
- 17:59week. So like week 1 Innovate came and
- 18:02they gave away shoes to a specific amount.
- 18:05I can't remember how many. Last week there was T-shirts.
- 18:09I can't remember the name of the company this week.
- 18:11There was like protein, like bags of protein and stuff like
- 18:14that. So he organized something every
- 18:15week. But this guy Jamie owns it is an
- 18:21incredibly like system, system systems.
- 18:25So I don't think it's not a fluke.
- 18:27Like, he's very, he's a very good businessman.
- 18:30Yeah. And Coach.
- 18:33Good, that's awesome. I assume you're putting another
- 18:35video a good time there. Yeah.
- 18:40The last one was good last. One yeah, that's that Moira that
- 18:45has the highest sign ups in on the island of Ireland.
- 18:51It's only 4000 only. 4000 people in the village and there's 300
- 18:59and something members, which I thought was impressive.
- 19:00That's. That is impressive.
- 19:03They have more sign ups than Charlotte and more sign ups than
- 19:06Crash. Wow.
- 19:10So it's impressive, Brian, right, back off.
- 19:14Yeah, the worst part of all of this for anybody that actually
- 19:19matters for the Open is all the measurements and introductions
- 19:23and recording. What's all the pink shit?
- 19:28That's their theme. They got Barbie going on.
- 19:30We we got to watch Mr. Potato Head doing some wall walks.
- 19:34They had T Rex doing some cleans and some wall walks.
- 19:39So yeah, very pink. I'm surprised Erica full Loaded
- 19:44making a surprise visit. Striped shirt.
- 19:48Yeah, no, it's they're they are in CrossFit Westfield, just
- 19:53north of Indiana, Indianapolis. It's where Alexis has been
- 19:56training I guess recently. And also you.
- 20:02You probably love this Pedro. 5 miles away from tour event one
- 20:06of the World Fitness project. Wow, is this the World Fitness
- 20:10Project? Project Affiliate.
- 20:13No, that that one is up in Waukesha, WI.
- 20:16The first one, I don't know if you saw that in my stories,
- 20:19There's an officially a fitness project affiliate.
- 20:25I guess in some ways we're all a fitness project.
- 20:29We are, but yeah, it's a working project.
- 20:31Working project? Is that how you say it?
- 20:35Maybe the real project was the friends who made a long way it.
- 20:38Could be it could be Tyler looks ready.
- 20:43Tyler's going to go out way, way, way too hot in.
- 20:46This. I sure hope he does, it'll be
- 20:48amazing. I wish they had put It would
- 20:57been funny if they put Tyler in between Tanner and Alexis.
- 21:00So you just feel. Is this Tanner from here as
- 21:04well? Is he?
- 21:05What's that? Is Tanner from here as well?
- 21:08Yeah. So I think Tanner was work.
- 21:11I think Tanner has been at Westfield for a while and then I
- 21:13think Alexis moved down there to train from Michigan to train
- 21:18with Tanner, I think. Are they banking?
- 21:23I don't know, get to ask him. Hey, there's.
- 21:31Something going on? I don't know.
- 21:33Who's holding the camera? Miss Watkins.
- 21:39Soon to be Mama Watkins. Yeah, other introduction there.
- 21:48Isn't it crazy how fast Alan did this work out?
- 21:52It's nuts. There's only eight guys that are
- 21:54under 11 minutes right now. The fastest women's time is
- 22:03Hannah Hardy at 11:12, so we'll see if Alexis can can beat that.
- 22:12That is going to win the games. I think after the Open I've been
- 22:16very impressed. He looks strong.
- 22:21I mean, and he's not like he's not fighting fit.
- 22:23I wouldn't say he always he has whatever that little niggle is.
- 22:27He's not he's probably not like, oh, I want to win the Open, but
- 22:31like he wants to do like as well as he can do considering.
- 22:34But he looks seriously impressive if this is even 70%.
- 22:39Yeah, what am I not reading? Am I missing something?
- 22:48I don't know. I don't know what I missed.
- 22:52I don't see any paid comments so.
- 22:59That's how I gauge them too. That's the easiest way to be
- 23:03seen. Tyler warmed up about 30 plus
- 23:10minutes ago so I think he's ready and get ready to go.
- 23:16There's no comments that are standing out.
- 23:21Everybody's worried about this tape line on the backside.
- 23:26Oh dog, that's like elaborate. This is a lot of preamble.
- 23:37I could have arrived at like an hour late.
- 23:40I've been fine. They are, yeah.
- 23:44This is all the setting up. I wonder if Tyler has his own
- 23:47separate camera? Oh, thumbs up, it's.
- 24:00A lot of standing around. Yeah, Oh my God.
- 24:08Come on, get your head out of your ass.
- 24:14Alexis looks jacked and she. I mean, if you think about, you
- 24:21know, Laura's not doing the games.
- 24:24I, I still, I know that Tia's going to be at at Taurian, but I
- 24:33don't know if she's going to go to the games or not.
- 24:35When is that high rocks the Chicago thing?
- 24:38End of June. End of June.
- 24:40Jeez, that's a pretty quick. So, I mean, the fact that she
- 24:43hasn't touched a barbell in months leads me to believe that
- 24:45she may just be going to Taurian to end her career in Australia,
- 24:49where it began. At least that's my.
- 24:53Yeah, maybe. John brought it up on on the
- 24:55spin. Tell Tyler, get this thing
- 24:59going. See.
- 25:00Yeah, I mean, my God, it's like I dressed like a wizard.
- 25:05That's not Barbie themed. Wouldn't it be Tia's greatest
- 25:09achievement of all? Even greater than coming back
- 25:13post pregnancy and winning to not trained to win the games,
- 25:18but to win the games, to train a different sport, a different
- 25:21discipline and. Oh 100% that'll be wild if she's
- 25:23like I didn't touch a barbell for in training for 5-6 months.
- 25:28I touched it for a month leading up to the games and I still beat
- 25:31all of you. Yeah, everyone else should just
- 25:34quit if that happens. But I mean, if you, if you think
- 25:39of Tia, if she just ends up not competing like it's wide open at
- 25:46that point. Do you guys have the game?
- 25:48Guess who? Yeah.
- 25:50You know, you flick down the little faces.
- 25:52Yeah. Like if that, if, if T you go
- 25:54like you're basically left with like Alexis and like one or two
- 25:58others left standing. Alexis, Ariel.
- 26:01Yeah. I guess maybe Emily Rolf is
- 26:03still in that conversation. Yeah, just so many have quit or
- 26:09left or whatever. Yeah.
- 26:12There's clock issues, Tyler says.
- 26:15I'll give them a clock issue. We have a clock right on the
- 26:19screen. Who's that?
- 26:22I'm not sure how reliable that is for.
- 26:25Maybe, maybe not, But. Oh, FISA gaffe is in the chat.
- 26:34She's going to win the Open. I think I'm very, very, very.
