  What is going on, everybody?
• 0:30
  Welcome to Sunday Night
• 0:33
  CrossFit Talk on a Saturday night.
• 0:36
  Hope you're here for the
• 0:37
  start of college football season.
• 0:38
  That's where we're going to
• 0:39
  break down the Penn State
• 0:41
  West Virginia game.
• 0:42
  No, not really.
• 0:44
  We are here to talk Masters, Masters,
• 0:46
  Masters.
• 0:48
  It was day three in Birmingham, Alabama.
• 0:52
  It was cut day at the end of
• 0:55
  the third event today.
• 0:56
  Half the field got cut.
• 1:00
  And so a little drama there.
• 1:03
  I got to talk to a few
• 1:04
  athletes who were done.
• 1:06
  Most of the athletes in that
• 1:07
  cut area did not expect to
• 1:09
  make it beyond that.
• 1:11
  And many of them had tears
• 1:13
  of joy as of what they
• 1:16
  accomplished getting there
• 1:18
  and being able to compete again.
• 1:22
  at the crossfit games uh and
• 1:24
  we got some of that for the
• 1:25
  behind the scenes on video
• 1:27
  which is really cool and
• 1:29
  can't wait to share that so
• 1:31
  carolyn you watched the
• 1:32
  live stream I was stuck in
• 1:34
  the back room most of the
• 1:36
  day uh so you're gonna have
• 1:38
  to be my eyes and ears as
• 1:40
  to what happened on the
• 1:41
  floor uh but we had three
• 1:43
  events and it started with
• 1:45
  the good old standard
• 1:47
  Yeah, I mean,
• 1:48
  this is a classic CrossFit event,
• 1:52
  and it was really fun to watch.
• 1:55
  I was so impressed by Will Morad,
• 1:58
  who went sub-eight, I think, in that one,
• 2:01
  and...
• 2:03
  he's just on fire this weekend.
• 2:06
  Um,
• 2:07
  like this is one I knew he would do well,
• 2:09
  but he's also surprised me
• 2:10
  like yesterday with the echo bike one.
• 2:11
  Like he did,
• 2:13
  he's not one of the bigger guys there,
• 2:14
  but he obviously has a
• 2:15
  great capacity and he's been very,
• 2:19
  very impressive this weekend.
• 2:21
  Um, on the female side,
• 2:23
  I think it was Nizzler if
• 2:25
  I'm not mistaken that had won that one.
• 2:29
  Let me check that.
• 2:30
  We'll check.
• 2:32
  It's a safe bet to say she won that one.
• 2:34
  Cause she's,
• 2:34
  I think she won most things today,
• 2:36
  but yeah.
• 2:37
  So she won that one just
• 2:39
  under sub sub ten.
• 2:41
  Like most of the men finish that workout,
• 2:45
  about half of the female
• 2:46
  finished that one for the
• 2:48
  thirty five to thirty nine,
• 2:50
  maybe five or six of the
• 2:52
  females for the forty to forty five.
• 2:55
  And then I think one female finished
• 2:58
  with the adjusted reps on,
• 3:00
  I think they go to twenty
• 3:01
  five reps like in the forty
• 3:03
  five to forty nine.
• 3:03
  I think it was just Val that
• 3:05
  finished that one.
• 3:07
  So definitely a little bit
• 3:09
  different of a work,
• 3:09
  not different of a workout, but.
• 3:12
  The men's field just are
• 3:14
  finishing most of the
• 3:15
  workouts and you're getting
• 3:16
  lucky if half of the field
• 3:18
  on the woman's side is
• 3:19
  finishing some of these workouts.
• 3:22
  So.
• 3:23
  Some of the time caps have
• 3:24
  been a little bit tighter
• 3:25
  on the female side for sure.
• 3:26
  But that was a fun one to watch.
• 3:30
  I would have liked to have
• 3:30
  done that event.
• 3:31
  I liked that one.
• 3:33
  If you're a fan of the show,
• 3:35
  our very own Jamie Latimer
• 3:38
  definitely did better than
• 3:39
  she thought she would do on that event.
• 3:42
  She came off the muscle-ups
• 3:45
  about a minute ahead of
• 3:48
  where her plan was and her practice was.
• 3:53
  So with that,
• 3:55
  she got the sense that she
• 3:56
  had a shot to finish.
• 3:59
  Yeah.
• 4:00
  So stinking close.
• 4:02
  Yeah.
• 4:02
  It's like an extra minute
• 4:04
  would have made a big difference.
• 4:05
  Like there was a lot of females, like,
• 4:07
  like in the thirty five to
• 4:08
  thirty nine within that,
• 4:09
  like eleven to twelve.
• 4:10
  And there's some of them just, you know,
• 4:12
  they just need another minute extra.
• 4:14
  I just felt like that twelve
• 4:15
  was just kind of that field
• 4:17
  a little bit shy.
• 4:17
  But yeah, Jamie got.
• 4:20
  Top ten on that one.
• 4:21
  Eighth.
• 4:23
  Uh, yeah, somewhere in there.
• 4:26
  Yeah.
• 4:26
  Eighth place.
• 4:26
  She was just excited about
• 4:28
  her performance there,
• 4:30
  that that's what she was talking about.
• 4:32
  Um, and we know she's going through it,
• 4:34
  like, you know,
• 4:35
  her shoulders been taped up all weekend.
• 4:37
  And so ring muscle up is not
• 4:38
  a move that you want to do
• 4:40
  when you have any type of
• 4:40
  shoulder issues.
• 4:42
  So for her to, you know,
• 4:44
  snatch ring muscle up and
• 4:45
  then the clean and jerk,
• 4:46
  that's a lot on the shoulders.
• 4:47
  So yeah, that's,
• 4:48
  that's a great finish for her.
• 4:51
  Yeah.
• 4:51
  And her, her grace look great.
• 4:53
  Like really great.
• 4:56
  So awesome there.
• 4:57
  A lot of people look great.
• 5:01
  Val Vobrol has been looking good all day.
• 5:04
  Really extended her lead in
• 5:06
  the forty five to forty nine.
• 5:08
  Andrea Nistler is just what she's doing.
• 5:12
  We've talked about last night.
• 5:13
  She had a baby in March, mid-March,
• 5:17
  and she is obliterating the
• 5:20
  expectations of what
• 5:23
  postpartum means for some people.
• 5:25
  And that is it's crazy.
• 5:27
  It's nuts.
• 5:28
  It's.
• 5:31
  It's not the, it's not the norm.
• 5:33
  Definitely not the norm.
• 5:35
  Val took a hit on that last
• 5:37
  front squat one though.
• 5:38
  She's in third place right now.
• 5:39
  So actually a Canadian friend,
• 5:43
  Deanna Posey is in first place right now.
• 5:46
  So.
• 5:48
  Yeah, I know Kelly Friel had fallen back.
• 5:51
  Well,
• 5:51
  Kelly Kelly's in second and Val's in
• 5:53
  third.
• 5:55
  So.
• 5:57
  Kelly was in third, moved up to second.
