- 1:16It was something I knew that
- 1:17was nutritious.
- 1:18I needed some protein.
- 1:19Why not get some omega-3s in the process?
- 1:22And kicked it up.
- 1:23So I didn't do Cinco de Mayo.
- 1:24I just did something that I
- 1:25knew I was going to like.
- 1:28Aaron smoked a pork butt.

- 1:48this week with the crew
- 1:51First of all,
- 1:52leaderboards finalized this week.
- 1:55So congratulations, Carolyn.
- 1:57Congratulations, Jamie.
- 1:59You are both moving on to
- 2:00the next level of competition,
- 2:02both in very good standing.
- 2:05Jamie,
- 2:05you're going into age group this
- 2:07week in the third position
- 2:09in your age group.
- 2:10Carolyn,
- 2:11you're going into the elite in
- 2:12North America East in the sixth position.
- 2:16So kudos to both of you.
- 2:18That is freaking awesome.
- 2:20Thank you.
- 2:24Then that wasn't good enough for Jamie.
- 2:27She wanted to find a way to
- 2:28pay her way to the games.
- 2:30Yeah.
- 2:32So on Saturday,
- 2:33when Siobhan did the Kill Taylor episode,
- 2:39Jamie texted in to get the
- 2:41link and went ahead and
- 2:42went mano a womano with
- 2:46Taylor Self and actually
- 2:48represented really well.
- 2:50You kicked ass.
- 2:52So proud of you.
- 2:53Thanks.
- 2:54Nice work.
- 2:56Those boxes were taller than you.
- 2:58Yeah, that was silly.
- 3:01I mean,
- 3:02there's a reason no other women
- 3:04called in.
- 3:06That's just not... If that
- 3:07was a workout that he or JR
- 3:10programmed for a competition,
- 3:12that would never be how it
- 3:14would be programmed.
- 3:17Yeah,
- 3:18that's a tough one for the woman to
- 3:20be... I mean, he...
- 3:21Annihilated that freaking workout.
- 3:23He crushed that workout.
- 3:25He was going to win regardless.
- 3:27There was nobody going to beat him.
- 3:28No, I don't think so.
- 3:31Not unless they position
- 3:32their things the closest possible.
- 3:34There's just no way.
- 3:35It would have had to have
- 3:38been 42 inches on the box.
- 3:41Just because the 21 bar muscle-ups,
- 3:44I just feel like most guys
- 3:46at the end of a lot of
- 3:46pressing would already be probably...
- 3:50better suited to stay on the
- 3:51bar for unbroken although
- 3:52many girls will can do it
- 3:54on broken I just think with
- 3:56the amount of explosive
- 3:57pressing in the burpee box
- 3:58jump over burpee getovers
- 4:01it's a tough one for uh for
- 4:03the females to match yeah
- 4:07that would always be for 48
- 4:0840 is what you always find
- 4:10like um see I go I go 48 42
- 4:12when I program
- 4:16That's weird because you
- 4:17just take your boxes.
- 4:18I never use boxes.
- 4:22I use walks.
- 4:23It's always boxes.
- 4:25Walks.
- 4:26No.
- 4:28The games is going to pull in their boxes.
- 4:30I even went back and looked
- 4:32at the Mac workout and it was 48-40.
- 4:36I think it was hardcore
- 4:40parkour or whatever was the workout.
- 4:43That's just...
- 4:45D Reed says,
- 4:47if the box was lowered and the
- 4:48Cal increased,
- 4:50would it have made a difference?
- 4:52Oh, I think,
- 4:53I think they could go 2016 on the cows.
- 4:56Was it, what was it for you?
- 4:57It was 21,
- 4:5915 and I would have been fine with 21,
- 5:0116.
- 5:02Yeah.
- 5:0321, 18 to go.
- 5:05Yeah.
- 5:06You were,
- 5:07you were 18 seconds ahead of him
- 5:08off the row.
- 5:11Yeah.
- 5:11I mean,
- 5:13so a couple more calories wouldn't have,
- 5:15slowed you that much right
- 5:18compared to the box slowing
- 5:20you down and fatiguing you
- 5:21yeah I have a giant bruise
- 5:24and I even wore my um
- 5:27knee sleeves down around my shins.
- 5:29Cause that's so high for me that like,
- 5:32like you could see him,
- 5:33he's able to like get his
- 5:34foot up there and shoot the leg through.
- 5:36It's so high for me that I
- 5:38have to like put my shin on
- 5:40the box and climb up and
- 5:42push off my shin.
- 5:43It's just not, yeah, it's, it's,
- 5:47I don't know.
- 5:47It was, it was a little silly.
- 5:48I just,
- 5:49I know that's not how he would
- 5:50program it anywhere else.
- 5:52And like, I get it.
- 5:53You don't want to be beat, but no,
- 5:55there wasn't going to be a female.
- 5:57Look at any shoulder fatigue workout ever.
- 6:02The women, like,
- 6:03unless you're Tia and Tia's
- 6:05not calling in to compete against you,
- 6:06you don't have to worry about it.
- 6:09You did well though.
- 6:11Thanks.
- 6:12We're proud of you.
- 6:13Yeah.
- 6:14I was super impressed.
- 6:16Um, cause until Brandon went, you,
- 6:19you were the fastest time.
- 6:22Well,
- 6:22that's what's like even more frustrating.
- 6:24It,
- 6:24it makes it look like I'm not a very
- 6:26good athlete.
- 6:28It does not make that.
- 6:29Yes, it does.
- 6:30No.
- 6:31Dude,
- 6:31I went back and read all the comments.
- 6:34People are like, oh,
- 6:35I wish a real semi-finalist
- 6:37athlete would call in and
- 6:38actually try to like make some money to,
- 6:41to pave their way to semis.
- 6:43Yeah.
- 6:45That's the type of chat
- 6:48people that can be in certain places.
- 6:54Yeah, I agree with Bruce wholeheartedly.
- 6:56That is BS.
- 6:57No.
- 6:58No, you kicked ass.
- 7:01People are delusional.
- 7:02Well,
- 7:04the problem is there's not another
- 7:06girl to show you a time,
- 7:08and I just look worse.
- 7:10Yeah.
- 7:12You may know,
- 7:13but the general public
- 7:15watching it is just like, yeah, I mean,
- 7:16she was a minute slower than Taylor.
- 7:18You can tell by the way that
- 7:20Hiller and Savon were rooting for you.
- 7:23It was different.
- 7:25Like, ignore those other people.
- 7:28They're dumb.
- 7:30Thank you.
- 7:31Ignore it.
- 7:32That's just people.
- 7:34And that's a tough movement
- 7:35on your shoulder, isn't it?
- 7:36Like,
- 7:36isn't that one of the movements that
- 7:38hurt your labrum?
- 7:40yeah it and like it is what
- 7:43it is I said I had said I
- 7:44would call in and I wasn't
- 7:45gonna back off of what I'd
- 7:47said I would do I can't do
- 7:48I can't do this weekend
- 7:49with so like I saw I the
- 7:51problem is I love bar
- 7:52muscle ups I'm very good at
- 7:54them um but yes in a in
- 7:58like a fatigue with that 48
- 8:00inches of burpee box get
- 8:01overs it's a little much on
- 8:03my shoulder right now and
- 8:04that's why I came down
- 8:05twice because I could feel at the bottom
- 8:08Which, you know, like Taylor's like,
- 8:09you got to fix your kip.
- 8:11You got to fix your,
- 8:11like I have right now have
- 8:13to hold very tight to like,
- 8:15not let my shoulder slip out of socket.
- 8:17So they weren't my prettiest
- 8:18bar muscle ups.
- 8:18I have good bar muscle ups.
- 8:20I,
- 8:21they look better than that at most times.
- 8:22I've just was trying to get
- 8:23through a workout, um,
- 8:27but yeah it was it was
- 8:29probably more than I needed
- 8:30to do on my shoulder I'd
- 8:31already done murph prep
- 8:32that morning with my class
- 8:34in a vest pull-ups push-ups
- 8:36so yeah it was it was
- 8:37probably more than I needed
- 8:38to do on my shoulder but I
- 8:40said I would call in so I
- 8:41was good true to my word
- 8:42and called in judy reed
- 8:46stop it no one thought
- 8:48badly of you everyone was
- 8:49so impressed and then she
- 8:53says carolyn you're up next weekend then
- 8:56I am doing a mock weekend
- 8:58this upcoming weekend.
- 9:02So before we get into all that stuff,
- 9:04last thing we're going to
- 9:05talk about is I went on
- 9:08Coffee Pods and Wads.
- 9:12And because Carolyn set the bar so high,
- 9:14I had to go in prepared and
- 9:19came with some haymakers.
- 9:21Really kind of figured out
- 9:24what I needed to do to get points.