- 26:41Wonder how Fee did on this workout?
- 26:43She's the 1st 2. She was seriously impressive.
- 26:47She could win all this, this whole thing, too.
- 26:54I agree, Mike. Oh, here we go.
- 27:00It looks like they're getting started.
- 27:03Let's see how fast I am on the We got the we got the countdown,
- 27:06so I should be able to get this thing fairly synced up.
- 27:12Oh, here we go. 10 seconds 321. Start.
- 27:23Oh, nothing happened. Oh, there he goes.
- 27:26There we go, and I wish my wall walks were that fast.
- 27:34I had so my last wall walk, I looked up, the judge was like
- 27:40come on, you get another one in and I looked up at the clock and
- 27:42there was 10 seconds and I was like, you know what, I might.
- 27:45And I was like, let me just lie here for another 2 seconds.
- 27:49So I definitely won't. That's the difference between
- 27:54the likes of me and the likes of the people currently on the
- 27:56screen. Men will die for points.
- 28:00Not this one he won't even go slightly out of.
- 28:03Display. No, it's not worth it.
- 28:04Not worth it. Oh man, here we go.
- 28:12Tyler looks like he's he's taking that.
- 28:14Don't pull too fast. Approach Tanner. 12 hundred 1300
- 28:21calories. Please be at like 16.
- 28:25Tyler 1200 For Tyler, they gave Tyler the the monitor doesn't
- 28:33light up. DB wins the games.
- 28:36No, she doesn't. How hard?
- 28:43How? What was your pace on the road,
- 28:46Pedro? Around 1200 I kind of dipped.
- 28:51I was around 500 and then the last like I don't know, maybe
- 28:5412/10/12 comments or 1012 calories.
- 28:59I slowed down because I was like, I don't want to be too out
- 29:04of breath going over to the wall because I just lie there for 4
- 29:07minutes. When we look at the the open
- 29:11announcement, Dallon and Jason both finished right around 225
- 29:17on the total clock. Spray got off at 2:43 right next
- 29:22to Tyson Beijing. Spray pays that so well, didn't
- 29:26he he? Did yeah.
- 29:28I was like, man, he is, he's going to lose three in a row.
- 29:31And then, yeah, I was like. He's screwed and he paced it so,
- 29:34so well. I'd say Jason was absolutely
- 29:36livid all. Right.
- 29:48Two, they've passed Dallon and Jason, so that is not in
- 29:52jeopardy maybe. They're just pacing it really
- 29:55well. We'll see, We'll see.
- 29:58They are approaching 243, which is when James got off the road.
- 30:02Oh head of James Sprague. Now I will say Tanner has got
- 30:11some previous of doing quite well for a large portion of the
- 30:16workout and then slightly falling away and.
- 30:20Then not. Yeah, he did on Kill Taylor.
- 30:24He did it at Crash. He'll come out real hot and
- 30:28he'll hold on for a long time and you're like, holy shit, this
- 30:31guy. And then it just kind of the
- 30:33wheels wobble all. Right deadlifts Alexis onto the
- 30:37wall at 3:15. Yeah, sets A5 on the deadlift.
- 30:43Seems to be what everybody who knows what they're doing is
- 30:45doing. Now, Rich said, do a big set on
- 30:48the deadlifts. Go 15.
- 30:51Yeah, but then you're housing like it.
- 30:52It depends on what you're capable of, because then.
- 30:54It's also rich talking, but. Yeah, you've so many clean, so
- 30:57many snatches later, you don't want your houses all lit up.
- 31:01Tyler's back there. I feel like that's going to be
- 31:05said a lot. Tyler is also present.
- 31:12He's working his way through those fairly quickly, so 5 for
- 31:20Alexis as well. She looks absolutely yoked.
- 31:28I wonder how? I wonder has she changed a lot
- 31:32because of, you know, her like colitis and issues and all that.
- 31:36I wonder has she changed her food, changed her diet like she
- 31:38looks? I think she looks a lot
- 31:40different now than she did 12 months ago.
- 31:42It's, I think she said on Hiller's video that she was
- 31:45taking like some medication for it for the first time.
- 31:49Maybe I misheard it, but I thought that's what she was, she
- 31:51said. Which if that's the case and she
- 31:54was feeling good about it, like actually.
- 31:56It's probably hard for her to find medication that she can
- 31:59definitely take. Right.
- 32:04You don't want to take something and shit your pants.
- 32:06You also don't want to take something and pop.
- 32:09Fee's doing it tomorrow. Maybe if he wants to do it live,
- 32:19we can just just do live shows, all the top athletes doing.
- 32:23You could do Fee and Mirham live split screen.
- 32:27That'd be good. Miram is probably like her third
- 32:29attempt by now by tomorrow. She's done it 6 times.
- 32:32There's a guy in the gym eyes in today that had already done it
- 32:34three times. He did it morning and he loaded
- 32:38his bar too heavy. He did it at lunchtime and he
- 32:41wasn't happy with how he did. And he came back and did it in
- 32:43the evening and he loaded his bar too light.
- 32:45And I was like, this guy is an idiot.
- 32:49Oh Grant did it and he skipped 5 wall walks.
- 32:53Oh nice. He went straight from the the
- 32:56rower to the deadlifts. Let's see after the cleans,
- 33:01Dallon was off at 520. You're past that chasing at 530,
- 33:07past that James Sprague 548. So Tanner is a little bit slower
- 33:11than those guys. He's.
- 33:15Skirting the line a bit here on some of these cleans.
- 33:17Man, I was Tyson Baigent when he finished the five wall walks
- 33:21before the cleans at 6:13. It took him 3 minutes on the
- 33:24next 5 wall walks so yeah, that took a while.
- 33:35Tanner moving back to the wall 614 after his cleans.
- 33:40Those, yeah, one or two of those teams looked a bit suspect.
- 33:46We're going to wrap them. Just like standing up to, you
- 33:48know, just like dumping it as he stood up, like, you know, I
- 33:51don't know, it's an easy thing to and I think it's where a lot
- 33:54of people will get no Rep. Well, on the fucking tape or
- 33:57whatever on the line as well, but just dumping the bar too
- 34:00quick if you have a good judge. Vicky, is it easier to walk?
- 34:06Walk with feet wide like Alexis maybe.
- 34:11I guess she keeps her toes on the wall a lot longer.
- 34:16Maybe I'm just absolutely, I mean, I am absolutely terrible
- 34:20at them, but I kind of go to, you know, if that's the sole of
- 34:24my foot, No, that's the sole of my foot there.
- 34:29I kind of go that I like to slide my foot up.
- 34:31Do you know what I mean? Where she like deliberately
- 34:33steps her. Toes.
- 34:33I saw that was one of the tips that Mayhem had for 25 three,
- 34:38The Pam Gangiel, she was like, if you have a hard time getting
- 34:43close to the wall, point your toes up so you have a little bit
- 34:46more room. Sorry, we need to go back.
