    Calculating how much the games athletes won

    So we saw on the podium that first place takes home $285k in the form of a giant novelty cheque - but there is prize money all the way down to 20th place as well (taking home $5k). On top of that you win prize money for placing in each individual event. $3k for first, $2k for second and $1k...

    L2 Course Workouts

    My L1 is expiring and I decided to take my L2 in a few weeks instead of just renewing my L1. I’m 3 months postpartum (will be 4 months when I take my course) and had a pretty rough pregnancy that ended with a c-section, so I haven’t lifted consistently for about a year. I’ve been doing...

    Srs question about the Sport of Crossfit(tm)

    I think this year has been very exciting, and is unique within the sporting landscape. Yes, it can be silly upon first glance (whatsa box jump and why so many?) but once any sports fan sees the competitive part of it, it all clicks. So, Question: What other sport is 1) individual (not team v...

    Seeking replacement sneaker for the inov-8 f-lite 235 gen 2

    Improving my rowing

    (Context: 61 y/o male, 162 pounds, 5'7") I can row 500 m and stay focused and keep the pace in the range of 2:05-2:15. I can go to 1000m and perform in a pretty similar range (say 2:10-2:20). But when we do these assessments that involve rowing for 15 or 20 minutes, I just fall apart...