- 9:26Um, but yet stay within my belief system.
- 9:30It's very hard though,
- 9:31because you want to explain
- 9:32it and you have no time.
- 9:35You did well though.
- 9:36Like you're, you're direct.
- 9:38It was good points.
- 9:40Like it was good.
- 9:41I was impressed.
- 9:42Yeah.
- 9:42The first one I talked so fast,
- 9:43I was done in 45 seconds.
- 9:46So I had room for a little bit more, but,
- 9:49um,
- 9:51I had my notes.
- 9:51I had to narrow down to just
- 9:53like the points I wanted to hit.
- 9:55And then what I wanted to
- 9:56hit in the rebuttal,
- 9:58leaving some room that if
- 9:59someone said something that
- 10:01I wanted to react to, I could.
- 10:02That was good.
- 10:06But the coolest part is I,
- 10:09I dogged Adam clink in the
- 10:11show about being out of
- 10:12stock in their running shoes.
- 10:14And now I'm getting a pair in the mail.
- 10:18He's Brad, right?
- 10:20Yeah.
- 10:20Nice.
- 10:23My goal is to start running.
- 10:27Doing some longer walks with
- 10:29some jogs into some runs.
- 10:32And I wanted to get some
- 10:32nice running shoes to start
- 10:34that off with.
- 10:35I've heard good things about them.
- 10:38Well,
- 10:38he said the reason they were out of
- 10:39stock is they had to rework
- 10:40them all and redesign them.
- 10:44so um I think I'm getting
- 10:47the redesigned version
- 10:49let's hope yeah so cool
- 10:52yeah that's awesome yeah I
- 10:54know kenneth has been uh
- 10:58ringing the bell to get me
- 10:59on there so thank you very
- 11:00much for that it was fun I
- 11:01had a blast um yeah I
- 11:04really enjoyed both hattie
- 11:05or harriet and um and adam
- 11:09they're they're really good people
- 11:11So, and it's,
- 11:12it's cool because Peter and I,
- 11:14I know him as Peter.
- 11:15We started our podcast
- 11:16within a month of each other and we've,
- 11:20we have talked the entire
- 11:21time we've been doing this.
- 11:22So it was fun to go on a show and do that.
- 11:25So that was awesome.
- 11:28All right.
- 11:30So quarterfinal results are official.
- 11:33Then there was a leak.
- 11:36Of two workouts,
- 11:38and then within two hours after that,
- 11:42the full release of the team was out.
- 11:45And what's crazy is I was on
- 11:46the air with Jamie's coach.
- 11:48The team workouts came on.
- 11:49We were going to go off the air.
- 11:51We quickly pivoted,
- 11:53stayed on the air to go
- 11:54through the team workouts,
- 11:57went off the air,
- 11:58and less than a minute later,
- 11:59I get a text from Carolyn,
- 12:02individual are out.
- 12:05Yeah,
- 12:06as you were saying goodbye on the show,
- 12:07I was writing in the comments,
- 12:09and the Indies are out right now.
- 12:13So what I want to do is go
- 12:15through the individual workouts,
- 12:19get your impressions on them.
- 12:20Carolyn, you're going to be doing them.
- 12:23So it's probably going to be
- 12:26easier to do it on
- 12:26Instagram than my notes.
- 12:29So I will pull up.
- 12:36CrossFit Games have been
- 12:37posting a lot more like old
- 12:39regional stuff on their Instagram page.
- 12:42It's nice to see some of the
- 12:44just the old school stuff.
- 12:46Yeah.
- 12:46Memories.
- 12:47Have you noticed a
- 12:48difference in the last couple of days?
- 12:50It's good.
- 12:50They're actually trying to
- 12:51promote like masters and yeah.
- 12:55Yeah.
- 12:56Looks like it's they're
- 12:58pushing a little bit more
- 12:58for the upcoming semis.
- 13:00Mm hmm.
- 13:01That's good.
- 13:02Um, I mean,
- 13:03that was one of the comments I
- 13:05kind of made.
- 13:06I didn't get to expand as
- 13:07much as I wanted.
- 13:08They don't share enough
- 13:09stuff of things that are out there.
- 13:11Right.
- 13:11They have this huge platform
- 13:13and there's a lot of
- 13:14content out there that they
- 13:16don't have to create it all themselves.
- 13:18Just share it.
- 13:20Just share the stuff that's good.
- 13:23Um, so we have individual event one.
- 13:27It is five rounds for time.
- 13:31Uh, 800 meter run, 10 clean and jerks,
- 13:351 25, 1 85.
- 13:39Thoughts.
- 13:40And I'll answer Lex says,
- 13:42do I have media credentials for semis?
- 13:44I have not received word yet.
- 13:47And we are three weeks out,
- 13:49two and a half weeks out.
- 13:50You applied for it.
- 13:51Yes.
- 13:52The hour they came out.
- 13:57I mean, yeah,
- 13:57this workout is a lot of running.
- 14:00right?
- 14:00Like 4k of running, um,
- 14:04clean jerks are going to
- 14:06increase your heart rate.
- 14:08So, you know, those first few meters, um,
- 14:12going back to the,
- 14:13whatever machine is going to be,
- 14:15whether it's the rogue, um,
- 14:17or the assault runner,
- 14:18like you're going to feel
- 14:19the effects of those 10
- 14:20clean and jerks heart rate wise,
- 14:23probably posterior wise as
- 14:25you're like hinging and stuff like that.
- 14:28So I think that
- 14:30It's going to be I mean,
- 14:31it's mostly a running workout.
- 14:32Let's be honest,
- 14:33like you're going to save a
- 14:34lot of time there just
- 14:35being a good runner.
- 14:38But yeah, I mean,
- 14:39that's a that's a long workout for.
- 14:42day one and,
- 14:43but that's normally what they often do.
- 14:45So not super surprised by that.
- 14:48Um, a runner, if it's a machine,
- 14:51like sometimes some of the
- 14:52best runners aren't as good
- 14:54on the machines that can
- 14:54help like bigger bodies as
- 14:57they're just like able to
- 14:58pull a little bit better.
- 15:00Um, so good technique on the,
- 15:02on the runners can also go a long way.
- 15:06So Dan Church is in the crowd.
- 15:09I feel like you have to ride
- 15:11the line on the run,
- 15:11and you can't hesitate on
- 15:12the clean and jerks.
- 15:13You can't make up enough
- 15:15time on the clean and jerks
- 15:16if you're a slow runner.
- 15:20Yeah, it's a good mix.
- 15:21I love it.
- 15:22I mean, of course,
- 15:23I would love this if it was
- 15:24an outdoor run into the stadium,
- 15:27into the – but –
- 15:30Either way, I think it's,
- 15:31I think it's a great workout.
- 15:33I think I personally think
- 15:35the weights are spot on.
- 15:36I know people continuously
- 15:38say the women's weights
- 15:39need to get higher and higher.
- 15:40And I don't,
- 15:42I think the men would smoke the women if,
- 15:45if it was higher.
- 15:46I think in general,
- 15:47most males on this are
- 15:49going to normally run a
- 15:51little bit faster.
- 15:52So that might be one of the
- 15:53reasons to lower the weight to 125,
- 15:55just so the time cap can be
- 15:56a little bit closer between
- 15:58both the men and the woman.
- 16:01I mean, it's just anatomy or physiology.
- 16:05Some of the men should run faster.
- 16:07How do you feel personally, Carolyn?
- 16:12I'm a moderate runner.
- 16:13I probably do better on a runner, I think,
- 16:17than on the ground for that distance.
- 16:19I'm going to see how it
- 16:21feels this weekend.
- 16:23I'll give it a go.
- 16:26That weight is,
- 16:28like someone said in the comments,
- 16:29there's not much separation there.
- 16:32So I'm just going to try to
- 16:36have good transitions.
- 16:39to try to make up anything
- 16:40that I'll lose maybe on
- 16:41some of the better runners.
- 16:44So one of the things Tristan
- 16:44and I talked about on
- 16:45Thursday is that getting
- 16:47these workouts this early, a coach,
- 16:50it's a fine line of burnout and prep.
- 16:54Yeah.
- 16:56Do you feel that or do you
- 16:58think you're experienced
- 16:58enough to know how much you
- 17:00have to touch these
- 17:01movements before semis?
- 17:03I don't recall ever being week three.
- 17:06I think I've always been week one.
- 17:08Every regional I've ever done has been,
- 17:12I want to say week one.
- 17:14So I've never had all this
- 17:15time to practice.
- 17:16So I'm not really sure.
- 17:18I'm only going to do them
- 17:19once and then play around
- 17:20with like different parts of stuff,
- 17:23maybe combine two different
- 17:24little parts of a few
- 17:26different workouts just to
- 17:27touch up on the movements.