- 34:49How do you say her? Gagnon.
- 34:50I don't know, it's like French, right?
- 34:53I thought it was just like Pamela Gannon or something.
- 34:55I. Don't know Gagnon Pam Gagnon.
- 35:01Gagging on it. Oops, that's wrong.
- 35:02Show this isn't. It's not kill Taylor.
- 35:06Wrong one. Let's see the 25 snatches.
- 35:12Oh man. Yeah, all those guys finished at
- 35:157:20 or faster. Alexis is.
- 35:20Tyler stripping off. Where is Tyler?
- 35:23What's he doing over there? Is he doing cleans?
- 35:26He's doing cleans yet? Come on, get those elbows
- 35:31through there, Tyler. That looks close.
- 35:39Oh, if he's doing it with Ty Jenkins tomorrow, wish we could
- 35:42go live. You can.
- 35:43You can. Send spin a text.
- 35:45Oh, Alexis out of the way there, Jase.
- 35:49Alexis Back, 828. So she's got wall walks and the
- 35:53row and what did you say, 1112? 11 or 1112 was the fastest by
- 35:59Hannah Hardy, so it's probably going to take about two minutes,
- 36:05so it's going to be close. Yeah, she's just powered through
- 36:09these wall walks and then. Hannah Hardy's time is
- 36:16impressive if she's keeping up with Yeah with Alexis.
- 36:22Barry Mccockner elbows, Tyler elbows.
- 36:27Oh yeah. Here we go.
- 36:32She has 2 minutes. Two minutes to beat Tan Hardy.
- 36:36Turning away from Tyler as he no rests his games.
- 36:42We'll have plenty of time to watch Tyler after Alexis and
- 36:45Tanner finish up. Justin Cochran 1112 is gone.
- 36:50No chance. I think Tanner's got her.
- 36:56I think Tanner's going to beat her.
- 37:00Wow, 1400 at the end, that's pretty impressive.
- 37:03So that's going to be about two minutes on the on the rower if
- 37:06he holds that pace. I can't kind of short.
- 37:10I suppose he's a CrossFit, so it makes sense.
- 37:13He's a tighter tight. Yeah, I think so. 57585 and 9
- 37:17something short for me. Get a bit closer there, cannot
- 37:24see the screen. I can't tell no.
- 37:29Cannot tell. To be a mystery, she has a one
- 37:31minute and two seconds. Wasn't so cool that Mike
- 37:47happened. Was calling out affiliates.
- 37:50That was cool. What a stand up guy.
- 37:54He's very brave, very brave. Yeah, Speaking of brave, I
- 37:58punched a Midget yesterday. Good.
- 38:01For you Speaking of, I think you call it dwarves, right?
- 38:07Yeah. Rollo He went up against Kevin
- 38:11Ogar in the live announcement for the Adapted division
- 38:14yesterday. What a Segway by God.
- 38:19It's actually pretty interesting to watch them.
- 38:20They did. Oh they did.
- 38:22Did the box jump after versus? Yeah, yeah.
- 38:26So he got he was in a wheel. Rollo was in a wheelchair and
- 38:30had to do everything. I don't think any able bodied
- 38:33person does more for adaptive CrossFit than Roderick does.
- 38:371400 she's yeah, we're past the 11:12 so she will not have
- 38:41beaten Miss Hannah Hardy. Hannah Hardy's on team meet spin
- 38:47on the barbell spin intramural Open league.
- 38:51I was going to sign. Up.
- 38:52Still a respectable time. Screw you guys over, Tanner's
- 38:55finished. 11:35. Yeah.
- 39:00That's tied for second with ODA Monkevom.
- 39:08Tanner's done, and there's Tyler.
- 39:11OK, good. She should have kept the camera
- 39:14on Tanner and Alexis. I would have said a lot about
- 39:16their relationship, how they, how they interacted after
- 39:20workout. Tyler needs some screen time.
- 39:31Question is can he beat Tyson? 1830 is Tyson Badrin's time.
- 39:41Oh, I wonder, did Alex Kazan do the workout?
- 39:45And that's why Justin Carter is saying that she is not tied for
- 39:47a second. Oh, I bet so.
- 39:55Man, you get a lot on this. What's that?
- 39:58You get a lot of live chat on this, it's hard to keep up.
- 40:03Yeah. Come on Tyler, he looks so shiny
- 40:09a. Little sweaty.
- 40:11Uh oh. Oh dear.
- 40:19There we go. There we go.
- 40:23Tyler has a genie, it looks like, cheering him on.
- 40:26That's good. And a timu keeping it real.
- 40:34It's a good judge. Come on Tyler, back to the wall.
- 40:42For that guys on his last row, he's selling his soul.
- 40:46So is Tyler, but. His wall walls are really good.
- 40:53Anyone who does big steps, you know, they know that they're
- 40:56like capable. I like the tips.
- 40:58They're like just two big steps. It's easy.
- 41:01Yeah. Yeah, OK.
- 41:02Sure. It took me about 25 steps to get
- 41:05in every time. I was doing the I think it was
- 41:09the proven 1. Oh, that was close.
- 41:14And I did 1 and I it was like near the very end of it the
- 41:17proven throwdown and I got to the last one.
- 41:20I literally could not move my last like inch.
- 41:22I. Was like, I can't do it.
- 41:26My arm, my shoulders are so toast.
- 41:27If I move I'm going to just collide.
- 41:30And so that was I had a very bad score.
- 41:33Header would have been proud, I know.
- 41:34Wrapped myself mid wall walk. There you go.
- 41:37Because on my way back down and went back up, I was. 1417 I
- 41:40think he's going to get Tyson, but we'll see.
- 41:43We'll see what his pace is. What was Tyson's time?
- 41:461830 if he doesn't beat him, he definitely just completely
- 41:51crashed. Tyler's also the only one going
- 41:54so ever will be shouting at just him.
- 41:58That's good. The GMI is that there was a girl
- 42:05doing wall walks and her first wall walk sheet absolutely face
- 42:09planted like decked herself as she was judging the next seat
- 42:12and had an ice pack on her nose and lip.
- 42:15What was it she was like coming back down?
- 42:17Yeah, she got up to the top and then it just went like, but she
- 42:21continued on like finish her wall was her deadlifts, I think,
- 42:26and then judged the next round. Oh wow, he's going to beat
- 42:32Chanel. This is a grief role.
- 42:36Yeah, he is not. He is not.
- 42:38Stop at the knees. It's like I don't want to keep
- 42:40going. How fast we got going 13. 1311
- 42:44or 13 is hard to say. She's filming on a Nokia.
- 42:47So a Nokia. I guess the the Wi-Fi went out
- 42:51right before we went live, which was which is good.
- 43:00It looks like 1100, which we're going to be here a while.
- 43:07What'd you set your damper at? I'm always between 7:00 and 8:00
- 43:13no matter what I'm doing. I just always put it there.
