2020 CrossFit Games Finals Event 1: 2007 Reload

@jonjones229 Is pacing one of these things you either have or not? I really cant understand how he can struggle with it so consistently. Feel bad for him!

@jonjones229 And he did the same dang thing on during the Buttery Bros games training visit - WOD started with biking for cals as the by-in, he went out too hot and died. Maybe if his coach was there it could have pulled him back a little. Arrrrrrgh so frustrating!

 

[ezie]

@jonjones229 i mean. i dont see Mat making this kind of mistake and finishing ANYTHING dead last. his games (finals) might be over before they even started...

 

[audmanout]

@jonjones229 Someone is going to get injuried with this dumb zero rule

 

[hbyej60]

@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 don't think any of the athletes would "give up" anyway.

 

[ledbythespirit]

@audmanout I missed the explanation, what’s the zero rule?

 

[mom2alex]

@ledbythespirit 0 points for giving up

 

[wvchristian]

@ledbythespirit Have to show you are giving your all or zero points. Can’t take the L and move on.

 

[jonjones229]

Ohlsen and coming out too hot, name a more iconic duo

 

[coreya8652]

@jonjones229 Looks like Vellner event 1 last season. Came to event 1 to prove to Mat he can compete, rather than staying in your own lane.

 

[wvchristian]

@jonjones229 Damn. He seems to be struggling.

 

[dan_r]

@jonjones229 Beat me to it. The rower ate him up

 

[daughtermolly]

@jonjones229 Why the big weight discrepancy between the men and women?

 

[jonjones229]

@daughtermolly It's in the standard range. They typically go between about .6 and .7 of the weight of the men for the women

 

[anneka]

@jonjones229 Yeah but the usual women’s weight for 225 is 155. Interesting to see them go lighter on the women and heavier on the men.

Maybe because the same distance row and bmu.

 

[jcermin]

@jonjones229 Between watching Tia and Matt run away with this I can see this being quite a dull competition. Hope I'm proven wrong!

 

[dawn16]

@jonjones229 Anyone know why the row is for time instead of just a buy-in? Will they be using the row time for a tie-breaker or a separately scored event?

 

[jonjones229]

@dawn16 It is just a buy-in.

The for time is the entirety of it

 

[primrosehill]

@jonjones229 What was with the comment of Adler not being competitive? Doesn’t make sense to me.

 

[praywithoutceasing2012]

@primrosehill In an interview he said he's happy just being in the top 5 and he's there for fun.