- 17:28But
- 17:29Yeah, it's a lot of time.
- 17:30And I'll also get to see
- 17:32some results from the
- 17:34Europeans in week one,
- 17:37the North America West in week two,
- 17:40and then obviously we go week three.
- 17:42So we'll be able to look at
- 17:46some strategies there and
- 17:48some good scores.
- 17:51So then two, five rounds for time,
- 17:54100 double-unders.
- 17:5520 toes to bar, 10 front squats,
- 17:59155 to 25.
- 18:00It's a squatting workout to me.
- 18:11It's a double under workout for me.
- 18:15It's paired with two good
- 18:16movements for me.
- 18:18So, yeah.
- 18:21just hoping to have a good
- 18:21day on the double unders.
- 18:23I've had good days under
- 18:25pressure this year with double unders.
- 18:26So hopefully I can continue that.
- 18:30Um,
- 18:32do I have a hundred unbroken for five
- 18:33rounds?
- 18:35It might be a PR.
- 18:38We'll see.
- 18:38I don't even think you need
- 18:39to go on broken there.
- 18:40I don't,
- 18:41I don't even know that it's a good
- 18:42idea to like, I don't know that I'll,
- 18:45I'll have that,
- 18:46but I'll probably break
- 18:48that up just cause it's
- 18:49just my capacity there.
- 18:50But
- 18:51I can move a barbell at that
- 18:53weight for front squat,
- 18:54and my toes to bar is normally decent.
- 18:59I'll do my best.
- 18:59I'll give it a try this weekend,
- 19:00and hopefully it goes
- 19:03better in person than it
- 19:04does on my practice.
- 19:08Yeah, the front squats are all you.
- 19:10Toes to bar, you're great at.
- 19:12It's just getting through
- 19:13those double unders.
- 19:15And just staying calm for me.
- 19:17Because once I start having a bad day,
- 19:20like my anxiety can go
- 19:22through the roof and then I
- 19:23start like hyperventilating, bending over,
- 19:25trying to calm myself down, stand up,
- 19:27I miss and it's like, oh my God,
- 19:28what's going on?
- 19:30So I can go like, so it's just,
- 19:33just calling myself and
- 19:35taking it one round at a time for me.
- 19:36Event three, seven rounds for time.
- 19:4210 calorie echo bike,
- 19:45one legless rope climb, 10 box jump overs,
- 19:48one legless rope climb, 24 inch,
- 19:5115 foot rope, 30 inch, 15 foot rope.
- 19:58When I look at this one,
- 20:00I think it's a different
- 20:01workout for the men and the women.
- 20:03I think the men is going to
- 20:04come down to the echo bike
- 20:05and just transitions and
- 20:07the woman it's a legless
- 20:09rope climb workout for most females.
- 20:11I think the two legless for the guys,
- 20:13like anytime we have the
- 20:14exact same amount as the men,
- 20:15like it's not the same workout.
- 20:18I have a feeling,
- 20:20especially with the bounding of, well,
- 20:23just like the running and
- 20:24then the double unders.
- 20:26I think the double under
- 20:27workout is the first workout of day two.
- 20:30And those two workouts back
- 20:32to back with the double unders,
- 20:34toes to bars,
- 20:35front squat is going to
- 20:36interfere a lot with this one.
- 20:38If it's on the same day and there's like,
- 20:40Because the second day,
- 20:42do the teams even go that day?
- 20:44Is there teams on?
- 20:45Teams only go on Friday and Saturday.
- 20:48Okay, so those teams are still there.
- 20:50But we'll see if they go one
- 20:52and two on day one,
- 20:55three and four on day two.
- 20:57But I wouldn't be surprised
- 20:57if they went one long one
- 20:59and then three on Saturday
- 21:01and two on Sunday.
- 21:03And there'd be a little bit
- 21:04more interference in that
- 21:05one than what people might be practicing.
- 21:08Judy Reed, Carolyn is in the east.
- 21:15So I'm going to stop here
- 21:16for one second and bring in
- 21:20Jamie a little bit.
- 21:21We haven't,
- 21:23you haven't seen the age group stuff yet,
- 21:25which blows my mind that
- 21:29you're this week and everybody,
- 21:31the elites get weeks of warning.
- 21:35Do you wish any,
- 21:36any of these first three
- 21:37events are going to be in your test?
- 21:42Well,
- 21:43Well, I love workout one,
- 21:45but there's zero chance.
- 21:48I mean, no,
- 21:49I don't want to see that
- 21:50workout with a variation of
- 21:5150 shuttles repeated.
- 21:53That's like.
- 21:54I think you're going to see
- 21:55a very similar.
- 21:56My prediction for you guys
- 21:57is a very similar workout
- 21:59that we had last year at
- 22:00semifinals with the
- 22:00shuttles or with the
- 22:02running and snatches.
- 22:03I think you guys will get
- 22:05some sort of running with
- 22:06snatches in your version.
- 22:08That's my prediction for.
- 22:10You guys possible.
- 22:12But no, I'm not.
- 22:14I mean,
- 22:15I'm not surprised that usually age
- 22:17group is our is already
- 22:20done at this point.
- 22:23And so then we'd be getting
- 22:24the but age group doesn't
- 22:27get their workouts beforehand.
- 22:29And individuals always have
- 22:31gotten their workouts beforehand.
- 22:33And you also don't want age
- 22:34groups to have the same
- 22:35workouts as the individuals
- 22:36because some of them are doing both,
- 22:38right?
- 22:39Yeah.
- 22:40In both.
- 22:40And then people could
- 22:43practice a lot more online
- 22:44versus they have to release
- 22:45them early for the
- 22:47semifinals of in-person
- 22:48because it's not fair to
- 22:50week one that they would have...
- 22:53no warning on any of the
- 22:54workouts and just have like
- 22:56the surprise element.
- 22:57And then they have to adapt
- 22:58right away to the workouts
- 22:59while the other ones can
- 23:00actually practice.
- 23:01Like you're testing a
- 23:02variable in week one that
- 23:04weeks two and three don't
- 23:06have to worry about.
- 23:07so it just makes it more
- 23:09fair to release them early
- 23:10and I'm glad they even
- 23:11released it earlier for
- 23:13week one that they can
- 23:14actually test it because in
- 23:15the past they would release
- 23:17it like the monday
- 23:18sometimes of when we would
- 23:19compete that week right and
- 23:21we don't we didn't even
- 23:22have time to really test it
- 23:24out unless you are part of
- 23:26a training camp or have friends that um
- 23:29that were very high caliber
- 23:31athletes that could test
- 23:32out the workouts for you.
- 23:34And that, that week to give you any input,
- 23:36like you just didn't have that.
- 23:37So I think it's better that
- 23:39they actually released it after the leak,
- 23:41after the leak.
- 23:42Yeah.
- 23:43I mean,
- 23:43it definitely needed to come out
- 23:44for you guys.
- 23:44I'm not, I, yeah, I'm not surprised that,
- 23:47well, ours aren't supposed to be out.
- 23:49That's just the way it is.
- 23:51They come out on Wednesday,
- 23:53just like they came out for
- 23:54quarterfinals.
- 23:54It's the exact same scenario.
- 23:56And that's the way online is.
- 23:59should be handled.
- 24:01I mean,
- 24:01unless they want to change their
- 24:03procedure where they are
- 24:04giving workouts and, um,
- 24:08standards and more like guidelines.
- 24:11And then a password comes
- 24:12out the day of like, that's fine.
- 24:14If they want to do that at
- 24:16quarterfinals next year and
- 24:17do that again for semis,
- 24:18but that's just not been the procedure.
- 24:20They come out on Wednesday
- 24:21and they're two are due on
- 24:23Saturday and two are due on
- 24:25or three or however,
- 24:26they're going to break it up.
- 24:28We don't know how many
- 24:28workouts we're getting.
- 24:31But yeah, as much as I like event one,
- 24:34I don't see that being really repeatable.
- 24:39I like event two.
- 24:40I would absolutely hate to
- 24:41see that front squat weight
- 24:43in my category.
- 24:44That's a lot of front squats.
- 24:48It's going to add up.
- 24:49Yeah, I would be...
- 24:52standing there looking at the bar,
- 24:53like as amazing as I,
- 24:56I think I'm exceptional at
- 24:58total bar and this work,
- 24:59I would still finish like
- 25:01bottom of the barrel of
- 25:02this workout because I'd be
- 25:03standing there looking at
- 25:04it's purely a front squat workout.
- 25:09And this,
- 25:10like this one has the same cows
- 25:12for the female and males too.
- 25:13So again, the men,
- 25:14like the men are just going to be faster,
- 25:16although they have the higher box.
