@audmanout You honestly think they would enforce that? I think its more of a mental challenge for the athletes - just like no music. Intimidation tactic to keep them on their toes. "Not enough effort" is too subjective to be enforced fairly. I don't think they will have to drop the hammer and I...

@the_laconic_dead its like when you see a car crash happening in slow motion. nooooo

@the_laconic_dead I seriously hope not... maybe the only rule was to run to the red pylon and the black ones are just suggestions? Or warnings for the ravine? If it was a major misstep, I'd hope the announcers would have addressed it. I guess we will find out.

@wvchristian Ever since my gym has been doing outdoor workouts, we don't have music as not to bother the neighbors. Tbh I don't even realize its gone.

@dan_r that was amazing!! I am watching at work and skipping around the live feed. Once Tia won and Kat was like... 25 reps behind, I skipped forward to the end to see she came in 4th and was like, "holy fuck what did i miss" and had to rewind! Wild!!!

@jennifaith Let me propose two scenarios: In Scenario A, you make the gym and nutrition your #1 focus in life. You are extremely precise with weighing and measuring your food and hitting your macros. You religiously show up to the gym and progress your lifts. Your life is consumed by seeing a...

@jasonrporter0316 yeah, but he still cruised in last rather than withdrawing to let another uninjured athlete actually compete. Not saying what he did was right/wrong, but I'm sure they want to prevent that again because it doesn't make for great TV.

@mikelore I thought the same thing, but I think it would just count as strategy. Why not take every chance for rest that you can get? Clearly she is giving more effort than everyone else to take the lead. I imagine the rule is to prevent what Moorad did when he just did the work requirement and...

@jonjones229 Its worth noting that Kat had a significant back injury this winter and Ben said she wasn't able to lift for awhile. I'm sure shes still dealing with that and nervous to put so much weight overhead.

@azythum Super curious - how do you get broken up with via shoe?

@ppaws45 I personally struggled with partner wods, too, mainly because I didn't have a go-to partner. I had several people I was friendly with and saw each day, but no one close enough to be an automatic partner. I would get anxiety about being "picked last" and the awkward look around the gym...

@jesse1354 I have a long history with Whole30 and sugar-free diets. I was the biggest promoter at first. It was hard and made me realize how prevalent sugar is. The sugar-hangover during the first few days was a major eye opener. By the end of the 30 days, I felt great and had no cravings...