- 43:16Dude, that's high. But isn't it the lower you go,
- 43:19the better you are rowing? No.
- 43:22Because you don't need too much feedback.
- 43:24Yeah, no, no, no. Now 7 or 8's great for a Sprint.
- 43:30Most would say put it around A5 for because it's it's more about
- 43:34the stroke pace and how you write, whether it's like fewer
- 43:40polls that are more powerful or faster polls that are a little
- 43:42bit less. Hey, listen, I'm, I'm doing a
- 43:45half marathon on Monday and Jr. has been programming my running.
- 43:52Jr. has been, hey, I wrote 1200 like 7 or 8 is obviously fine
- 43:56for me. He he's programming my running.
- 44:00And as I've said to him, he's like do this out of whatever
- 44:03pace. Do this out of whatever, like in
- 44:04the notes and acidity, like no, like I'm either running or I'm
- 44:09not. They're my two paces.
- 44:11He's like, no, no, you should have a different pace for A5 and
- 44:13tank. He's like, no, no, I need to
- 44:15move or I'm not moving. Does he give you the paces and
- 44:20like per mile or does he actually do the kilometer pace
- 44:24for you? It's all meters, so 1600 meters.
- 44:28And then he's like, this should be, you know, at whatever pace
- 44:31this is at your race. Oh, there it was, 1710.
- 44:36Good job. Oh, he looks angry.
- 44:41He's got great big lats, doesn't he?
- 44:43I don't, I don't know. Look at those big nuts.
- 44:45I'm curious if he's going to beat JY on this.
- 44:50Did John did it, didn't he? You don't know his score.
- 44:52Yeah, I don't. I don't know his time.
- 44:55Probably stop for chicken Nuggets halfway.
- 44:56I will say it looked like John was rowing harder at the end.
- 45:00Was that on his story? Was that is that last row or his
- 45:02first? Yeah, as his last one.
- 45:04He was like, yeah, I'm done. He probably sat on the the boxes
- 45:11for a little bit before he took the Did you watch his 15 or
- 45:1625.2? No, so he was in between.
- 45:22I think it was the bar muscle UPS.
- 45:24He just literally just stopped and sat there and sat on the
- 45:28boxes in the corner and sat there for a good 30 seconds, did
- 45:32a few, sat down again. You know your cardio is bad when
- 45:37you have to stop gymnastics. Yeah, yeah.
- 45:42He's like he was walking, but he took these big long walks and
- 45:45then, yeah, he went. He went and just said the boxes
- 45:50look nice. I'm just going to sit here for a
- 45:52bit. Oh, she has to show the end.
- 45:56Oh, the the he must have to show your calories at the end for the
- 46:01review or whatever. Yeah.
- 46:07What if do you think Tyler will be happy with his performance of
- 46:101710? I mean, yeah.
- 46:15Oh, that's where, yeah, that's where I.
- 46:17Get a sense that he's going to be very angry.
- 46:18I don't think he's going to be happy.
- 46:21I mean, yeah, it's like, what did you expect?
- 46:24That would be my question. That looks happy.
- 46:30Go somewhere quiet please. Quieter.
- 46:41What kind of fucking gym is this?
- 46:43It's like a what I've been told. It's like a rabbit warrant.
- 46:47Just like differently cards. Where is she going to to get the
- 46:57others? There we go.
- 47:10It's like a Rubik's Cube. Yeah, looks like Tyler is
- 47:18working too. Oh, here we go, Tyler 1710.
- 47:27I'm not losing it. Yeah, we got you.
- 47:30We got you. Are you are you happy?
- 47:33You're angry? I think 7010 Are you happy
- 47:36you're angry? I'm.
- 47:38Happy. I I was getting really
- 47:41frustrated before the event started.
- 47:43I was getting tired of waiting. I was getting impatient.
- 47:47So I was getting angry then. So out of character.
- 47:50I'm happy. Yeah.
- 47:51So out of character. What was going on with the the
- 47:56delay? I think it's just athletes being
- 47:59athletes. OK.
- 48:02Got got a quadruple double check everything and I can't, I can't
- 48:06bitch about it like 'cause my entire year doesn't depend on
- 48:11one one video being right or wrong.
- 48:15So but yeah, I'm happy that I finished it.
- 48:23I thought it was going to be a little faster, but that road it
- 48:27might be the hardest draw I've ever done.
- 48:30But were you? You were pulling what, 1100?
- 48:32Yeah. I tried to maintain I the first
- 48:34one I had 12 and then the second one I was trying to I was just
- 48:38trying to keep it above 1000. The you should probably should
- 48:42have upped that damper up to like 7:00 or 8:00.
- 48:45I I go back and forth on it all the time.
- 48:47Like, I don't. I can't ever tell if I want more
- 48:50strokes or harder strokes. I always I have more and harder
- 48:54man. You can never get enough and it
- 48:55can never be hard. Drive hard and fast.
- 49:00That's how I like my strokes. How was that for you all?
- 49:05What happened between Tanner and and Alexis Tanner?
- 49:10She got on the road first, marginally.
- 49:12He got off the road first, marginally.
- 49:16OK. Soon.
- 49:17Finished first. Tanner did by a few seconds.
- 49:23I think Alexis was right around 11:35.
- 49:26I think Tanner was like what, 1120 or something?
- 49:28Yeah, I actually think he was out of shock when he finished.
- 49:32She looked very impressed with Alexis.
- 49:34You would think that hers was second best in the world, but
- 49:37apparently Kotler said it's not second best in the world, which,
- 49:42as Pedro pointed out, that likely means Alex Kuzan is done
- 49:4611135 Yeah. Alex Kuzan.
- 49:51Yeah, a lot of questions on the, a lot of questions on the tape.
- 49:58Was the tape line 30 inches for like segments near the wall or
- 50:03was it just one solid tape? Line I think I I couldn't tell.
- 50:08Did you notice that the tape segments were like 30 inch
- 50:10lines? Hey, did you they were on.
- 50:13They were on mats, weren't they Ordinary on separate mats?
- 50:16We. Yeah, they were on separate
- 50:17mats. I didn't.
- 50:18I didn't check it. I know they were talking about
- 50:20it before the event started, but.
- 50:25Is that to stop people just going out really wide and being
- 50:28finished sooner or what? That's all I can figure.
- 50:32I think I think it was all it that 30 inch line was brought up
- 50:37in what was it 23 when they did the wall walks and the handstand
- 50:42push up workout. Yeah.
- 50:45So I think it was, it was for the handstand push ups.
- 50:49And so they just so just use a 30 inch line.
- 50:53So like that's kind of the standard, but I don't think it
- 50:56matters. Like if you're, if you're doing
- 50:57a wall walk and then put your hands out wider than 30 inches,
- 51:00you're probably doing it wrong. But here's the thing.