- 25:18Like I just see the men
- 25:19going significantly faster
- 25:21on this workout.
- 25:21It's a, it's not the same workout.
- 25:23But yeah,
- 25:25they could go too fast to the
- 25:26point where they could miss
- 25:27their legless.
- 25:28But most of the men,
- 25:30they jump and they can do
- 25:31like three to four pulls to
- 25:32the top with how high some
- 25:34of them can jump.
- 25:35Yep.
- 25:36I almost think the women's
- 25:37should have been that
- 25:39second rope climb should
- 25:39have been legged.
- 25:41And that should have been the workout.
- 25:43So here's my question to you.
- 25:45We don't have the standards for these.
- 25:47Because of the leak and
- 25:48because of the quick release,
- 25:50you don't have details to
- 25:53these workouts that you
- 25:54would normally get.
- 25:56Do we know if these legless are standing?
- 25:59Are they seated?
- 26:00Are they... No way they're
- 26:03seated after the alpaca.
- 26:06People had trouble doing six seated...
- 26:11in the alpaca last year for the females,
- 26:14like I think like four or five finish,
- 26:16there's no way that they would do 14.
- 26:19It just would be like, it would be no,
- 26:20it's just pure legless.
- 26:22I was going to say maybe a short rope,
- 26:23but I don't even think so.
- 26:25It does say 15 foot rope.
- 26:27So it's,
- 26:28it's a regular legless rope climb.
- 26:30Um,
- 26:30and I still think we're going to see
- 26:32women not finishing these finishing this.
- 26:37Yeah.
- 26:39Yeah.
- 26:40Sarah Cooper.
- 26:41We have three men masters at the gym.
- 26:43We don't have any air runners,
- 26:45so I hope they don't need them.
- 26:46Yeah.
- 26:46I don't think they're going to do that.
- 26:49You definitely won't Sarah.
- 26:50That's not a,
- 26:52that would have been released
- 26:54in some type of equipment
- 26:56guide at some point.
- 26:58They won't even use like
- 26:59skiers or they won't even
- 27:02use an echo bike.
- 27:02Like it's just not,
- 27:04you'll get a rower and that's it.
- 27:06That's what they'll do online.
- 27:08or shuttles.
- 27:09Those are the two things
- 27:10you're going to see.
- 27:12Okay.
- 27:12So event four is four time, 400 meter row,
- 27:1696 foot handstand walk, 600 meter row,
- 27:20120 foot handstand walk, 800 meter row,
- 27:2372 foot handstand walk.
- 27:29It's a handstand walk workout.
- 27:30So handstand walk speed
- 27:31workout under high heart rate.
- 27:35I would say,
- 27:35but we don't know if there's
- 27:36any sections that need to be unbroken.
- 27:41There's a lot of details I
- 27:41think in that one.
- 27:43Do we have to do any pirouettes?
- 27:45I think it would be written
- 27:46if there is pirouettes.
- 27:49Yeah, just the layout of the floor,
- 27:50like is it in 24 foot
- 27:52sections and it's like
- 27:54shuttle style or if there's
- 27:55like one long section and then it's, yeah,
- 27:59a lot remains to be, I guess,
- 28:03released on that I guess
- 28:04we'll see on week one yeah
- 28:07I mean it's only what seven
- 28:13eight minutes of rowing
- 28:14like with that time cap I
- 28:16feel like there's something
- 28:20something specific there I
- 28:21don't know maybe maybe they
- 28:23just want to make sure
- 28:24people get the fatigue on
- 28:25their hands that are really
- 28:26slow at handstand walking but
- 28:28you would think there's something,
- 28:30whether it's a large
- 28:31unbroken section or ramps
- 28:34or something in there or pirouettes.
- 28:37Yeah,
- 28:37and the fact that it's meters for the
- 28:39row takes away a little bit
- 28:42of the power that some of
- 28:44the machine people could generate there.
- 28:48So it gives a little bit
- 28:49more balance to the smaller
- 28:53gymnastics or just speed
- 28:55gymnasts on their hands.
- 28:57Mm-hmm.
- 28:58because we do have different
- 29:00venue sizes this year.
- 29:04How,
- 29:04how complicated is that going to make
- 29:06this?
- 29:06Does that mean that you're
- 29:08not going to have a huge
- 29:10amount of unbroken because of that?
- 29:12I don't know.
- 29:18I mean, yeah.
- 29:19I mean,
- 29:19let's think about the smallest floors.
- 29:22I would,
- 29:22I would think every floor will
- 29:24have at least smallest floors,
- 29:27the tennis stadium for sure.
- 29:29Is it going to be, they can't do 50 feet,
- 29:32you don't think?
- 29:36My guess it is,
- 29:38what's the difference between 96 and 72?
- 29:4224?
- 29:43My guess is it's 24 foot sections then.
- 29:46With what, a little extra for the 120?
- 29:50Like, what are you doing there?
- 29:56Why 120 and then odd numbers?
- 30:00Well, just five sections.
- 30:02Yeah.
- 30:04I don't know.
- 30:07I don't know when you put the,
- 30:08if the rig is up in the tennis stadium,
- 30:11you're, you know, it's not going to be,
- 30:13you're not gonna have a long runway.
- 30:19Yeah.
- 30:19That's probably what it is
- 30:20is 24 foot sections, I guess.
- 30:23Maybe that's what they're
- 30:24going to mandate is like a turnaround.
- 30:28Yes.
- 30:35Yeah.
- 30:37Interesting.
- 30:38Aaron said three at 24, four at 24,
- 30:41five at 24.
- 30:42Yeah.
- 30:43Yeah.
- 30:50So, yeah.
- 30:50And they could, they could mandate a turn.
- 30:56That sort of makes sense.
- 31:00Love the speculation.
- 31:03And group event five.
- 31:05This is the 2016 regionals event one,
- 31:09which is a snatch ladder,
- 31:11squat snatch ladder, 10 by two minutes,
- 31:15eight by four, six by six, four by eight,
- 31:19and then two by 11.
- 31:22And it is for the women, 135, 145, 155,
- 31:24165, 175.
- 31:25For the men, 185, 205, 225, 245, 265.
- 31:34Carolyn,
- 31:35you are one of the handful of
- 31:37athletes that actually did this in 2016.
- 31:40I did.
- 31:42I remember it.
- 31:42I got capped, I think, on the second bar.
- 31:44I think I had either a
- 31:46second or third bar.
- 31:48I had maybe two left or
- 31:49something like that.
- 31:51on it.
- 31:51So I've done this on a few
- 31:53times over the last few
- 31:54years to predicting that it
- 31:56would come back at some point.
- 31:57So not surprised to see it come back.
- 32:00We saw it also at the West coast, um,
- 32:04in 2021.
- 32:05So I went back to watch some
- 32:06of those times, um,
- 32:09looked at the pacing of
- 32:10some of the athletes.
- 32:12Uh, I'll tell you what,
- 32:13it was one of the most
- 32:14exciting events to watch at
- 32:16that West coast classic in 21.
- 32:17Um,
- 32:20A lot of tight races.
- 32:25You'd be surprised.
- 32:26I mean,
- 32:27I was surprised that day that how
- 32:30many people were racing
- 32:31over that last bar.
- 32:32It's a gamble.
- 32:33It's like, okay, you ready to go or not?
- 32:36You miss.
- 32:37All of a sudden,
- 32:37two or three people can pass you.
- 32:40It's just like making sure
- 32:41you're really ready every
- 32:42single rep and making it count.
- 32:46Yeah, my vivid memory is Tola.
- 32:48going unbroken and trying to
- 32:50do the last bar unbroken
- 32:52and he missed it and he was crushing it.
- 32:55And because of that miss,
- 32:56he got passed at the end.
- 32:57Wow.
- 33:02You're going to see some crazy times here.
- 33:04How many more,
- 33:05how many people finished at
- 33:06West coast classic?
- 33:07A lot, a lot.
- 33:08Yeah.
- 33:08Really?
- 33:10And like, they're so fast too.
- 33:12That's crazy.
- 33:12Like a lot of them I think are, were like,
- 33:16in the was there some fives
- 33:18some mid fives all the way
- 33:19to like um there was a lot
- 33:23in the sixes and sevens I
- 33:26don't remember the times I
- 33:28know people were flying I I
- 33:30mean Spiegel did it really
- 33:31fast yeah Kelly Stone did
- 33:35it really fast um Daniel
- 33:38Brandon almost beat Spiegel
- 33:41wow she has very good uh
- 33:44snap like snatching technique
- 33:47So it was, um, reg, uh,
- 33:51Reagan Huckabee like killed that one.
- 33:53Didn't she?
- 33:55I don't remember.
- 33:55Yeah.
- 33:55She killed that weekend though.
- 33:57Yeah.