• 6:00
  Deanna moved up to first.
• 6:01
  Val drops to third.
• 6:03
  But Tamar's workout is a very Val workout.
• 6:07
  Yeah, there's still, I mean,
• 6:09
  Val's got seven,
• 6:10
  thirty six points and Deanna,
• 6:12
  who's in first, has seven fifty six.
• 6:14
  So you got, you know, twenty points there.
• 6:18
  How many events tomorrow?
• 6:19
  Two events left.
• 6:21
  So still some points.
• 6:22
  But yeah,
• 6:24
  so it's going to be it's going to
• 6:25
  be a good finish.
• 6:26
  That's for sure.
• 6:28
  CrossFat says,
• 6:29
  I think this is a hundred
• 6:30
  times more than I've paid
• 6:31
  attention to Masters in the
• 6:33
  moment compared to any other year.
• 6:35
  Same here.
• 6:37
  The fact that they're separated,
• 6:39
  I've been able to
• 6:40
  appreciate all of the
• 6:42
  divisions and masters way
• 6:44
  more than I would when the
• 6:46
  individuals are competing at the games.
• 6:51
  I agree.
• 6:52
  I think that part is cool if
• 6:55
  they wouldn't put the teens
• 6:56
  and the masters on at the same weekend.
• 6:59
  Yes.
• 7:01
  And I'm going to talk about
• 7:02
  that a little bit later
• 7:03
  because I think there's a
• 7:04
  lot of reasons why that needs to change.
• 7:07
  Not just,
• 7:11
  I think that it's hurting the
• 7:12
  sport in some ways.
• 7:15
  So CrossFit also asked,
• 7:17
  does Andrea make another go
• 7:18
  as an Indy next year?
• 7:20
  I don't think she ever
• 7:20
  wanted to be an Indy athlete.
• 7:24
  And she just did this year
• 7:25
  for fun because she was having a baby.
• 7:28
  Like all this is a surprise to her.
• 7:30
  Yeah.
• 7:30
  Yeah.
• 7:35
  it's hard to know also like
• 7:37
  things change every year um
• 7:40
  programming wise or just
• 7:42
  where you are at in in life
• 7:43
  like as her kid gets older
• 7:45
  she might you know just
• 7:47
  want to be like like even
• 7:49
  more involved as like the
• 7:51
  baby's able to do more you
• 7:52
  know so it's just it's just
• 7:53
  hard to know what what
• 7:54
  she'll want to do does she
• 7:55
  have the ability to to go
• 7:58
  individual absolutely like
• 7:59
  she's she's stud she's
• 8:01
  she's so good so uh it'll
• 8:03
  just be where you know what
• 8:04
  she wants to do and but
• 8:07
  she's crushing it yeah you
• 8:09
  mentioned will morad
• 8:10
  killing it um the the men
• 8:14
  on the forty to forty four
• 8:16
  uh jonathan edel I think is
• 8:19
  the guy in the lead he won
• 8:21
  by ninety seconds wow
• 8:25
  that's a big that's a big one
• 8:28
  And I think he competed may
• 8:31
  have beaten will more ads time.
• 8:36
  Jonathan.
• 8:37
  Yeah, that's it.
• 8:38
  Jonathan.
• 8:42
  On which workout?
• 8:44
  Uh, the standard.
• 8:48
  No, no, I was wrong.
• 8:52
  No, he got ten minutes and, uh,
• 8:55
  will was sub eight.
• 8:58
  So do it.
• 8:58
  Okay.
• 9:01
  Okay.
• 9:01
  No, we'll,
• 9:02
  we'll have the top time of the day.
• 9:03
  No one,
• 9:04
  no one's touching Will's time on
• 9:06
  that one.
• 9:09
  Yeah.
• 9:13
  So I talked to Will today in the back.
• 9:15
  I'm not going to say what we talked about.
• 9:16
  Cause it's a really good
• 9:17
  piece that I want to be in
• 9:18
  the behind the scenes.
• 9:21
  But man,
• 9:22
  what a perspective that dude has
• 9:23
  right now.
• 9:25
  And it's really cool.
• 9:27
  Is he fully healthy right now?
• 9:29
  He looks obviously fully healthy,
• 9:30
  but does he still have
• 9:32
  anything from his hip flexor?
• 9:36
  It's something in the hip.
• 9:38
  I don't think it's a hundred percent.
• 9:41
  Again,
• 9:41
  I don't want to give too much away
• 9:42
  because he talks about all
• 9:43
  of that in the behind the scenes.
• 9:45
  Well, he got a twenty fourth on the lift.
• 9:47
  So I would assume if
• 9:48
  something was to bother him,
• 9:49
  it might be like a heavy front squat.
• 9:51
  Right.
• 9:53
  Anything squatting is is is painful.
• 9:56
  Yeah.
• 9:56
  So he took a little bit of a
• 9:59
  decrease in that workout.
• 10:01
  Um, but I mean, he had such a huge lead.
• 10:04
  He still has almost a hundred point lead.
• 10:08
  Like he has ninety seven
• 10:09
  point lead with two events to go.
• 10:12
  So he's pulling a Tia going
• 10:15
  into the final day right
• 10:16
  now is what it's looking like.
• 10:19
  Well, there's only one event to go.
• 10:20
  He's got it locked up, right?
• 10:21
  Like there's only one.
• 10:27
  They only have one on Sunday.
• 10:28
  Yeah.
• 10:29
  Yeah.
• 10:30
  No, they've done eight events.
• 10:31
  Don't they have ten events?
• 10:32
  They did nine today.
• 10:34
  Nine was the front squad.
• 10:35
  Oh, that's right.
• 10:36
  They are nine.
• 10:37
  Yeah, one event to go.
• 10:38
  So, yeah,
• 10:40
  he's Tia Claire to me right now
• 10:43
  going into the final event.
• 10:46
  Yeah, cool for him.
• 10:47
  Like he's been around a long time.
• 10:49
  He's put in the work.
• 10:51
  So only one event on Sunday?
• 10:53
  Like they couldn't have put two there?
• 10:55
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 10:56
  It's all done at like noon tomorrow.
• 11:00
  It's crazy getting people to
• 11:02
  stay like an extra night for one event.
• 11:06
  So a lot of money.
• 11:08
  Yeah.
• 11:09
  And I don't know like
• 11:10
  logistically how that's
• 11:11
  going to work because today
• 11:12
  when they didn't have, you know,
• 11:14
  we talked about the crowds
• 11:15
  kind of being really good
• 11:19
  today because not all three
• 11:20
  floors were running at the same time.
• 11:23
  Like some of the floors were
• 11:24
  just overcrowded because
• 11:25
  they didn't plan for
• 11:29
  that number of people at each floor.
• 11:32
  And the stands are so small.
• 11:35
  Like they fill up quickly.
• 11:37
  And the people had no place
• 11:38
  to go when they're only
• 11:41
  running two floors.
• 11:42
  Yeah.
• 11:44
  I mean, the teams tonight,
• 11:47
  because they were running
• 11:48
  front squats on floor three, maybe one.
