@jonjones229 just give it to Roman already

@rentalman this was also funny I think, to give some additional context, because I think the sheet of paper the interviewer was holding said something like, "Ask him about Rich," and I think Fraser had seen that and was preempting it

@jonjones229 this is the event I came for. fuck classic CF I cannot wait to see a bunch of people die sprinting up a hill

@davies2454 eh yeah if they're vaccinated, which I would think they are, then COVID isn't a real deal anymore. though I think Brooke may or may not even already have had COVID from what I remember so she should be doubly immunized now with the vaccine.

@jackaharts I can see the rational. it's not just travel, it's training days lost, +/- the days before and after travel. roughly speaking it's like almost a week of good quality training days you'd lose, if you factor in like recovery from being disrupted from routine and what not. the Games are...

@jonjones229 Raptis with a huge win there. the final women's heat is going to be super fun - it's looking like it's 2 spots for 3 people (Speegle, Raptis, Huckaby), with a very tight points spread meaning other heat scores will factor. the last event is 15 RMU + speed clean ladder, and i'm...

@justprayproject just commenting about the frat vibe in the early CF days. think of it this way: does Shane slap Tia's ass b/w workouts? I don't think so.

@dereklirus early days CF was so, so cringe. like basically a fraternity that worked out a lot and partied hard. without naming names, I remember a behind the scenes of like, the 2010 or 2011? first years of Carson. a still well known coach and his wife were both competing. said coach slaps...

@zongruger eh, I wouldn't really say the run/sled/run is about pacing or anything - that's a quick event, it's really about capacity, and at the end of the day his top end capacity just isn't as good as I'm guessing Kwant and Fraser who were just basically able to hang on just for a bit longer...

@zongruger Noah got 2nd though with this supposedly too hot pacing style. isn't that fine?

@neonm probably sees the same therapist that the camerman who almost killed by Khalipa also sees

@jonjones229 the aggressive no reps after when people fail squat cleans is hilarious. yes, it's required. but like I'm pretty sure they know haha

@jonjones229 Suvanasai should have been no repped just for setting the sport as a whole back a couple of years and giving the haters what they want, but hey. I'm happy he didn't break his wrists.

@joshuanazar i was waiting for him to tng some bars the whole time Iwas watching. I really appreciate that he tried though, even if he didn't make it and even missed his next attempt.

@jonjones229 will be interesting to see how the last chance qualifiers go, and the kind of events they program. it's quite a brutal cut - top 2 only, out of ~30 athletes or so, and then it's such a quick turn around after the Games. I'm guessing, or would be hoping, that it should be very few...

@jonjones229 When Legless first came out in 2013, the top woman time was Pichelli (9:33.7). Pearce blew that away with ~6:20. On the other hand, nearly a third of the field (9 women) still got capped (10:00), and thus lost to Pichelli's time in 2013, in which legless rope climbs were first...

OK this got way long as I typed it up. If anyone even freaking reads it, good for you. I feel much better after this, so if anything this will function as an exercise in partial public therapy. I'm not surprised that the S.HSPU has come out, but with the varying judging standards + internal...

@pilgramspirit data at OPEX suggests somewhere that a 1:1 ratio between power clean and close grip bench is indication of good balance for sport of fitness (holding other things like newness to the power clean movement/bench and stuff constant) can't remember where I read this but if you...

@theinformer Hate him all you want, but I guarantee you - your training now and should look more like Hunters than any games athlete. (This tells you something about fitness and how it’s defined in CrossFit). Rich froning trains more like Hunter than he trains like the Games peeps he surrounds...

@grace4nan its part of the whole unknown and unknowable thing - can you clean while holding back a big shit? also, re: their being the same events; a cursory look at the Men's leaderboard for both events (you can look yourself) suggests that your result in IE6 was a big predictor for result in...