- 33:58And it,
- 33:58and she had done it in 16 and like the,
- 34:01the improvement in her time
- 34:02was like light years.
- 34:05Like she got captain 16 and
- 34:07then was competitive in 21.
- 34:09That's awesome.
- 34:16Someone said Katrin tested
- 34:17this in under four minutes.
- 34:21I guess it would depend if
- 34:23there was no transitions too.
- 34:24Like it's,
- 34:25it's hard to recreate the exact
- 34:27transitions.
- 34:28Like I would be under, under four minutes,
- 34:31like in the threes.
- 34:33Damn.
- 34:34I feel like you'd be on a
- 34:35spot at that point.
- 34:36You're not rolling a barbell.
- 34:3830 snatches.
- 34:4130 squat snatches.
- 34:42I don't think you're doing
- 34:43that in under four.
- 34:44If you're switching your weights.
- 34:46Didn't you have to like put
- 34:47the tens on or the five?
- 34:48Yeah.
- 34:48You have to put two fives every,
- 34:50like every time.
- 34:51And then I think there was
- 34:52two barbells at one point.
- 34:53I don't remember if it was the one 65,
- 34:57maybe.
- 34:58It was in the middle of the floor.
- 35:00I think for the last two bars.
- 35:02Yeah.
- 35:02Maybe.
- 35:02Yeah.
- 35:04Yeah.
- 35:04That makes sense.
- 35:07Yeah.
- 35:07That's going to definitely add some time.
- 35:10Yeah, that would be humming.
- 35:14I mean, she will crush this workout,
- 35:16though.
- 35:17Oh, she's not there.
- 35:19Yeah.
- 35:20It's easy to say when you're
- 35:21not going to be out on the
- 35:22floor doing it.
- 35:23Right.
- 35:24I forgot she's not in the West,
- 35:25and she's picking you off.
- 35:28Yeah.
- 35:30Who do you think will
- 35:32completely win this one?
- 35:33You think it'll be Dani?
- 35:36In the West?
- 35:37Yeah.
- 35:38Yeah, she's going to be hard to beat.
- 35:39Even overall.
- 35:40Or do you think like Laura
- 35:41will win this one?
- 35:42Or Tia?
- 35:46I think Tia is faster at
- 35:48catching and just getting
- 35:49out of the bottom than
- 35:50maybe like other athletes.
- 35:54I don't know.
- 35:54Tia could be...
- 35:59He is always a good pick for anything.
- 36:03Danny is going to be up there for sure.
- 36:05Kelsey Keel would be in the West.
- 36:10But for this one, smooth is fast.
- 36:13Daniel Brandon was smooth that whole way.
- 36:17So it wasn't just raw power like Danny,
- 36:19and they were neck and neck to the end.
- 36:23So like an Emma Lawson is so smooth.
- 36:27If she hits those,
- 36:28she's going to be right there.
- 36:30Yep.
- 36:32So it's all about smooth,
- 36:34smoothness of the movement in my opinion.
- 36:37Just good execution.
- 36:39Like Tola got beat.
- 36:41Right.
- 36:42Right.
- 36:42So yeah,
- 36:46I think it's rhythm and being smooth.
- 36:50be interesting one to watch.
- 36:53And this is also on day three.
- 36:54So what's the accumulating, you know,
- 36:58body soreness that you're
- 36:59getting from the 50 front squats and,
- 37:03you know,
- 37:04the running and the double
- 37:05unders and how's your
- 37:06posterior chain feeling at this point?
- 37:08So having this on day three
- 37:11is completely different
- 37:12than the first workout of
- 37:14the weekend as well.
- 37:15Very true.
- 37:16The heart rate, right?
- 37:17Like
- 37:19and then the pressure is
- 37:20starting to come on
- 37:21athletes too on day three
- 37:22so that's another huge
- 37:24factor yeah I could see an
- 37:27aerial low and doing really
- 37:28well I can do yeah oh yeah
- 37:32um so it'll be it that's
- 37:34why it's a this one's a fun
- 37:35one to watch because it
- 37:37just there are different
- 37:38ways to attack it and and
- 37:40they can all be good if they're done well
- 37:43I'm just glad there wasn't a
- 37:45one rep max event.
- 37:48Like I'm glad if there's some,
- 37:49if there's a lift,
- 37:51it's some sort of ladder
- 37:52like this for time versus
- 37:55one out of six events being
- 37:56a max lift personally.
- 37:59Totally agree.
- 38:02And then we finished with
- 38:02the lunge for time.
- 38:0630, 22 calorie echo bike, 15 muscle ups,
- 38:1272 foot dumbbell walking lunge.
- 38:14Does not say how, but we're guessing,
- 38:19Tristan guessed on Thursday
- 38:21that it would be like a
- 38:23suitcase farmer carry type lunge.
- 38:28I still think it's going to
- 38:29be the one over one front rack.
- 38:34They love overhead.
- 38:35And I think double overhead
- 38:36is nearly impossible.
- 38:40I don't think it's double
- 38:41overhead for sure.
- 38:42Right.
- 38:43Damn.
- 38:44The regional would be so hard.
- 38:46It would be.
- 38:47To finish.
- 38:49It's a fast time cap.
- 38:51Six minutes.
- 38:52So I don't think it can get
- 38:54too technical there where
- 38:56people are getting capped.
- 38:56You want people to still
- 38:58finish that last one.
- 39:00Yeah.
- 39:01That's a really good finale
- 39:02workout though.
- 39:03Like that's.
- 39:04When that leaked, I was like,
- 39:06that looks like a finale workout.
- 39:09Uh, Kenneth,
- 39:09one of our spies says people
- 39:11are already showing reels
- 39:12doing one overhead and Sarah,
- 39:14our other spices,
- 39:15Travis mayor posted testing
- 39:17the double overhead.
- 39:18I saw Travis and it looked
- 39:20like he did good, but like,
- 39:23I honestly can't imagine
- 39:24somebody getting through a
- 39:27bike and 15 muscle ups and
- 39:29doing that safely.
- 39:30Like I just don't even think
- 39:31it's a good idea.
- 39:35No, I don't.
- 39:36I went with front rack.
- 39:38It could be front rack.
- 39:41It could be, yeah.
- 39:42That you could see.
- 39:44And then it becomes,
- 39:45can you hold it here or can
- 39:46you hold them the other way?
- 39:51Yeah.
- 39:52Because of that,
- 39:53I would almost rather just
- 39:55see the suitcase so that
- 39:57there's no question.
- 40:03And then it's more of a grip thing.
- 40:08Yeah, this is going to be a good one.
- 40:13Judy says,
- 40:14Sarah's an up and coming junior
- 40:15CrossFit data analyst.
- 40:17Well, congratulations, Sarah.
- 40:22Talk about data analysts.
- 40:24Our data analyst is killing it this week.
- 40:27She has been pulling up all
- 40:29the history of the legends qualifiers,
- 40:31all the history of the
- 40:33semifinals for age groups
- 40:35so that the age group
- 40:36people can see all of the
- 40:38stuff that's kind of out
- 40:39there and may be a
- 40:41possibility coming up this week.
- 40:44If you haven't seen that,
- 40:45go check data wide.
- 40:46She has been killing it.
- 40:48She, and it's funny,
- 40:49like I'll text her and she's like, well,
- 40:51I just,
- 40:51I got bored and dove down this
- 40:53rabbit hole and that's what popped out.
- 40:57And I love her for it.
- 40:58She's great.
- 40:59So that's funny.
- 41:04All right.
- 41:05So those are the workouts.
- 41:08Overall, good test?
- 41:11I think it's a very old –
- 41:14like it just looks like an
- 41:15old regional event.
- 41:18Yeah.
- 41:19I was surprised to see six.
- 41:21I thought we would see seven events, but –
- 41:24Um, I think those are good,
- 41:26good six events.
- 41:27The, the people deserving will move on.
- 41:31I think that, um, there's, you know, some,
- 41:34a lot of cardio in there,
- 41:36a lot of machines, um,
- 41:39some still important
- 41:41gymnastics and then
- 41:42probably a little bit less weight.
- 41:46But again,
- 41:46I don't know what those
- 41:48dumbbells are going to look like.
- 41:49Cause that could be the
- 41:50factor of the workout.
- 41:53Obviously, the snatch, that's important.
- 41:54And then, yeah,
- 41:56so I'd say it's a little
- 41:57bit less biased towards
- 41:59maybe the weightlifting and
- 42:01more towards cardio and gymnastics.
- 42:06But if you look at the pyramid,
- 42:07it is more of a base anyways.
- 42:12Yeah,
- 42:12I think actually like thinking about it,
- 42:14it seems pretty balanced.
- 42:16Yep.