• 11:52
  I don't know.
• 11:53
  And then the main floor with
• 11:54
  the big rig was teams.
• 11:57
  It was packed over there
• 11:58
  just because nobody could
• 11:59
  get into where the front squat was.
• 12:02
  And tomorrow, with less athletes competing,
• 12:04
  maybe they're going to be
• 12:06
  watching the event for the
• 12:07
  last day so you could see
• 12:09
  the most amount of fans tomorrow,
• 12:11
  unless some of them go home.
• 12:14
  True.
• 12:15
  I know a lot of people are
• 12:16
  trying to get out of their
• 12:17
  hotel room for tomorrow
• 12:18
  night so they can start back early.
• 12:21
  if I could do that,
• 12:22
  I would do it in a heartbeat.
• 12:25
  But yeah.
• 12:29
  Katie Robbert, Then the second event today,
• 12:32
  the eight minute one,
• 12:34
  the first thing that caught
• 12:35
  my eye was the difference
• 12:37
  in the barbells distance.
• 12:41
  And
• 12:44
  I, as an athlete,
• 12:44
  I would think about there's
• 12:46
  an advantage at first.
• 12:48
  I was like, okay,
• 12:48
  there's an advantage on the closer bar.
• 12:51
  And then I saw that they
• 12:52
  were making them face the other way.
• 12:54
  And then we had discussed this privately,
• 12:58
  even with Jamie,
• 12:59
  that we felt like the
• 13:01
  turning around and then
• 13:02
  twice turning around on the last burpee,
• 13:04
  you had to go over the bar
• 13:05
  and then turn and go back to the rig.
• 13:07
  Like there was just
• 13:08
  differences in half of the
• 13:09
  field in terms of the
• 13:12
  the timing, um, in a very quick event.
• 13:15
  Like this is another event
• 13:16
  where most of the men finished and, um,
• 13:19
  wasn't the case on the female side.
• 13:21
  Like, so again, that quick time cap is, um,
• 13:26
  hurting the females more so than,
• 13:28
  than the men on here.
• 13:30
  But, um,
• 13:32
  yeah, that, that one was super fast.
• 13:34
  Another fast workout.
• 13:36
  Um,
• 13:37
  it looked like the transitions played a
• 13:38
  factor.
• 13:39
  I thought it was interesting
• 13:40
  that they allowed the step over,
• 13:42
  but if you want to take the
• 13:43
  judging out of the picture,
• 13:44
  I guess that's what you can do.
• 13:45
  Some athletes chose to step over the bar.
• 13:48
  The faster athletes were doing, you know,
• 13:51
  staying low to the ground
• 13:52
  and pushing the burpee pace,
• 13:53
  jogging to the pull up bar
• 13:55
  for the toaster pull up for
• 13:57
  the toaster bars.
• 13:58
  Um,
• 14:00
  Yeah,
• 14:00
  so I felt like that workout was one a
• 14:02
  lot on the transitions and
• 14:04
  how much you're being
• 14:06
  aggressive there and then
• 14:09
  just being able to pick up
• 14:11
  the barbell right away.
• 14:14
  Yeah, watching it live,
• 14:18
  forcing someone to turn
• 14:19
  twice was not a fair
• 14:23
  substitute for a little bit shorter lane.
• 14:28
  Just watching it, I'm telling you like,
• 14:31
  When someone's faster on the movements,
• 14:33
  they should be winning the race.
• 14:36
  But because of the transitions,
• 14:37
  they were behind.
• 14:38
  Yeah.
• 14:42
  It's like that one year at
• 14:43
  the games when you had the
• 14:45
  shoulder to overhead and
• 14:46
  differences in the blocks.
• 14:49
  And I was like,
• 14:49
  this is an advantage for
• 14:51
  the people that have the closer block.
• 14:53
  And you didn't have to turn
• 14:54
  or anything like that.
• 14:55
  You could just go.
• 14:56
  It was like an extra rep
• 14:57
  every time almost.
• 14:59
  Not for me because mine sucks.
• 15:00
  Just think about it.
• 15:01
  Think about coming up from
• 15:02
  your burpee and jumping
• 15:03
  over the bar and running
• 15:05
  straight to the rig versus
• 15:08
  jumping up and over, stopping,
• 15:10
  turning around,
• 15:11
  going back over the bar and
• 15:13
  then running to the rig.
• 15:16
  That is not equitable to ten feet.
• 15:20
  Was it ten feet?
• 15:20
  It didn't look like it was ten feet.
• 15:22
  I don't know.
• 15:23
  I understand what you're saying.
• 15:26
  Yeah.
• 15:28
  Yeah, that's something that
• 15:31
  It's hard to know running
• 15:33
  from the rig and just being
• 15:34
  able to pick up the bar.
• 15:35
  It was one rep.
• 15:37
  So you didn't have to like, it was heavy,
• 15:39
  but you didn't have to set up and,
• 15:42
  and others had to run, jump the bar,
• 15:44
  turn around,
• 15:46
  then set up and lift to do
• 15:48
  that twice in every round
• 15:50
  where the other person gets
• 15:51
  to run straight is not
• 15:53
  equitable to the distance.
• 15:56
  Yeah,
• 15:57
  so we ended up saying that the
• 15:59
  further bar was actually
• 16:00
  more of an advantage than
• 16:02
  the closer bar with the two
• 16:04
  turnarounds that they had to do.
• 16:05
  One on the clean,
• 16:06
  one on the last burpee to head back.
• 16:08
  Yeah.
• 16:10
  Yeah.
• 16:15
  So that was a crazy race.
• 16:18
  The other thing that was
• 16:19
  tough is because it was so many rounds,
• 16:21
  I think it was eight rounds,
• 16:23
  A lot of people,
• 16:24
  you couldn't tell where they finished.
• 16:27
  So from a spectator point of view,
• 16:29
  it wasn't awesome.
• 16:30
  But when people were finishing,
• 16:32
  the race was fun.
• 16:33
  And again,
• 16:34
  I think it's your point about
• 16:36
  the time caps being more appropriate.
• 16:41
  Mostly just the female side this weekend.
• 16:43
  Like the men has been pretty
• 16:45
  much pretty close to fine
• 16:47
  the whole way where most of
• 16:48
  the field is finishing.
• 16:49
  Like you're getting thirty
• 16:51
  athletes finishing out of the forty,
• 16:53
  which is fine.
• 16:54
  But you're getting a lot of
• 16:55
  workouts this weekend in
• 16:57
  various age groups where
• 16:59
  one to eight females are finishing.
• 17:04
  Versus thirty something from it,
• 17:06
  and I get the women are
• 17:07
  competing as the woman, but.
• 17:10
  I don't know.
• 17:10
  I would like to see more of
• 17:11
  the females finish the workouts.
• 17:17
  Yeah.
• 17:19
  I agree with you.
• 17:19
  I think they would have been
• 17:21
  more exciting finishes
• 17:22
  because they would have
• 17:23
  been allowed to finish and
• 17:24
  you would have seen the run to the end.
