@adafitchfe It is perfectly normal to use kgs rather than lbs for an event run in Madrid, Spain. European boxes and event organizers own kg-based weights, and European spectators are not familiar with lbs. However, converting lbs into kgs should be simple enough that even CrossFit can get...

@jarvis75 Indeed I was surprised. I admit it.

@jakesmith99 You get better at bench press by bench pressing more often and, more generally, by more chest volume (and to a lesser extend triceps). Crossfit only rarely programs bench press, nor any other heavy chest exercise. All that overhead work does not translate well to bench press...

@mixpanema For most people, BW bench press is harder than 1.5xBW deadlift. But crossfitters tend to not train bench press much.

@lovejustice Sports watches use a different, incompatible five zone model. That's why. Very confusing.

@jyne It isn't for naught. 60-70% of your maxHR is still useful cardio. It just isn't the same as zone 2 in the sense of zone 2 training, but slightly easier than that, and thus a slightly different stimulus. The whole zones approach is a simplification. The aerobic threshold depends on...

@lisa1971 There are altogether 26 bones in a foot. Sometimes, you can compete well with a broken foot bone, sometimes you can't compete at all.

@jyne OP uses Karvonen's formula, where Z2=60-70% of heart rate reserve. In Karvonen's formula, the aerobic threshold is at 0.7*(max HR-resting HR)+resting HR. With OP's numbers, that results in 131.4-144.3 for Z2, with the caveat that this is an estimate, not an exact range. You are using a...

@thespeedboy The 14 minute cap was way too high. Then they had to schedule the heats according to this cap.

@giftsigns Crossfit and unwatchable coverage because there is only one camera. Name a more iconic duo.