- 51:03Like. Anyway, isn't it like you have
- 51:05to go as far away from the like it's the distance to the wall is
- 51:08what's really important because if it's the same distance wall
- 51:11but it's wider, you still have you'd have to go further out if
- 51:15you're going really wide. I mean it is still the standard
- 51:18so it should be held but. That's right.
- 51:21Yeah, that shouldn't matter. That's a stupid rule.
- 51:26I think that's a lot like a oh, the burpees, The burpees over
- 51:31the dumbbells. It's like it's bad by design.
- 51:34Yeah, it's a stupid rule, in the same way as athletes must start
- 51:37at their barbell. Facing the wall is a stupid
- 51:39rule, but everyone should still do it.
- 51:41Yeah, I'm going to get everybody on there all.
- 51:44Right. Cool.
- 51:56How do we sound? Can we hear you?
- 52:01Yeah, we can hear you. Can you hear us?
- 52:05Yes. Alexis.
- 52:09You mean my? Time is good time.
- 52:10I don't know. I was dying so.
- 52:13We think it's about third, joint third or maybe 4th world.
- 52:18That it would be a world record time, but it's not.
- 52:21He didn't say yeah, I don't think it.
- 52:25No. Oh, you would have.
- 52:26We think, we think your joint. Oh, there it goes.
- 52:28Fucking out. Go back.
- 52:30Let's go. Back.
- 52:37Can you hear us now? Yeah, it's.
- 52:40Still hot yeah it's and also the music was so low I.
- 52:44Know we. Should have our music.
- 52:45Was I not said something can. You hear us at all, man.
- 52:48Yeah, we can hear you. Can you hear us?
- 52:49So mad. Here you guys we.
- 52:51Can hear you talking about us as if we're not even here Take.
- 52:54That one can you take this one the?
- 52:57Only one has liked it. Maybe just don't use the
- 53:00headphones? Close enough, it doesn't matter.
- 53:04Oh, now we can hear you guys. There we go.
- 53:07Good job guys. Appreciate.
- 53:10It thanks. Thanks.
- 53:13Yeah, Alexis, looked like you were 11:35 or so.
- 53:18Tanner 11:20 There's like. Dog making Tanner's back,
- 53:23especially. You got to get a spray sheet.
- 53:30I wish, I wish I was that dog. Yeah, we cannot hear Tanner.
- 53:33Oh, wait. No, I think the mic is in Alexis
- 53:39as a headphone, Yeah, maybe just don't use the headphones.
- 53:45Can you guys hear me now? Yeah.
- 53:47Awesome. So we've been doing these wagers
- 53:49every week head to And he was like 2 minutes and I
- 54:02was like, I'm not overly confident in that.
- 54:06But we, we watched Kristen Holt to do it.
- 54:10She was like 1143 something like that, which was 2 minutes behind
- 54:13Hopper and Sprague. So I'm like, well, maybe Kyle's
- 54:16right. I don't know if I have quite the
- 54:17fitness that's Hopper and Sprague or Kristen Holt to have,
- 54:20but we'll give it a shot. Was there forfeits involved with
- 54:25the bat or no? Say that one more time.
- 54:29Was there forfeits involved with the wager or no?
- 54:33No one week we week two we thought about doing letting her
- 54:38shave my head, but I said I'll do it as long as we measure my
- 54:42hair and you cut off the same amount of inches on your head
- 54:45and my hair was longer than it is now and she wasn't quite on
- 54:48board with cutting off like that much hair.
- 54:50So she she forfeited. She ended up winning anyway.
- 54:56This. Is all irrelevant.
- 55:03Alexis, when you when you were starting, like did you have any
- 55:09goals or you know, marks that you're trying to hit as you're
- 55:13working through this chipper? You cut out there because we
- 55:19heard chipper and goals. Yeah.
- 55:21Did you have any goals like before you started the workout
- 55:24trying to trying to work through that, you know, were you trying
- 55:29to set the the time did? You have timestamps.
- 55:36The audio is great. Lose the headphones.
- 55:37Just lose the headphones. Disconnect the headphones and
- 55:39just talk to us through the last set.
- 55:40Disconnect. 1. More oh, giant hand.
- 55:49You guys should be using some ESC sounds headphones.
- 55:53OK, Yeah, we can hear you now. Yeah, yeah, no, I didn't even
- 55:57look at the clock. I didn't know what a game really
- 56:01was except for. So I kind of just went as hard
- 56:09as I could. I had a plan, Deadlifts I wanted
- 56:12to do 4 sets, ball locks were to smooth kind of like the rest.
- 56:17And then I wanted to chip away at singles, fast singles on the
- 56:22cleans and then just like fives and threes on the snatches and
- 56:28hammer the row like whatever I had.
- 56:32And then I don't really care about like the times exactly.
- 56:35I didn't really have a plan there.
- 56:38How was that second row when you're, you know, you're, you're
- 56:43racing Tanner, did you, did you see how close he was to you?
- 56:48Yeah, I knew. I knew where he was.
- 56:50And Katie in my ears, she's like, you got to be.
- 56:53I mean, I knew you were going to like pass me at the end, just
- 56:55like barely. But not a rowers.
- 57:02Like the whole workout I was like, I just don't want to get
- 57:05to the row yet. And then you get to the row and
- 57:07it like I felt like we got to the row so fast, but it was so
- 57:13fast too. It's over before you know it.
- 57:14So it was fun. How long have you been at
- 57:20Westfield training with Tanner? I got here right before the
- 57:27open, like a week before maybe? She's a she's a couple years too
- 57:32late. I'd be a lot thinner if she came
- 57:34here a couple years ago. Are you guys doing the same
- 57:38programming then? I, I try to do as much as I can
- 57:43with her, but coach is actually Kyle Ruth, Kyle coaches me and
- 57:49Adam also coaches Kyle. They see each other all the
- 57:52time, so they're able to blend like a really nice program.
- 57:57But yeah, I, I feel like I'd benefit the most from being with
- 58:01her as me probably feels the same.
- 58:02That's part of the reason she's obviously here is to have a
- 58:04training partner. So it's not 100% of the worse,
- 58:09even if we're in the building, you know, and around each other,
- 58:13but not necessarily doing the same exact thing all the time.
- 58:15It's it's been pretty fluid. Do you guys hang out much
- 58:19outside of training or is it just joint training?
- 58:25Yeah, we we hang out a little bit outside.
- 58:27You can't. Not too much.
- 58:29We don't want to get sick of you.
- 58:33Yeah, but there's not a lot of time outside of training.
- 58:37That's fair. Do you?
- 58:40What are what are both of your plans for the rest of the
- 58:44season? Like Alexis, are you, you're
- 58:46going to, are you going to mayhem?
- 58:50Yep, going to Mayhem in a couple weeks and then hopefully qualify
- 58:55or I will qualify for the games. And then what's after that?
- 59:00World fitness projects here in Indiana And then what is it?
- 59:07The Cross the games World Fitness project 2.