• 17:27
  Yeah,
• 17:27
  like it sucks always getting time
• 17:28
  capped at an event.
• 17:31
  Your goal is always to finish the workout.
• 17:33
  So when you get time capped
• 17:34
  almost every workout,
• 17:37
  but you're finishing like twelve,
• 17:38
  that's not in a field of forty.
• 17:40
  It's not fun.
• 17:42
  No.
• 17:45
  So then they finished up
• 17:46
  with front squat max.
• 17:50
  One thing that I found
• 17:50
  interesting here is if you missed a lift,
• 17:53
  you had to strip the bar to nothing.
• 17:57
  before you could re-rack it.
• 18:00
  So you couldn't do it just
• 18:01
  down to like
• 18:02
  one-thirty-five or
• 18:03
  one-twenty-five and clean
• 18:05
  it up to the bar.
• 18:06
  You had to go down to a bare
• 18:08
  bar to re-rack it.
• 18:10
  Yeah.
• 18:12
  I mean, we saw some great numbers.
• 18:14
  What impressed me was the
• 18:15
  numbers in Jamie's division
• 18:17
  of forty to forty-five,
• 18:20
  forty to forty-four, sorry,
• 18:22
  were better than the
• 18:23
  thirty-five to thirty-nines at the top.
• 18:28
  That's crazy.
• 18:29
  Like you would think with age,
• 18:30
  like you're not like,
• 18:32
  that shouldn't be a
• 18:32
  stronger division than the
• 18:33
  one that's younger,
• 18:36
  but they had the same top.
• 18:37
  And there was more people at
• 18:38
  the top with heavier
• 18:39
  weights all the way until like.
• 18:43
  Seventeenth or nineteenth
• 18:44
  place in the thirty five to thirty nine,
• 18:47
  so.
• 18:48
  sucks for jamie because
• 18:49
  she's in a loaded division
• 18:53
  that just has crazy
• 18:55
  strength um but yeah
• 18:58
  impressive numbers on both
• 18:59
  the men and female side I
• 19:01
  thought paul trombone was
• 19:02
  gonna get that four fifty
• 19:04
  five there at the end he
• 19:05
  was so close like right at
• 19:06
  the top and then boom just
• 19:08
  dropped it um but yeah
• 19:14
  CrossFit says caps without
• 19:16
  timing chips stink.
• 19:18
  No split times where we end
• 19:19
  up with log jams at certain reps.
• 19:21
  Yep.
• 19:24
  And we had a lot of ties too
• 19:26
  for the weights for the
• 19:29
  front squats because there
• 19:30
  was no like one pounders
• 19:33
  and stuff like that.
• 19:34
  So sometimes you have six or
• 19:35
  seven people at the same
• 19:36
  weight with no no tiebreaker on it.
• 19:42
  So and
• 19:43
  Without the time chips,
• 19:48
  it's also hard on the finishes.
• 19:50
  You're relying on split seconds.
• 19:52
  Like I think I had heard,
• 19:55
  I think it was Sean or
• 19:56
  Tommy say that Andrea had
• 19:58
  lost a couple workouts just
• 19:59
  by like not even a second
• 20:01
  over the weekend.
• 20:02
  And you don't even know,
• 20:03
  do you look back on video, maybe like,
• 20:05
  Maybe she actually wins.
• 20:06
  Like you don't know what
• 20:07
  these stopwatches.
• 20:10
  That's one of the things I'd
• 20:11
  like to see change in the
• 20:12
  future is always some sort
• 20:15
  of chip system.
• 20:18
  And the stopwatch is a backup.
• 20:22
  Yep.
• 20:22
  That's how it generally is.
• 20:24
  The four fifty front squat
• 20:25
  and thirty five to thirty
• 20:26
  nine by Woodard.
• 20:29
  Yeah,
• 20:29
  Paul Tremblay tried to top it and
• 20:32
  just couldn't finish.
• 20:34
  Honestly,
• 20:35
  it looked like he had passed his
• 20:36
  sticking point, too,
• 20:37
  and I thought he was right there,
• 20:39
  and then, yeah, just lost it.
• 20:44
  So one of the things I
• 20:45
  wanted to bring up about
• 20:47
  Pitt and Masters going in
• 20:48
  the same weekend is,
• 20:51
  and I'm not sure people
• 20:52
  thought about this,
• 20:52
  but you're diluting the
• 20:54
  talent pool of the volunteers, right?
• 20:59
  So the volunteer judges, you know,
• 21:02
  when you're at the games,
• 21:04
  even in the old days with
• 21:05
  ten in each master's group
• 21:07
  and ten in the teen
• 21:09
  division and a full games field,
• 21:11
  you needed less judges than
• 21:13
  you needed just the masters.
• 21:19
  Now you add Pitt,
• 21:20
  who's expanded their field,
• 21:25
  and now you're –
• 21:27
  you're outside of your
• 21:29
  normal tub of judges and
• 21:33
  you're reaching for new people.
• 21:36
  And I think that's becoming
• 21:38
  more and more evident as
• 21:39
  the weekend goes on.
• 21:44
  Very inconsistent in some cases.
• 21:47
  Yeah.
• 21:52
  Yeah.
• 21:52
  And I know there's a lot of
• 21:53
  good judges out there.
• 21:55
  And that, you know, when I was,
• 21:57
  I hated when people dogged us,
• 22:00
  but when you bring it,
• 22:02
  we have to bring in a whole
• 22:03
  fresh batch that may have
• 22:06
  never done it at this level.
• 22:08
  Like that's a lot to ask.
• 22:11
  It is.
• 22:15
  So not only are we diluting
• 22:17
  the volunteer pool,
• 22:18
  we're diluting the streams.
• 22:21
  We're diluting the sponsorships.
• 22:26
  like we're diluting so much
• 22:27
  of this because they're on
• 22:28
  the same weekend.
• 22:32
  Yeah.
• 22:32
  I was trying to watch the
• 22:33
  teens like in between, like, you know,
• 22:35
  sometimes I'd be like, Oh, this,
• 22:36
  this heat is ahead or like, you know,
• 22:38
  in this amount of time I'd
• 22:41
  flip over the teens,
• 22:42
  rewind quickly to see the, the,
• 22:46
  the teens go and then come back and yeah,
• 22:49
  you're, you're playing catch up.
• 22:50
  You're,
• 22:51
  it's just hard to have your
• 22:53
  attention and in both comps and,
• 22:55
  and try to follow like, like, like,
• 22:59
  like we said,
• 23:00
  like we're following the
• 23:01
  masters right now more than
• 23:02
  we've ever done.
• 23:03
  Right.
• 23:04
  Um,
• 23:04
  and I'm sure that we would have
• 23:06
  followed the teens if it
• 23:07
  was the same weekend.
• 23:08
  Right.
• 23:09
  If the teens wanted to go
• 23:10
  another weekend and we're
• 23:11
  going to follow the teens, that's,
• 23:13
  I guess that's fine as well,
• 23:14
  but both on the same
• 23:15
  weekend just doesn't work just too hard.