- 42:17Um, you know,
- 42:18with all those 800 meter runs
- 42:21with all those double unders, um,
- 42:23then you have all the toes
- 42:24to bar the rope climbs.
- 42:26Plus some, you got,
- 42:28you've got that echo bike twice is crazy,
- 42:30but, um,
- 42:31I'm surprised to see no handstand
- 42:33pushups.
- 42:35Yeah.
- 42:35Or wall balls is one that you normally see,
- 42:37but less, uh, less stuff to bring,
- 42:41I guess, for them.
- 42:42No glass board and wall ball targets.
- 42:49So that starts in about two
- 42:50and a half weeks.
- 42:51Um,
- 42:52hopefully we know if we have media
- 42:53credentials before then, um,
- 42:57be nice to know.
- 42:58Uh,
- 42:58I did get an email from CrossFit saying
- 43:00they've handed it off to
- 43:01the event organizers to let us know.
- 43:04Um, and I still haven't heard.
- 43:06So see what happens there.
- 43:11Um, just to take time out.
- 43:13Thank you.
- 43:14Thick boy for sponsoring the show.
- 43:17I've got he made us these
- 43:18shirts to wear at events.
- 43:21The back has the big logo.
- 43:22It has our names in the
- 43:24small logo on the front.
- 43:26He's sending me some shirts
- 43:27to help support a little
- 43:30bit for my semifinal.
- 43:32So I got to I got to talk to
- 43:33him the other day.

- 44:01Glidesdale Media shirts
- 44:02that you can purchase on his website.
- 44:06They will have the new horse logo.
- 44:10I think we're going with purple, our blue,
- 44:13and gray for those,
- 44:16and in a female tank or unisex tee.
- 44:22And if you're a male and you
- 44:23want to wear the tank,
- 44:24we're cool with that, too.
- 44:28But they should be coming soon.
- 44:32Let's get back to,
- 44:34let's hold off on teams
- 44:35because we've got a couple
- 44:36weeks for that and we're
- 44:38already 45 minutes into the show.
- 44:39Okay.
- 44:43Annie gave birth.
- 44:44Yes.
- 44:46Brand new baby boy tried to
- 44:47find a name somewhere they
- 44:49have not posted anything.
- 44:51But it looks like every she
- 44:52had to do it by C section,
- 44:54but everything is cool and
- 44:56everybody's healthy,
- 44:57but a brand new baby boy so
- 44:58that's pretty awesome.
- 45:03and Skip ahead.
- 45:12So Jamie, yes,
- 45:14you got send these this week.
- 45:15What are you doing this week to prep?
- 45:18Are you like gearing it down a little bit?
- 45:20I've never seen you gear down.
- 45:22So I don't even know if you
- 45:22have a gear down.
- 45:24It's usually like fifth gear
- 45:26pedal to the metal balls to the wall.
- 45:31Is that what what's this
- 45:32week going to look like?
- 45:34Tristan doesn't have very
- 45:35much on the schedule.
- 45:36I just,
- 45:36I was at the gym today and wrote
- 45:38that out.
- 45:39Um, I talked to him last week.
- 45:42on Saturday, like last Saturday.
- 45:46So a week ago and about this coming week.
- 45:50And he was gonna start to
- 45:51like back me off this week.
- 45:52And I was like, Oh no, I,
- 45:55I don't want to do that.
- 45:56Like, I want like a head, like a big,
- 45:59hard week of training.
- 46:01And then probably maybe normal Monday.
- 46:06easy-ish quite easy Tuesday
- 46:08and like slow after
- 46:09recovery or just full full
- 46:11recovery on Wednesday
- 46:12because I won't do anything
- 46:13on Wednesday I know they
- 46:14come out at like three but
- 46:15I have to coach at four um
- 46:18and I'll want to print off
- 46:19all the workouts and study
- 46:20them and plan my weekend so
- 46:23um yeah I don't I had a
- 46:26pretty pretty intense week
- 46:28of training like I wrote
- 46:29out the board and Jim was
- 46:30like this is so much stuff
- 46:32and I was like I know I
- 46:33asked for a lot I got what I asked for um
- 46:37So, yeah, um, I don't know.
- 46:39I'm trying to, trying to make, like,
- 46:42I did some legless rope
- 46:43climbs on Thursday.
- 46:44He had more for me yesterday
- 46:46in between the like Murph
- 46:48prep and waiting for Taylor's workout.
- 46:50And I,
- 46:51so I didn't do my legless rope
- 46:52climbs yesterday.
- 46:53Um, but I,
- 46:55I actually think it would have
- 46:56been like too much on my shoulder.
- 46:58So probably not a bad thing.
- 47:02uh denise moore says two
- 47:03more days uh she's our
- 47:05favorite 65 plus competitor
- 47:10champion at legends this
- 47:11year yeah it's it's three
- 47:12um monday tuesday wednesday
- 47:16californians they can't
- 47:17count are you over there in
- 47:20like australia or somewhere
- 47:21you're like the day ahead already yeah um
- 47:28She said so much studying.
- 47:29We have to read every part
- 47:30of the workouts.
- 47:31If Joe and Bob write them.
- 47:33Yeah.
- 47:38Yeah.
- 47:39Two more working days.
- 47:41I am very curious how much
- 47:45influence CrossFit is going
- 47:48to have had on these workouts.
- 47:51I know they have final approval.
- 47:53Yeah.
- 47:53Yeah.
- 47:55Boz told me that when I talked to him.
- 47:59But they're going to let the
- 48:02event organizers write them up.
- 48:08So.
- 48:11I'm excited.
- 48:11We'll probably do some
- 48:12pop-ins to talk about the events.
- 48:15We'll probably do a pop-in
- 48:16with Jamie to see how it's
- 48:17going after the leaderboard
- 48:19is finalized for halfway through,
- 48:21stuff like that.
- 48:22So stay tuned to the channel
- 48:23this weekend as we do some
- 48:26updates through that.
- 48:28And I'll probably reach out
- 48:29to some of our age group
- 48:30friends to kind of talk
- 48:32about that this weekend and
- 48:35get their perspectives.
- 48:36Maybe we can get Corey to jump on.
- 48:38Yeah.
- 48:39Corey Leonard.
- 48:41You know,
- 48:41I feel like it's always on
- 48:43Mother's Day weekend,
- 48:44and I just don't know why
- 48:45they choose Mother's Day
- 48:46weekend to do semis.
- 48:50Yeah.
- 48:51And it's prom.
- 48:53My son has prom on Saturday.
- 48:54So I have, like, I don't know.
- 49:00Stressful.
- 49:00Do you have anyone that
- 49:01you're doing the workouts with,
- 49:02or do you do them by yourself?
- 49:03Like, what do you prefer?
- 49:06Well, Jim is doing them,
- 49:08but they're different workouts.
- 49:10They're like,
- 49:11they're always so different
- 49:13for semis that it's like
- 49:14not even comparable.
- 49:16Um,
- 49:19Haley has said she might come home for
- 49:21the weekend or like she went home.
- 49:23So she might come back to
- 49:25the gym for the weekend, um,
- 49:27to do a couple with me,
- 49:29which would be nice.
- 49:30Um,
- 49:33I don't know.
- 49:34I might reach out to Jen and
- 49:35see if she can do one or
- 49:36two and give me an idea if
- 49:38there's something that
- 49:39scares me pacing-wise and I
- 49:41don't know what I need to do.
- 49:43Who is this Jen you speak of?
- 49:45Jen Ryan.
- 49:48Badass herself.
- 49:49Yeah.
- 49:51Having her opinion on scores
- 49:54and if she can even do a
- 49:57round and give me a pace
- 49:59time can help a ton.
- 50:02Would you communicate with
- 50:03people from different age
- 50:04groups just to look at
- 50:05scores and stuff like that?
- 50:06Like,
- 50:06do you have anyone from the 35 that
- 50:08you're going to be messaging?
- 50:09Because I know if I was in
- 50:10the master's division, I'd be looking at,
- 50:12you know,
- 50:13someone that might be in a
- 50:14different division just to
- 50:15have comparable stuff.
- 50:16Yeah.
- 50:18I'm not super, like...
- 50:22gatekeeping on my stuff like
- 50:24I shared my scores with
- 50:25people in the 40 to 44 over
- 50:27quarterfinals that reached
- 50:28out to me um and yes I'll
- 50:30share with people that
- 50:32message me at 35 39 um or
- 50:36older I have I don't have a
- 50:38lot of women that that are
- 50:42like other than jen would
- 50:44was like the most
- 50:45competitive person that
- 50:46would like give me feedback
- 50:48um I don't really have
- 50:51anyone else that I can get
- 50:52scores from that I'm like
- 50:54okay that's where I need to
- 50:55be um so it's kind of hard
- 50:59like I have some guys will
- 51:00give me scores but I once
- 51:02again I feel like those are
- 51:02always so different yeah I
- 51:07have a couple ideas we can
- 51:08talk after okay okay so if
- 51:15you're a masters athlete
- 51:17and you want to be on the
- 51:18show this weekend, let me know.