- 59:11It's your SO Cal. It's your SoCal Rogue World
- 59:15finished project. All back half year, pretty
- 59:18stocked. Yeah, it's go, go, go.
- 59:22It's busy here. How do you how do you how sorry
- 59:26one SEC just while Alexis is detailing our season, how do you
- 59:29feel at this stage of this season compared to at the same
- 59:33stage of last season? Like, do you feel like you're in
- 59:37a better position, better prepared?
- 59:39Oh, all around better. I don't think I've ever been
- 59:44this fit this time of year. I mean, I I trained pretty hard
- 59:49for Wadapalooza and then I just felt like I kept my fitness from
- 59:55there and I've just built off of it.
- 59:57So the plan is to just kind of keep doing that, like slowly
- 1:00:01keep building and building until and then obviously have my peaks
- 1:00:05like a few different peaks throughout the year, but.
- 1:00:09Yeah, I've just had really, really good training the past
- 1:00:13six months. You look totally different, like
- 1:00:16even the video that you did and then like looking at you there
- 1:00:21and that workout, you look physiologically different than
- 1:00:24you did last remarked. Oh, of last year, yeah.
- 1:00:29Oh yeah. I mean, yeah.
- 1:00:32Like I figured out my gut issues and that was literally
- 1:00:37everything. Like, it's crazy.
- 1:00:39It's insane. Yeah.
- 1:00:43Last year March, I was still like, really just kind of going
- 1:00:47through it really fit. But I mean, you can only go so
- 1:00:52hard when you're dealing with stuff like that.
- 1:00:55So I feel like all the the puzzle pieces are kind of coming
- 1:00:59together and everything's not quite perfect yet.
- 1:01:03Still. Like there's been so much going
- 1:01:05on. Like I've gotten like sick more
- 1:01:09in the past six months than I have in a while.
- 1:01:11I don't know, this has just been a really bad year for like flu
- 1:01:14and stuff apparently. Like I had pneumonia last week.
- 1:01:18Never had that in my life. So I'm really looking forward to
- 1:01:22like normal healthy, like real healthy training because I got a
- 1:01:26little taste of it and then whatever.
- 1:01:29I've just been getting sick. But hopefully it was like the
- 1:01:32weather getting nicer and getting on like a good plan.
- 1:01:38I'm going to be having a really good year.
- 1:01:40Wait, so you had you had pneumonia during 25.2?
- 1:01:45Both I had, I found out last Monday and then I did the open
- 1:01:51on Friday with it and then I ended up yeah, I was sick for
- 1:01:58like literally 14 days thinking, oh, I'm just going to like get
- 1:02:01over it, I'll be fine. But I I it was weird.
- 1:02:05Like I felt like I slowly got better and then I would work out
- 1:02:08hard. One day my body was just like
- 1:02:10tanking again. And I went and saw the doctor
- 1:02:13and, and she was just like, yeah, you have walking
- 1:02:15pneumonia. Like you literally need to get
- 1:02:17on antibiotics. This isn't going to go away.
- 1:02:19I was like, are you kidding me? So.
- 1:02:23But she she actually, what was crazy was there was videos
- 1:02:27dropping about her at Waterpalooza like with tear and
- 1:02:29it's like her journey to getting healthy.
- 1:02:32So people thought she was healthy, but she actually had
- 1:02:33the flu at Waterpalooza. My stomach was healthy, like my
- 1:02:36gut was healthy, yeah. It was about the gut.
- 1:02:39But I could not breathe. And then she like.
- 1:02:41Ran long during every workout there.
- 1:02:44And she never really got healthy because she came here like what,
- 1:02:47a week after Waterpalooza, 10 days, something like that.
- 1:02:50I literally have been so sick like but everyone has like I
- 1:02:53know people everywhere have my friends.
- 1:02:56Everyone at Water Blues I had the flu.
- 1:02:58Like everyone, it was, it was disgusting.
- 1:03:00Everyone was sick. Either they got it before or
- 1:03:03after, like everyone. So yeah, it's going to be, I
- 1:03:08mean, that was like the first. I haven't really done too much
- 1:03:12CrossFit since having like the pneumonia thing.
- 1:03:14But yeah, it's going to be insane.
- 1:03:17It's crazy to see. I mean, I've been around, I've
- 1:03:19never trained on site. Like I guess it the year I went
- 1:03:22team and turning think, think I spent more time down there, but
- 1:03:25I've been around some of the best in the world for a couple
- 1:03:27days here, a few days there. And even when she's been sick,
- 1:03:30it's been so impressive to see what she's able to bring when
- 1:03:33she's sick and you just know how sick she is because you're with
- 1:03:36her all day. So like this past week, she
- 1:03:39really started to kind of get over the hill and it was just
- 1:03:43the demeanor and the attention to detail that level of
- 1:03:46intensity. It, it all is like ramped up and
- 1:03:48it's like I actually was thinking to myself, I'll never
- 1:03:50be able to get like when I got into the sport, I kind of like
- 1:03:54was starstruck the first time I saw Noah or Sarah Sigmund's
- 1:03:57daughter year round, those types of people.
- 1:03:59And I, I'm just confident now like there's no one I could
- 1:04:03train with that's as good as she is or that will give me that
- 1:04:05type of life feeling because I, I feel like I'm literally
- 1:04:08training with the best every day.
- 1:04:11So it's just super impressive. Yeah, it's crazy.
- 1:04:14Two top 30 in the world finishes with pneumonia.
- 1:04:21You know what's crazy, though? No.
- 1:04:22No, no rechash either. Yeah, everyone's like how did
- 1:04:25you coolest thing ever? Like once 321 go oh, wait, like
- 1:04:36that was bad, bad mistake. But I mean, I had to do it like,
- 1:04:43yeah. Yeah, that's wild.
- 1:04:46And, and Tanner, are you? Are you doing the World Fitness
- 1:04:50project? Are you?
- 1:04:51What are your plans for the rest of the season?
- 1:04:53Yeah, I kind of went into the year with like I had a little
- 1:04:56bit of AI, got sick last year during quarters, so I didn't get
- 1:05:00to do semis because I just wasn't myself.
- 1:05:02But I came off of a good finish worldwide last year in the open,
- 1:05:05feeling pretty good. Trained all summer, got what's
- 1:05:12this I ever been. I think I finished 8th and then
- 1:05:16there wasn't really anything else, didn't want to lose up.
- 1:05:18But then when her and I started talking about training together,
- 1:05:21I basically told her like I'm, I don't do this like as a
- 1:05:24professional full time, like her sponsors and all that.
- 1:05:27And so really my goal is to like help her, you know, be as
- 1:05:32prepared and as fit as possible, but at the same time like, you
- 1:05:34know, I'm going to be super fit as well.
- 1:05:37And the fitter I am, the more it helps her.