• 23:18
  Like the, the viewership is split in half.
• 23:24
  Yeah, Grant, you're late.
• 23:25
  And we've already talked
• 23:26
  about Will being a beast
• 23:27
  and the standard in seven forty.
• 23:31
  Crazy.
• 23:31
  Try and catch up.
• 23:35
  And when you hear the piece
• 23:36
  where I talk in the behind the scenes,
• 23:39
  you'll see where I talk to him.
• 23:41
  The way he talks about it,
• 23:42
  you're even going to be more blown away.
• 23:45
  He didn't even look tired, though.
• 23:46
  Like he just walked to the
• 23:47
  finish line and was like, yeah, OK.
• 23:52
  I mean,
• 23:53
  if you're trying to compare that
• 23:54
  standard to the one of the
• 23:56
  games in twenty nineteen,
• 23:57
  you also can't because his
• 23:59
  transitions like the
• 24:00
  transitions of the Masters
• 24:01
  here are much shorter than
• 24:03
  the ones that they had to
• 24:04
  do in twenty nineteen.
• 24:08
  He was, I think,
• 24:08
  in that final in those
• 24:11
  final ten athletes of twenty nineteen.
• 24:14
  But he had, I think,
• 24:15
  a pulled hamstring or something that year,
• 24:17
  if I remember.
• 24:18
  And I don't know if he got to do it.
• 24:20
  I think he was injured, but he had,
• 24:22
  he had made it pretty far.
• 24:24
  Um, may have had an injury, but the way,
• 24:26
  the way the floor was for the,
• 24:28
  for the standard back then
• 24:30
  you had to move your bar up
• 24:31
  every little bit.
• 24:32
  Then you had the rigs.
• 24:34
  I think he had multiple rigs
• 24:35
  and then you had the
• 24:36
  snatches at the end where you moved up.
• 24:38
  So I think one of the
• 24:40
  reasons that you were able
• 24:41
  to see some time,
• 24:42
  like his time goes sub eight one,
• 24:44
  he's fit.
• 24:45
  Like he is just,
• 24:46
  he's dominating this weekend.
• 24:47
  Um,
• 24:48
  but having a a smaller floor
• 24:50
  so I I think it's hard to
• 24:53
  compare but um super
• 24:55
  impressive but what's
• 24:57
  lacking from it and people
• 24:59
  said this forever is like
• 25:01
  the crossfit games is great
• 25:03
  at telling a story and if
• 25:05
  you haven't done that this
• 25:07
  floor does not do that
• 25:10
  It doesn't tell the story of
• 25:11
  the event because it's hard
• 25:12
  to follow who's in first.
• 25:14
  When barbells don't move for thirty reps,
• 25:17
  you have no idea what rep people are on.
• 25:22
  That echo bike thing was
• 25:25
  awesome if they were at a
• 25:26
  counter where you could see.
• 25:31
  Grubb at forty eight years old,
• 25:33
  eight thirty.
• 25:34
  I think his reps are changed, though,
• 25:35
  aren't they?
• 25:36
  Or is it just the females
• 25:37
  that that lowered the reps?
• 25:40
  I don't know.
• 25:43
  I know that the females,
• 25:44
  I think at some point they
• 25:45
  go to twenty five reps instead of thirty.
• 25:51
  I would have to double check that,
• 25:52
  but that's very impressive.
• 25:54
  I have it.
• 25:57
  Yeah, they had.
• 25:58
  So for Grubbs division,
• 25:59
  they had twenty five, twenty five.
• 26:03
  So a little bit different on
• 26:08
  the reps you're losing.
• 26:13
  Yeah, some reps there.
• 26:14
  Yeah.
• 26:20
  That's hard to compare, but yeah.
• 26:23
  Yeah,
• 26:23
  it's just hard because they got to do
• 26:25
  the reps basically on the spot.
• 26:27
  So you're just moving for that.
• 26:28
  There's no moving of the barbell.
• 26:29
  You can't see where you are in the race.
• 26:31
  There's nothing at the end
• 26:32
  of the lane that gives any indication.
• 26:35
  Even on the echo bike yesterday,
• 26:38
  that white...
• 26:41
  board that they had like you
• 26:42
  still couldn't even see on
• 26:43
  the stream what number was
• 26:44
  placed on it versus like a
• 26:48
  colorful thing would have
• 26:49
  been more useful I think it
• 26:52
  would just help also the
• 26:53
  broadcast team too right
• 26:54
  like they're like they're
• 26:56
  doing their best trying to
• 26:58
  figure out who's in the
• 26:59
  lead and trying to get the
• 27:00
  information probably sent
• 27:01
  to them and but they're
• 27:04
  making it hard on on the
• 27:06
  broadcast team to know
• 27:07
  who's in the lead right like
• 27:09
  Because first of all,
• 27:10
  there's a lot of athletes on the floor,
• 27:11
  ten and ten.
• 27:13
  You're looking both ways and
• 27:15
  you're not seeing any bar progression.
• 27:18
  Yeah.
• 27:21
  I talked to Tommy a little bit today,
• 27:23
  and he was saying that it's
• 27:25
  a production they're not
• 27:26
  really used to because of all the floors.
• 27:29
  And so with that,
• 27:32
  they lost a little bit of
• 27:35
  the information they get
• 27:36
  during a broadcast.
• 27:39
  So usually they get stuff
• 27:40
  pumped into their ears as
• 27:41
  to what's going on.
• 27:42
  And I don't think they were
• 27:44
  getting that fully this weekend.
• 27:50
  So,
• 27:51
  because the floors changed and like
• 27:54
  Tommy and Lauren would call
• 27:56
  one floor and Chase and
• 27:58
  Sean were calling another
• 27:59
  floor and they couldn't
• 28:00
  cross paths or whatever, but yeah.
• 28:06
  And that must be difficult to, to,
• 28:08
  to call the same workout for hours,
• 28:12
  like all the different heats, all like,
• 28:15
  even just to have two new people come in,
• 28:17
  like with just, cause you could just tell,
• 28:19
  like, they're just trying,
• 28:20
  they're trying not to
• 28:21
  repeat the same thing, but it's hard.
• 28:23
  Like it's,
• 28:24
  you have all those heats that
• 28:25
  need to come through and
• 28:26
  you're literally just repeating.
• 28:28
  Like it's, it's different.
• 28:29
  There's a lot of divisions
• 28:30
  for the masters.
• 28:31
  Right.
• 28:32
  Um,
• 28:32
  I actually heard from spectators today.
• 28:34
  They actually liked the three floors.
• 28:36
  Could they, cause they could watch,
• 28:37
  they could switch during
• 28:38
  the day back and forth.
• 28:41
  And so they weren't sitting
• 28:42
  watching the same event
• 28:44
  over and over again.
• 28:45
  They could run over and
• 28:46
  watch event seven and then
• 28:48
  watch event eight and then
• 28:50
  go back and get a little bit more seven.
• 28:52
  And, you know, so yeah.
• 28:58
  All right.