- 51:20We'll line it up with some
- 51:21feedback on different
- 51:22things from different age
- 51:23groups and highlight the
- 51:25Masters all weekend long.
- 51:28With that, Guadalupalooza, California.
- 51:32Big announcement coming out this week.
- 51:37Their format for the Guadalupalooza,
- 51:39California will be North
- 51:40America versus the world.
- 51:43And in their Instagram post, they said...
- 51:45The Tier Cup is an all-star
- 51:47matchup featuring a two-team,
- 51:49head-to-head format.
- 51:51Each squad will be composed
- 51:53of four men and four women
- 51:55with captains chosen by you.
- 52:01Are you telling me that this
- 52:03big venue is only going to
- 52:04have 16 athletes for the whole weekend?
- 52:08No, I think that's part of the weekend.
- 52:10It's still going to be a huge competition,
- 52:14I think, for...
- 52:16people that didn't probably
- 52:17go to the games or maybe
- 52:18didn't got cut at the games
- 52:20early and are looking for
- 52:22something just to, uh,
- 52:24finish off their season, uh,
- 52:26in September.
- 52:27I, I,
- 52:28I think there's gonna be plenty of
- 52:29divisions there,
- 52:30but that's super exciting to have, um,
- 52:33North America versus the world.
- 52:35It's going to be cool.
- 52:37It is very close to the game.
- 52:38So it's going to be
- 52:38interesting to see how many
- 52:39of the top athletes would be, um,
- 52:43willing to do all of the,
- 52:45the events and just what
- 52:46that format looks like.
- 52:47I would like to see it where it's like,
- 52:49okay, this workout,
- 52:50it's a one-on-one pick your
- 52:51person for a one-on-one
- 52:52battle against this one.
- 52:54This next workout is your two,
- 52:57like two athletes.
- 52:59a male and a female,
- 52:59and then they would go just
- 53:00so that the volume might be
- 53:02a little bit less for those athletes.
- 53:04I think that would be more
- 53:05of a format that people
- 53:07coming off of the games
- 53:08would be looking to do
- 53:09versus a bunch of events of
- 53:11teams of four and it's harder to program.
- 53:13So I'm hoping something like that.
- 53:14I think that would be really
- 53:15cool where you get the
- 53:16workout and you're picking
- 53:17your top person, your specialist of that.
- 53:20I think that would be very, very cool.
- 53:22So I hope that's what you do.
- 53:24I think I'm just like ultra
- 53:26sensitive from the around
- 53:28the whiteboard show that I
- 53:30did where I said CrossFit
- 53:33only focuses on the top five athletes.
- 53:37And that's why we're sitting
- 53:38here with no ticket sales
- 53:39in North America.
- 53:40But
- 53:42I just wanted to make sure
- 53:43that we're not just
- 53:44focusing on the top athletes,
- 53:46the top five.
- 53:47There are a lot of super
- 53:48cool athletes who could
- 53:50have the opportunity, like you said,
- 53:53show off their
- 53:53specialization and wow a
- 53:56crowd with something that
- 53:58they're really good at.
- 54:02And does Tia count for North
- 54:05America right now?
- 54:06Right.
- 54:07Do we get to have her on
- 54:09Team North America or is
- 54:10she going on Team World?
- 54:11Are we going off of where
- 54:13they're competing?
- 54:16We'll take Tia in North America.
- 54:19Those details have not been released.
- 54:22But Patrick Clark makes a good comment.
- 54:23Expect tier athletes to
- 54:25compete since it is the tier cup.
- 54:31It's just crazy because if
- 54:33you look at Oceania and Europe...
- 54:37I mean, I, I would,
- 54:37I would like to have it
- 54:38more like the invitational
- 54:39style where it's,
- 54:41we could do like a team
- 54:42Canada team USA or North America,
- 54:44if you want, um, Europe,
- 54:47maybe Oceana and maybe an
- 54:49other versus like,
- 54:50that's when you put like South America,
- 54:53Africa and Asia altogether
- 54:55for the other team.
- 54:57Just a little bit more
- 54:59people that would be able to compete,
- 55:00I think would be cool.
- 55:01Cause that,
- 55:02that invitation was fun to watch.
- 55:06It was.
- 55:07It was.
- 55:07I did like it as like a four-team format.
- 55:12And that wouldn't take up
- 55:13any more time and only a couple judges,
- 55:15right?
- 55:17But it is year one,
- 55:19and it could morph and
- 55:21modify into something
- 55:22different over time.
- 55:23I applaud them for the new
- 55:26kind of retro look at doing
- 55:28an invitational.
- 55:28Yeah, it's a good start.
- 55:30I mean...
- 55:32I'm OG.
- 55:32When they did the Invitational,
- 55:34my buddies and I would make a party.
- 55:37Like a watch party.
- 55:39We would do something on the smoker.
- 55:42We'd come in and sit down
- 55:44and watch all the events.
- 55:46It was a good time.
- 55:47And then it just went away.
- 55:56If they did split up the US and Canada,
- 55:59that would be...
- 56:01I would like that right now.
- 56:03I would hate that.
- 56:05Oh my gosh.
- 56:07I know.
- 56:13Like you look right now, what Canada has,
- 56:15I don't know.
- 56:17I don't know if I bet against them.
- 56:19Yeah.
- 56:24That's a sick lineup.
- 56:25Yeah.
- 56:26You got a lot of options there.
- 56:28The depth is getting pretty
- 56:29good in Canada.
- 56:30Yeah.
- 56:33When on the men's side,
- 56:33they've almost swept the
- 56:35podium a couple years in a
- 56:36row at a couple different events.
- 56:41Yeah.
- 56:43Did you fill out your May poll?
- 56:47Did it come?
- 56:48Yes.
- 56:50Honestly, I didn't get it.
- 56:51Scott.
- 56:53When was it due?
- 56:54I think it was due...
- 56:57coming out I did it
- 57:00wednesday I think what wait
- 57:02what day was that you have
- 57:04to let me know like I was
- 57:06in the woods I got had no
- 57:07service you did all the
- 57:11shows all weekend what do
- 57:12you mean I think I saw like
- 57:1410 shows of yours this
- 57:15weekend that you had no
- 57:16service I didn't see this
- 57:18weekend pc when was the
- 57:19barbell spin paul do you know
- 57:26i can't believe you didn't
- 57:27do that so it goes to my
- 57:28other email and I don't get
- 57:29notifications unless I'm I
- 57:33feel like I said something
- 57:34last time and you were like
- 57:35yeah yeah like annoyed that
- 57:36I brought it up so I was
- 57:37like I'm not gonna bring it
- 57:38up to him never annoyed I
- 57:43was gonna even send you my
- 57:43list and I was like nah I'm
- 57:45sure he got it done we can
- 57:46talk about it later oh my
- 57:48gosh it's due today
- 57:52Oh, so good.
- 57:53Get it done when you get off here.
- 57:55Yes.
- 57:57Oh, I had a lot of changes.
- 57:59Like,
- 58:00it finally was updated with all the
- 58:01people that I, like,
- 58:02tried to write in last month.
- 58:05So, like, I was actually, like,
- 58:06able to sort this done.
- 58:08Do you take into account now
- 58:10that you know the
- 58:11semifinals and who you're predicting?
- 58:14Yeah.
- 58:14Yeah, I was trying to take, like,
- 58:16nine out of East and then, like,
- 58:20if I thought something.
- 58:21Yes.
- 58:22When is that being announced?
- 58:23Like CrossFit announcing the
- 58:25amount of spots?
- 58:25I feel like Barbell Spin
- 58:26would have had it by now or
- 58:28someone would have done the
- 58:29math for how many spots are
- 58:31in each region.
- 58:34I'm surprised like the
- 58:35leaderboard's been finalized for what,
- 58:38a week now?
- 58:39We still don't know the spots?
- 58:40I think
- 58:41Well,
- 58:41because you have until what may S is
- 58:44it tomorrow, May 6th,
- 58:45Monday to like not respond
- 58:48or pay basically pay.
- 58:49And then they're going to backfill.
- 58:50So I think they must be waiting for.
- 58:54Does that affect,
- 58:55I don't think that affects the,
- 58:57it's just the top.
- 58:59You get points for 100.
- 59:02No, that it's, it's based on where,
- 59:04what you,
- 59:04where you competed over the last
- 59:07two years.
- 59:10And so semifinals isn't even
- 59:12factored in yet.
- 59:14It,
- 59:15you would just have your quarterfinal
- 59:16points.