- 1:05:39So when World Fitness Project announced that they were going
- 1:05:42to be, it's literally like 4 minutes from where we're sitting
- 1:05:44right now, it's in our backyard. So that made sense for me to
- 1:05:47kind of do that qualifier. And I knew that with only 10
- 1:05:50spots, it's kind of like Rogue. It's going to be a tough
- 1:05:52qualifier, but I'm going to kind of put my eggs into that basket
- 1:05:57and do that. And then I found out you'll.
- 1:05:59You'll have to go through me because you'll have to go
- 1:06:01through me because I am a, a challenger as well.
- 1:06:04So just watching. Yeah, yeah, that'd be sweet.
- 1:06:09And then I found out last Saturday morning that I was, if
- 1:06:12you're top 20 in the read or top 20 in the continent, you can
- 1:06:15qualify for a semi final. So I guess I was in the mix.
- 1:06:18I was getting tagged online but didn't see it for some reason.
- 1:06:22So now. Hang on, say that again.
- 1:06:23In your top 20 What? Top 20 in the open.
- 1:06:26American. In your in your region.
- 1:06:31That's separate to the 1% thing. Yeah.
- 1:06:34So Syndicate Crown is top 20 in the open in North America East
- 1:06:38and Tanner is 17th going into Week 3.
- 1:06:43So he would right now get a qualifying spot to Syndicate
- 1:06:47Crown. Yeah.
- 1:06:49So that'll be cool. If I mean, if I qualify, great.
- 1:06:52I'm not like committing to that event because who knows what the
- 1:06:54season brings. But I would say there's a good,
- 1:06:58I would say there's a good chance if I'm in the top 20 that
- 1:07:00I would have syndicate marked on the calendar.
- 1:07:04It's cool to to be, I don't think I've ever been top 20 in
- 1:07:07the region. So that'd be pretty cool.
- 1:07:09But again, I don't do this school time and it's not like my
- 1:07:13main priority. So just kind of take it day by
- 1:07:15day, week by week and have fun with it and hope, hope we can
- 1:07:19make this girl the fittest, fittest on earth.
- 1:07:23Be good. Well, I appreciate you guys
- 1:07:26letting us watch you guys do 25.3 live.
- 1:07:29No redos. You want it done?
- 1:07:32Yeah, not. This, not this one.
- 1:07:35We've got like we've got like 12 minutes if you want to just run
- 1:07:38out real quick. I'm good.
- 1:07:42Have you guys done it? I did it, yeah.
- 1:07:45Not yet. Pedro was.
- 1:07:48Close me doing it and you doing it is sort of like, it's like
- 1:07:52watching someone in kindergarten draw a picture versus like going
- 1:07:55to look at the Mona Lisa. You did though, so.
- 1:08:01Yeah, that's true. Hey.
- 1:08:03What did, what did what did Taylor Self get?
- 1:08:05Do you guys know what he got last night?
- 1:08:0713 Something, 1325. Wait, Taylor was 1325?
- 1:08:12No, he wasn't. Because I remember he was, he
- 1:08:14had said yesterday on on spin or Savan or something that I was
- 1:08:18going to pace it wrong pace it like an an F an idiot, I think
- 1:08:21he said. So hopefully I was able to to
- 1:08:23get him tonight. There's no way.
- 1:08:26There's no way, Taylor swore. I don't buy.
- 1:08:29It yeah, no way. That doesn't sound right.
- 1:08:33He did it in OH. My hang on, do you have?
- 1:08:38Sorry 1135. Sorry. 11. 35 he I think he's
- 1:08:43also going to redo it because he wasn't happy with how he did.
- 1:08:46Yeah, well, your time. I think that's.
- 1:08:48If he redoes it, he's going to someone's got to tell me because
- 1:08:51then I might have to redo it. I got to beat him on this one
- 1:08:52since he said I I'm going to pace it right.
- 1:08:56I think he said he was going to so.
- 1:08:59Yeah, he's well. We'll see.
- 1:09:04Are you in Ireland right now? England, yeah.
- 1:09:08What's the time there? Same difference. 10:00 PM.
- 1:09:12I'm usually in Ireland, but I'm actually happened to be in
- 1:09:14England today. OK, very cool span.
- 1:09:17Where do you live? I'm down in Nashville.
- 1:09:21Oh dope, so so. Yeah, that's only so.

- 1:09:34I'll, I'll go. I'll be there because JD James
- 1:09:36E, the guy that owns the gym, he's going to do age group
- 1:09:39semifinals down there and then obviously she'll be competing.

- 1:12:06I'm just. Kidding.
- 1:12:08I wish I was fitter but not that bad.
- 1:12:11Not enough to actually earn it. Do we know any good good guys

- 1:12:501058 for Maniola is pretty impressive.
- 1:12:54Yeah, what are you doing in England?
- 1:12:58I was at methods like CrossFit Northumbria.
- 1:13:01They have the highest second highest signups in the world.
- 1:13:05What was that like? Pretty intense.
- 1:13:08It's a really, it's a really cool gym, really incredibly well
- 1:13:13ran. Yeah, he the guy is just, he's
- 1:13:19like honest. He's definitely got like OCD,
- 1:13:22but it like, it's a really good gym.
- 1:13:24Really, really impressed. Yeah.
- 1:13:29I think that's that's something that I think Tanner wanted to
- 1:13:32highlight more than we were able to highlight is like what this
- 1:13:35this community here is like and what the open is really like it
- 1:13:40at gyms that care and gyms that still push the open is totally
- 1:13:44different, different atmosphere. I haven't been in one like this
- 1:13:47and in quite some time. So it's cool when you can get to
- 1:13:50a gym. That I saw Mr. Potato Head, like
- 1:13:53if it's a, if it's not a regular, you know, if they're
- 1:13:55not pushing the open, you don't see Mr. Potato Head doing well.
- 1:13:59I think there are multiple potato heads Mr. Potato Head So
- 1:14:03that must be get confusing throughout the year.
- 1:14:06I'm sure, I'm sure. What are you guys doing?
- 1:14:10Are you going back down to Bloomington after this or you
- 1:14:13hanging out with? Might get some pizza, might
- 1:14:18train with Tanner and Alexis, who knows.
- 1:14:22No, there is. They have Little Caesars in
- 1:14:27there and it's been eyeing me down since I walked in the
- 1:14:30building. Little Caesars.
- 1:14:32Yeah. What's it in Caesars?
- 1:14:34Trash pizza. You sound like you sound like
- 1:14:37John. No, John.
- 1:14:41John's move is to buy double date.
- 1:14:44Yeah, Jeanette and I have a double date with the kid.
- 1:14:49We got to get her food and in bed before she gets cranky.
- 1:14:55Has she done the work? Has she done the Open?
- 1:14:58She did. You did the first one.
- 1:15:00Did you do the first one RX? Yeah, she did the first one RX,
- 1:15:03and then the second one you scaled a little bit.