• 28:58
  Well,
• 28:58
  before we go through the leaderboards
• 29:00
  and kind of tell who's doing what,
• 29:03
  I'm going to show you one
• 29:04
  quick clip that I got today
• 29:06
  for the behind the scenes,
• 29:08
  just to give you kind of a
• 29:09
  little preview of what we're looking at.
• 29:13
  I thought it was a fun, fun clip.
• 29:16
  So here we go.
• 29:21
  Hopefully you can hear this.
• 29:28
  I can't hear it.
• 29:33
  There's no volume on my side.
• 29:36
  Oh, shoot.
• 29:40
  All right.
• 29:41
  So what she's saying there
• 29:42
  is those red socks she's
• 29:43
  putting on are her game
• 29:45
  socks from twenty fourteen
• 29:47
  that she was issued back then.
• 29:51
  And and she was wearing them
• 29:54
  for good luck on the front squat.
• 29:58
  And she was wearing her
• 29:58
  twenty fifteen lifters that
• 30:01
  she got at the games.
• 30:03
  Sometimes it's like that.
• 30:04
  If you have like a certain
• 30:06
  shoe that you are like outfit,
• 30:08
  but you can't wear the
• 30:08
  outfit and you just feel good.
• 30:10
  You had your PR.
• 30:11
  You're just trying to get
• 30:12
  that energy that you had in that moment.
• 30:14
  So, yeah.
• 30:18
  And, and she don't,
• 30:19
  she's only made the games four times,
• 30:21
  but her first couple of
• 30:22
  times were fourteen and fifteen.
• 30:24
  She made it one other time
• 30:25
  and then it's been a while
• 30:27
  and she finally made it back.
• 30:31
  Four times is a lot.
• 30:33
  I want to make it four times.
• 30:34
  I mean, yeah.
• 30:38
  All right, so let's go ahead.
• 30:40
  Again,
• 30:40
  we'll start with the women because
• 30:41
  they went first all day today.
• 30:44
  And their stuff is the most complete.
• 30:46
  And hopefully by the time we
• 30:47
  get to the end of the men.
• 30:48
  Everything's complete.
• 30:49
  Okay.
• 30:49
  All right,
• 30:52
  so we will start with the women.
• 30:55
  Sixty-five plus.
• 30:59
  And real quick before I read this off.
• 31:08
  Um, and this is not the right one.
• 31:10
  Seventy plus finished today.
• 31:12
  Those athletes were so cool.
• 31:14
  They were so excited to be there.
• 31:16
  They were just giddy about
• 31:18
  being in front of everybody.
• 31:19
  And they did the award
• 31:20
  ceremony during the break
• 31:21
  at the end of the day.
• 31:22
  And there were a lot of fans
• 31:24
  there cheering them on as
• 31:26
  they got their medals.
• 31:28
  And I thought that was, uh,
• 31:31
  Cooler than the other side of the pillow,
• 31:33
  as they say.
• 31:34
  Like,
• 31:34
  I just thought that was really
• 31:35
  awesome that they got to go
• 31:37
  up on the podium,
• 31:38
  get their medals in front
• 31:40
  of this big crowd.
• 31:42
  And that was pretty awesome.
• 31:46
  So I'm going to try this
• 31:46
  again and hopefully grab
• 31:49
  the right one this time.
• 31:52
  There we go.
• 31:53
  All right.
• 31:54
  So women, sixty five plus.
• 31:58
  I'm going to blow this up.
• 32:02
  Patricia McGill, Denise Moore,
• 32:04
  our very own, and Julie Holt are one, two,
• 32:07
  and three.
• 32:09
  Denise Moore did get an
• 32:10
  event win today in the front squat,
• 32:13
  and she texted me
• 32:15
  immediately to tell me she
• 32:16
  got it and could not be
• 32:17
  more excited for her to get
• 32:20
  an event win at the CrossFit Games.
• 32:22
  It's looking like that
• 32:23
  podium is pretty solidified
• 32:26
  for tomorrow's last event.
• 32:28
  Yeah,
• 32:29
  we have a forty-two point lead for
• 32:31
  Julie Holt and over Sue
• 32:32
  Lawson for the last podium spot.
• 32:34
  One event to go.
• 32:35
  Yeah.
• 32:39
  So then we go to women sixty
• 32:46
  to sixty-five.
• 32:51
  Lori Mishiznik.
• 32:52
  I talked to her today.
• 32:53
  I got how to pronounce her name.
• 32:56
  And she told me that it is Mishiznik.
• 32:58
  So now I have it.
• 33:00
  Betsy Vanderberg.
• 33:02
  And then Teresina Orisato.
• 33:07
  But Laura's got a pretty
• 33:09
  good lead with one event to go.
• 33:11
  It's almost four.
• 33:12
  It's forty points.
• 33:14
  Forty three points.
• 33:16
  Betsy has another thirty
• 33:19
  points on Teresina.
• 33:22
  So I think we're we're set
• 33:23
  at top two for sure.
• 33:25
  With with with less in the field,
• 33:28
  the points are also going
• 33:29
  to change tomorrow, I'm assuming.
• 33:30
  Yeah.
• 33:32
  Yeah.
• 33:33
  so this workout is going to
• 33:34
  be worth more more
• 33:35
  separation between the
• 33:36
  points per per finish which
• 33:39
  is often a a big factor at
• 33:41
  the end of the weekend but
• 33:43
  yeah like you said these
• 33:45
  they seem to be separated
• 33:47
  enough right now you still
• 33:48
  could maybe have a little
• 33:50
  bit of a change on that two
• 33:51
  or three position but plus
• 33:55
  lori and betsy are so good
• 33:57
  um I don't see them falling
• 33:58
  out of the top two
• 34:03
  Then we go back to fifty
• 34:05
  five to fifty nine.
• 34:08
  And we have Joanne Cooper to
• 34:14
  you there and Tia Vesser.
• 34:19
  This Shanna Bunce is right there with Tia.
• 34:22
  That's going to be a battle,
• 34:23
  and Rose Wall's even twenty
• 34:25
  points away from Tia.
• 34:26
  Yeah,
• 34:28
  you could definitely see a fight for
• 34:30
  that third place.
• 34:32
  Joanne, I think,
• 34:33
  has it locked up right there in first,
• 34:36
  and barring a bad event for number two,
• 34:41
  it should be pretty set there.
• 34:42
  So Joanne's been on the
• 34:43
  podium a couple times,
• 34:44
  but I don't think never first,
• 34:46
  so this would be a big...
• 34:49
  Big win for him.
• 34:50
  So Tia Vesser won the games in twenty one,
• 34:53
  I think, in the younger division.
• 34:54
  And Shanna Bunce won Legends this year.
• 34:57
  So both great athletes.
• 35:00
  Just not sure they have
• 35:02
  enough left to make any move.
• 35:04
  Bruce is asking where Jamie is.
• 35:06
  Jamie is competing and we're
• 35:07
  leaving her alone for the weekend.
• 35:12
  So then.
• 35:15
  We go to.