- 59:18Yeah.
- 59:18But isn't the strength of
- 59:19field determined by which
- 59:2140 athletes are in that
- 59:24Which would get finalized
- 59:26after the quarterfinals.
- 59:27Once the quarterfinal leaderboard is done,
- 59:29I think that now they could
- 59:32take out our quarterfinal
- 59:33results from two years ago
- 59:34and replace it for this
- 59:37year and then everything else.
- 59:39So they should have it already.
- 59:43No,
- 59:44because we still don't know if like
- 59:4540... It doesn't matter.
- 59:48That's not how it factors.
- 59:51They look at the region
- 59:53And how many of those people
- 59:54are in the top 100?
- 59:58Whether they're active or not.
- 1:00:01That's why the team athletes
- 1:00:02were doing the workouts for
- 1:00:03their regions.
- 1:00:08To just stay within the top
- 1:00:10100 to buy their point.
- 1:00:12Just like why people wanted
- 1:00:14more of the Oceania
- 1:00:15athletes to do the workouts
- 1:00:16and they didn't,
- 1:00:17which doesn't help their
- 1:00:18case to try to get an extra spot.
- 1:00:22Yeah, well, yeah,
- 1:00:23we should be getting those numbers ASAP.
- 1:00:26Yeah, someone's got to do the math.
- 1:00:27Someone has them.
- 1:00:28They have to.
- 1:00:29Like there's enough
- 1:00:31statistical people now in
- 1:00:33this space that they've
- 1:00:35computed the numbers.
- 1:00:36I'm just curious with the
- 1:00:38amount of drop-offs you've
- 1:00:39seen and just like the
- 1:00:42strength of field that is this year.
- 1:00:45In certain regions,
- 1:00:46like how much of their past
- 1:00:48years is affecting their
- 1:00:49spots from this year,
- 1:00:50even though they may not be
- 1:00:51as strong this year,
- 1:00:53if they're still going to
- 1:00:54get as many spots.
- 1:00:55You can read between the
- 1:00:57lines of what I'm saying.
- 1:00:59The only difference that it
- 1:01:00looks like is coming is
- 1:01:02that South America could get one more,
- 1:01:05but I don't know where it's coming from.
- 1:01:09Because one of their
- 1:01:10athletes made it into the top 100.
- 1:01:12Yeah.
- 1:01:15I hope it's not from the East.
- 1:01:17Yeah, that would be a terrible idea.
- 1:01:21Well,
- 1:01:21I think the prediction was it would
- 1:01:23come from the West.
- 1:01:24It should.
- 1:01:29Because it should.
- 1:01:32Yeah.
- 1:01:35It's so damn confusing.
- 1:01:38So the West would have like
- 1:01:40eight spots this year?
- 1:01:41I think they had 10 last year.
- 1:01:44They would have nine this year.
- 1:01:45I think.
- 1:01:46And we'd have 12.
- 1:01:48Damn.
- 1:01:48Maybe 12, 11 or 12.
- 1:01:49Wow.
- 1:01:52Yeah.
- 1:01:53That's crazy.
- 1:01:54I feel like you've added Tia.
- 1:01:56You need to get.
- 1:01:57They didn't,
- 1:01:57they don't have their points
- 1:01:58or Haley Adams.
- 1:01:59So you add like two games level athlete,
- 1:02:02but you don't actually add like.
- 1:02:05Their points were still floating in there.
- 1:02:07Yeah.
- 1:02:08They weren't active.
- 1:02:10Yeah.
- 1:02:10Yeah.
- 1:02:12Tia would probably still be
- 1:02:15in the top 100.
- 1:02:16And last year they didn't
- 1:02:19put any points in, Haley or Tia.
- 1:02:23So they may not be.
- 1:02:25That's what I'm saying.
- 1:02:26Tia has a win still.
- 1:02:28Yeah.
- 1:02:28A game's win, which is like 10,000 points.
- 1:02:31Yeah, she should be good.
- 1:02:32She's fine.
- 1:02:34So, yeah.
- 1:02:36and Haley's always top 10,
- 1:02:37almost top five at the game.
- 1:02:39So you would think that she
- 1:02:40would still have a lot of points,
- 1:02:41but I don't even know.
- 1:02:43Like 13th though.
- 1:02:45It still counts,
- 1:02:46but I don't know what that,
- 1:02:47I don't know how that figures out.
- 1:02:52Crazy.
- 1:02:53But yeah, but we'll see.
- 1:02:55We'll see soon enough.
- 1:02:56Hopefully soon enough.
- 1:02:58It should be really soon.
- 1:02:59I feel like the focus will
- 1:03:00be on the masters and stuff
- 1:03:02and the age group.
- 1:03:03And is that adapted this weekend as well?
- 1:03:07Schedule.
- 1:03:10Aren't they going directly
- 1:03:11to the games from the.
- 1:03:14Correct.
- 1:03:14They just had like two stages.
- 1:03:16Yeah.
- 1:03:16I think they basically have their field.
- 1:03:20Gotcha.
- 1:03:21Yeah.
- 1:03:22Yeah.
- 1:03:25Bruce,
- 1:03:26I think they should take it from
- 1:03:27those places too, but they're not.
- 1:03:30They should.
- 1:03:33They want representation
- 1:03:35from all the continents.
- 1:03:37And so we can't take the one from Africa.
- 1:03:40It's just so expensive
- 1:03:41putting on those semifinal
- 1:03:43events for one spot, right?
- 1:03:44Like it's just tough.
- 1:03:46But how do you grow the sport without it?
- 1:03:48Yeah.
- 1:03:58Sarah Cooper says it should shift.
- 1:04:00If you saw the picture
- 1:04:00posted with all the photos
- 1:04:03of the women who aren't competing,
- 1:04:04it was nuts.
- 1:04:06Yeah, that was crazy.
- 1:04:07If you look at the women,
- 1:04:08it's spread out over the
- 1:04:10world pretty much.
- 1:04:10It is, yeah.
- 1:04:12So it kind of equally came
- 1:04:14from the big three, right?
- 1:04:18And some of Oceana.
- 1:04:20Well,
- 1:04:20you're going to start seeing a shift
- 1:04:21in the sport anyways.
- 1:04:22Like you start seeing...
- 1:04:24you know,
- 1:04:24those older people come out or
- 1:04:26women starting families or, you know,
- 1:04:28having different priorities and, um,
- 1:04:32just different things going on injuries.
- 1:04:34Like that's like natural to have, you know,
- 1:04:36at one point,
- 1:04:37like just like a big
- 1:04:38turnaround and there's
- 1:04:40nothing wrong with that.
- 1:04:40Like, that's just,
- 1:04:41there's going to be people
- 1:04:42filling in those spots that
- 1:04:43we don't know as much of, of,
- 1:04:45and they're going to be
- 1:04:47household names soon.
- 1:04:51Um, PC said, I disagree with Asia women.
- 1:04:55And I was actually thinking
- 1:04:56men when I said it.
- 1:04:57Um, but you're right.
- 1:04:59Shung Young Choi and Shahir
- 1:05:01Kaya are both really good
- 1:05:03and they deserve spots.
- 1:05:08Yeah.
- 1:05:08I actually think I may have
- 1:05:09put Shahir Kaya 25th on my list.
- 1:05:14Um, so yes, I know someone's behind me,
- 1:05:18Trish.
- 1:05:21I saw him creeping around
- 1:05:23back there earlier,
- 1:05:29but Trish is moving on to
- 1:05:31the semifinals of her quilting club.
- 1:05:34Stay fair.
- 1:05:35So okay.
- 1:05:45So, so yeah,
- 1:05:47this week we have Jamie competing.
- 1:05:50We'll do some pop-ins.
- 1:05:51I've already got some
- 1:05:51messages from masters athletes, uh,
- 1:05:54as we were talking that
- 1:05:55want to come on this weekend.
- 1:05:57I appreciate them very much
- 1:05:58and I will be getting back to them.
- 1:06:00I'd schedule some time.
- 1:06:01I reached out to Mr. Corey Leonard, uh,
- 1:06:04to see how he's going to do
- 1:06:05this weekend as a first
- 1:06:07time semifinalist.
- 1:06:09Um, uh,
- 1:06:10And we'll do some coverage
- 1:06:11of that this weekend.
- 1:06:13I may pop over to Rudy
- 1:06:14Berger's gym and get some
- 1:06:17shots of him while he's
- 1:06:18going just to get a feel
- 1:06:20for the workouts and see
- 1:06:21some of them in person just
- 1:06:24so I can get a better kind
- 1:06:25of analyst view before we come back on.
- 1:06:30And, yeah, super excited about that.
- 1:06:33with that super thanks to
- 1:06:34thick boy uh and their