- 1:15:06Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:15:07She did everything but the gymnastics RX, and then she's
- 1:15:11going to do this one. Are you going to do this one?
- 1:15:13All right, Yeah. Tell her if she wants to make if
- 1:15:20she wants to make up some time. Just like slide down from the
- 1:15:24wall walks every time. Well, speed up the birds a.
- 1:15:28Little bit more important, you know, like, is it the score?
- 1:15:31Is it baby? Whatever.
- 1:15:37She said she got a bunch of like people were because she posted
- 1:15:40some video a couple weeks ago during the first one.
- 1:15:42Like people were like telling her to be careful.
- 1:15:44It's like the same. People fucking love giving
- 1:15:46advice. Yeah, it's the fucking worst.
- 1:15:48It's like these people never train, they never do shit, and
- 1:15:51they're all of a sudden like, oh, be careful.
- 1:15:52It's like fuck off. Yeah, where do you have the
- 1:15:55baby? Janelle.
- 1:15:58Janelle Winston, isn't she Weeks from delivery?
- 1:16:01We're like 7 weeks, seven or eight weeks, yeah.
- 1:16:08Yeah, maybe that, right, right for that syndicate, right.
- 1:16:14Yeah, man, it's been, it's been like, because we have calls once
- 1:16:20a week for syndicate planning that stuff.
- 1:16:22And it reminds me every time, like I'll get off the phone and
- 1:16:26then with like Wilson and the guys and then I'll be like, oh
- 1:16:29shit. Like I'll remember Jeanette's
- 1:16:31pregnant and that's all is happening at the same time.
- 1:16:35It's one of those things where it's like you just don't look at
- 1:16:37the road. Just just don't.
- 1:16:42But Pedro, didn't you like, weren't we doing a bunch of
- 1:16:46stuff when you had a baby last? Yeah, it was like May May 16th
- 1:16:53or something, right in the middle of.
- 1:16:55Semi final seus. Yeah, I remember, I think.
- 1:16:59That was #3 though. Yeah, it's a little easier.
- 1:17:04She could have done it on her own.
- 1:17:05I didn't even need to be there, just needed a doctor and a
- 1:17:09catcher's Mitt. Right.
- 1:17:12A good sneeze. I don't think she'd agree with
- 1:17:17that, but hey. Yeah, she doesn't watch the
- 1:17:18show. That's fine.
- 1:17:19That's good. Oh man, well I was good.
- 1:17:25Thank you Pedro for my pleasure joining.
- 1:17:29I will say that was the worst I I ever wanted to quit a workout.
- 1:17:34And I knew that you guys were all watching and I was like,
- 1:17:36this fucking sucks. I I wanted to hide so much in
- 1:17:41the middle of that. Well, the good news is we are
- 1:17:43focused more on Alexis and Tanner during the the the middle
- 1:17:48part of that. So when you were doing your your
- 1:17:50mercy cleans, we didn't get to see that.
- 1:17:53When I was doing my snatches, when they were like starting to
- 1:17:57finish, I think Tanner finished and I was like, shit, I've got
- 1:18:00to finish these snatches and get on the rower so people aren't
- 1:18:04watching me for like 10 minutes while they're done.
- 1:18:08That's. Exactly.
- 1:18:09That's exactly how it happened, yes.
- 1:18:11Yeah, it was. I was, I was very nervous.
- 1:18:14I was like get get out of this. The snatch, the cleans are the
- 1:18:17hardest part. The cleans fuck up the entire
- 1:18:19workout by far. Oh wow, I totally disagree.
- 1:18:24Really. Yeah.
- 1:18:27Dude. I found the deadlifts worse than
- 1:18:30the cleans. Oh no, but.
- 1:18:35I guess I'm like, it's yeah, the cleans are like I'm kind of
- 1:18:41that'll be around my OK, I can keep doing this way.
- 1:18:44Whereas like I'm absolutely dog shit at deadlifts.
- 1:18:49So the first, the first deadlift I was like, oh, oh, where is the
- 1:18:52first clean? I was like wow this feels so
- 1:18:54like compared to the deadlifts. I was trying, I was trying like
- 1:18:58hell to get through the the deadlifts just because I knew
- 1:19:01that that's a little bit of an easier movement for me.
- 1:19:04It's something I don't mind going touch and go on.
- 1:19:07But then I knew I was going to have to take my time on the
- 1:19:09cleans because I hate cycling. I just hate barbell cycling
- 1:19:12period. Maybe like snatch or clean off
- 1:19:15the ground that you have to do multiple times.
- 1:19:16I I can't stand it and so I thought the cleans were going to
- 1:19:21end much faster than they did the.
- 1:19:25Wall walks no problem. I like wall walks or I don't.
- 1:19:29I wouldn't I, I shouldn't say I like them.
- 1:19:33I'm just not bad at them. Once you, like get really used
- 1:19:37to the systemized like 4 steps, yeah, big steps where it's not
- 1:19:42like where you're not reaching too much, but you're moving
- 1:19:44quickly. Once you get that and like you
- 1:19:47can do that robotically, they're easy.
- 1:19:52So I was those were just like an impediment for me.
- 1:19:56Yeah, I I think wall walks will be the the hold up for me
- 1:20:00unfortunately. Who was it?
- 1:20:04I think Perrin might have a video on like TTT and I found
- 1:20:08that I found that one to be really useful, just that she's
- 1:20:11very systematic about it. But I like I like breaking down
- 1:20:15movements that way, like even the clean or other movements, I
- 1:20:19like to break them down like into four different pieces and
- 1:20:21like just drill the hell out of it and see, I think she had a
- 1:20:24really good video for that one. So.
- 1:20:27Parent put up her age on her story the other day and I can't
- 1:20:30remember what it was, but I remember thinking like, there's
- 1:20:32absolutely no way that that's true too.
- 1:20:37Too old. Yeah, I think, I think she said
- 1:20:40she's like 38 or something. And I was like, what do you?
- 1:20:42Think she's Asian Dude, are you surprised?
- 1:20:45Well, yeah, isn't it like black Don't crack what do?
- 1:20:48Asians do Asians. Asians look 30 until they're 90
- 1:20:52years old and then they look 560.
- 1:20:57Yeah, parents 38. Wow, she looks great for 38.
- 1:21:02She's not like 38. No, I honestly thought she was
- 1:21:06like the same age as me. Yeah, look what I can do to my
- 1:21:10head. It's impressive.
- 1:21:16That's age, man. That's old.
- 1:21:19All right, how old are you, 38? 30 six.
- 1:21:27I'm actually, I'm not even confident I might be 35.
- 1:21:30I think I'm 36 you. Guys are young.
- 1:21:32You look better than you did last year.
- 1:21:35I look and feel like I'm 43. Did you feel 56 last year?
- 1:21:42Yeah, 48. All right, guys, Sorry.
- 1:21:47Go get some. Go get some Little Caesars,
- 1:21:49Pedro. Get some sleep.