• 35:17
  Women, fifty to fifty four.
• 35:21
  And here we have Janet Black.
• 35:24
  Seven forty four.
• 35:25
  Jen Dieter, seven forty.
• 35:27
  Stephanie China, seven twenty six.
• 35:31
  Even seven twenty one.
• 35:32
  It's close.
• 35:33
  It's this one's going to be
• 35:34
  a battle tomorrow.
• 35:35
  There's there's there can
• 35:37
  certainly be some changes
• 35:39
  in positioning at the top
• 35:41
  of the podium tomorrow there.
• 35:44
  Jen Dieter won Legends last year.
• 35:46
  Janet Black, I'm not as familiar with,
• 35:48
  but man, this is close.
• 35:50
  She's been around.
• 35:52
  Both great athletes.
• 35:56
  Then we go to forty five to forty nine.
• 36:00
  We talked about this a little bit.
• 36:01
  Deanna Posey, seven fifty six.
• 36:04
  Kelly Friel, seven fifty three.
• 36:06
  Val Vogel, seven thirty six.
• 36:10
  Deanna and Kelly are more of
• 36:11
  a power output type athlete,
• 36:13
  where Val is more gymnastics-y.
• 36:16
  So I think that this has
• 36:18
  been a shuffled leaderboard
• 36:20
  all weekend long,
• 36:23
  primarily with those three.
• 36:26
  And tomorrow,
• 36:26
  I feel like the bar muscle-up
• 36:29
  will play a bigger factor
• 36:31
  than the dumbbell thruster.
• 36:35
  For the female,
• 36:35
  like being able to do that last,
• 36:37
  unbroken for instance, um,
• 36:41
  versus the dumbbell weight.
• 36:45
  Um, yeah, this is,
• 36:48
  you can tell in the older divisions,
• 36:49
  the muscle up on the
• 36:50
  standard really made a big
• 36:51
  difference more so than the barbell.
• 36:54
  Yeah.
• 36:56
  So I think the same will
• 36:57
  probably come into play here.
• 37:01
  Then we go to the forty to
• 37:02
  forty four year old division.
• 37:05
  where Carly Newlands has
• 37:06
  kind of taken command of
• 37:07
  this and she's already locked up the win.
• 37:11
  Andrea Pinheiro at six, eight,
• 37:13
  one Janine Shillington at six, sixty nine,
• 37:17
  Carly Matthews at six, fifty nine.
• 37:20
  And then our very own Jamie
• 37:21
  Latimer is in sixth at six, twenty nine.
• 37:27
  Yeah, she had a.
• 37:30
  uh, low finish on the front squat.
• 37:32
  She would have been right up there.
• 37:34
  Um, normally, but yeah,
• 37:37
  she was in the top four all
• 37:38
  weekend until that front squat.
• 37:40
  Yeah.
• 37:40
  She took a hit.
• 37:42
  Like we said,
• 37:43
  that division had some huge
• 37:46
  powerhouses like, uh,
• 37:48
  Janine had two eighty five
• 37:49
  for a front squat,
• 37:50
  which was the same winning
• 37:52
  weight in the thirty five
• 37:53
  to thirty nine division.
• 37:55
  Like that's just a great, great,
• 37:56
  great front squat.
• 37:57
  So that propelled her.
• 37:59
  Definitely up the leaderboard.
• 38:03
  Yeah,
• 38:03
  Carleen Matthews is someone else
• 38:04
  that's been very relevant all weekend,
• 38:07
  and she also took a hit in
• 38:08
  the front squat event.
• 38:10
  So that front squat's very top.
• 38:14
  Even like Will Morad, same thing.
• 38:16
  A lot of those top athletes
• 38:17
  sometimes aren't the strongest,
• 38:20
  and some of them got really
• 38:21
  hit with some specialists in this one.
• 38:25
  Yeah,
• 38:25
  I think that Carlene and Jamie will
• 38:27
  probably do better on that
• 38:28
  event tomorrow than the
• 38:30
  people ahead of them.
• 38:32
  I just don't know if there's enough time,
• 38:35
  middling,
• 38:36
  and space to make a difference
• 38:38
  on the leaderboard.
• 38:39
  Exactly, yeah.
• 38:44
  So then we go to... ...and
• 38:48
  this is the Andrea Nistler show.
• 38:51
  There she is.
• 38:53
  Caroline Klutz...
• 38:55
  Has a shot, but it's more like that.
• 38:58
  Not on that workout for tomorrow.
• 39:00
  There's a chance.
• 39:02
  No, there isn't.
• 39:08
  That's like you before the
• 39:10
  game saying that everyone
• 39:11
  had a chance with Tia.
• 39:16
  Okay.
• 39:17
  Touche.
• 39:18
  Touche.
• 39:19
  This one's locked in.
• 39:20
  Andrea,
• 39:21
  with a fifty pound dumbbell thruster,
• 39:23
  you're looking at one of the strongest,
• 39:25
  if not the strongest in the field.
• 39:27
  Plus, she's got phenomenal gymnastics.
• 39:29
  Like,
• 39:29
  this is probably another win for Andrea.
• 39:35
  Caroline Klutz is an amazing athlete.
• 39:37
  She really is.
• 39:38
  Andrea Nistler's doing this
• 39:41
  to her is ridiculous.
• 39:44
  Yeah, I've been very impressed with her.
• 39:47
  Mackenzie Riley has jumped
• 39:49
  up into the podium position.
• 39:55
  Again, if you don't know,
• 39:56
  she has multiple time games athlete.
• 40:00
  No joke.
• 40:01
  This division is crazy.
• 40:06
  And mother of two.
• 40:10
  She has kids with her here doing it all.
• 40:15
  It's, it's amazing.
• 40:18
  All right, so let's go to the men.
• 40:23
  I would think that the same
• 40:24
  people that did well on the
• 40:25
  standard will do well on
• 40:26
  the one tomorrow.
• 40:27
  Like you got ring muscle-ups
• 40:28
  and bar muscle-ups,
• 40:29
  and then you have a
• 40:30
  dumbbell thruster versus
• 40:32
  the clean and jerk or snatch.
• 40:33
  Like it's very, very similar.
• 40:35
  It's going to be maybe a
• 40:38
  little bit more of a sprint, but yeah.
• 40:42
  Yeah,
• 40:42
  in the sixty five plus we have John
• 40:43
  George, Freddie Cherry, Dan Brannigan,
• 40:47
  John George and Freddie
• 40:48
  Cherry have been at the top
• 40:49
  the entire weekend.
• 40:52
  Dan Brannigan's a new one.
• 40:53
  David Hippenstiel has made a
• 40:54
  move today and Dan Miller
• 40:56
  fell back a little bit.
• 40:59
  Yeah,
• 41:00
  you're going to have a fight for that
• 41:02
  third place.
• 41:02
  And if you move up a little bit,
• 41:03
  those two in the top two or
• 41:05
  three points separating.
• 41:07
  So whoever wins that last one.
• 41:11
  Yeah.
• 41:12
  I had a long talk with David
• 41:13
  Hippenstiel today.
• 41:14
  This may be his last games.
• 41:19
  So he said he thought he announced it,
• 41:23
  but he said, because I probably said,
• 41:26
  I thought people aren't believing me.
• 41:33
  In the sixty to sixty four division,
• 41:36
  Joe Ames is in first, David Pound second,
• 41:38
  Tom family in third.
• 41:41
  I think the top two are the
• 41:43
  same as last night.
• 41:44
  Tom jumped from fourth to
• 41:46
  third and he's just a good guy.
• 41:48
  Glad to see him up there.
• 41:53
  But it's still tight.
• 41:55
  Anybody could move up into
• 41:56
  the podium position,
• 41:58
  especially Stuart Swanson
• 41:59
  is only twelve points back.
• 42:02
  Yeah, it's not much.
• 42:05
  When we go to fifty five to fifty nine,
• 42:08
  John Kim, Vic McQuaid, Mike Egan.
• 42:12
  Again,
• 42:12
  the first two have been in here all
• 42:14
  weekend.
• 42:15
  Shannon McKibben was in the
• 42:17
  top three and has dropped down.
• 42:19
  But again,
• 42:20
  it is a nine point lead for him
• 42:23
  to get back onto the podium.
• 42:29
  Fifty to fifty four.
• 42:31
  Jamie McGarva, Sean Ramirez,
• 42:34
  Justin Lasala.
• 42:37
  These names have kind of been here.
• 42:39
  Sean jumped from fourth to
• 42:40
  second with one event to go.
• 42:45
  But Jamie's been there all weekend.
• 42:47
  But he only has a nine-point lead.
• 42:52
  And the other two are tied
• 42:53
  for second and third.
• 42:55
  Those are very, very close.
• 42:56
  Yeah.
• 42:57
  Yeah.
• 43:01
  So then we go forty to forty nine.
• 43:04
  Jason Grubb in first,
• 43:06
  Robbie McCord in second,
• 43:08
  Robbie Perovich in third.
• 43:11
  Jason has not been in first all weekend.
• 43:14
  He's finally there going
• 43:15
  into the last event.
• 43:17
  He talked to me today, too,
• 43:20
  and like because the field is expanded,
• 43:23
  like mistakes are amplified
• 43:26
  and it's something that
• 43:27
  they have not had to deal
• 43:28
  with as Masters athletes before.
• 43:31
  One mistake and you can drop
• 43:33
  to twenty seventh.
• 43:35
  Like in years past,
• 43:36
  the furthest you could drop is tenth.
• 43:41
  You also have room for a
• 43:42
  little bit more specialists
• 43:43
  sometimes that have more holes.
• 43:47
  We can talk about it when we
• 43:48
  get to someone like Paul Tremblay,
• 43:49
  who gets, you know,
• 43:51
  yin and yang type of workouts,
• 43:52
  but you get that right with
• 43:54
  the with an expanded field
• 43:56
  where some some of those
• 43:58
  athletes sometimes have.
• 44:00
  great finishes and then
• 44:01
  lower finishes and they
• 44:02
  just middle you a little bit sometimes.
• 44:06
  Then forty to forty four,
• 44:08
  we have Jonathan Edel,
• 44:10
  Chicho Quesada and Julian Serna.
• 44:15
  Serna and Edel have been
• 44:16
  going back all week,
• 44:18
  go back and forth all weekend.
• 44:20
  Chicho has been consistently
• 44:23
  in that top three,
• 44:25
  but I don't think he's
• 44:26
  taken the lead yet.
• 44:28
  So that's where we sit with that one.
• 44:33
  And then the thirty five to thirty nine,
• 44:35
  we've talked about will a
• 44:36
  ton straight up savage.
• 44:39
  He would have to not show.
• 44:41
  And then Henry would have to win.
• 44:43
  Mm hmm.
• 44:46
  for that to happen.
• 44:47
  Henry Matthews,
• 44:49
  Stephanie Cosette is in
• 44:51
  third and Stefan and
• 44:54
  Bronislaw Alinkowitz is in
• 44:57
  fourth with only seven
• 44:58
  points behind Stefan.
• 45:02
  I met Bron today for the
• 45:03
  first time ever in person.
• 45:07
  The man's head is bigger than my chest.
• 45:14
  He is
• 45:16
  A massive human being and so funny.
• 45:22
  So he, we talked about,
• 45:24
  I think I talked about with somebody,
• 45:26
  he shaved off his hair.
• 45:28
  He used to have the little
• 45:29
  man bun kind of top thing.
• 45:31
  And I asked him today,
• 45:32
  like why he shaved it.
• 45:34
  And he said, uh,
• 45:35
  to make me faster on the
• 45:37
  run and it didn't work.
• 45:40
  And I just cracked up.
• 45:42
  I thought that was hilarious, but.
• 45:47
  The man can still Turkish
• 45:48
  get up an assault bike, right?
• 45:50
  Oh yeah.
• 45:54
  So those are the
• 45:55
  leaderboards going into the last day.
• 45:58
  We have a couple battles
• 46:00
  going on that are going to
• 46:01
  be fun to watch.
• 46:03
  I think tomorrow the action
• 46:04
  is going to be much faster
• 46:06
  and furious with less heats
• 46:09
  or less people in the heats
• 46:10
  where you could actually see more.
• 46:13
  I don't know if they're
• 46:13
  changing the floor.
• 46:14
  I hope they change the floor tomorrow.
• 46:18
  I doubt it.
• 46:21
  I think they'll just do one heat,
• 46:24
  but I don't think the
• 46:25
  layout will change much.
• 46:27
  Sadly.
• 46:31
  It's a quick one tomorrow.
• 46:32
  Eight minute time cap again.
• 46:34
  Yeah.
• 46:35
  How many workouts have been
• 46:37
  at that time cap?

• 47:15
  With that being said, it's been fun.
• 47:18
  There's been a lot of people there.
• 47:20
  It's just a different vibe
• 47:25
  than I've ever experienced
• 47:26
  at the CrossFit Games.
• 47:28
  And to have this many
• 47:29
  top-level Masters athletes
• 47:31
  have been super cool.
• 47:33
  And they have great stories.
• 47:36
  And it's very family friendly.
• 47:37
  Like there are kids running around,
• 47:39
  there are dogs there.
• 47:42
  It's just a really good time
• 47:45
  for families to kind of hang out.
• 47:48
  I think that's what I like the most.
• 47:49
  Like I love seeing, you know, the masters.
• 47:52
  And then there was a video on, um,
• 47:55

  And it was like these little
• 47:56
  kids cheering for, I don't know,
• 47:59
  their grandpa, something,
• 48:01
  maybe it's their dad,
• 48:02
  but probably their grandpa
• 48:03
  doing the workout.
• 48:04
  And it's just like the kids
• 48:05
  being so excited to watch, you know,
• 48:07
  their parent or grandparent compete.
• 48:10
  Um, that's what it's all about.
• 48:12
  It's super cute.
• 48:12
  It's like you said, it's family.
