@jonjones229 Kwant won that on the assault bike. Fraser's coach can now breath a sigh of relief he didn't cost him the weekend sweep.

@jonjones229 Is Tia part dolphin? What the hell lol

 

[josephmetalman]

@dawn16 She’s Australian. Seems like most athletes from there who compete in CrossFit swim well.

 

[rachelr15]

@josephmetalman From my own experience growing up in Australia, there's a pretty strong focus on swimming and running, idk what it's like in other countries though?

 

[sonofabraham]

@dawn16 Right?? The gaps she pulled out in the pool were unreal.

 

[brdbroken]

@dawn16 She was a triathlete. She's for sure swam more than any of the other competitors. I don't know if she did youth swimming etc either on top of that. Swimming is deceiving because it's all relatively slow-watch the Olympics as the old guys walking along the side of the pool are keeping up with a world record sprint.

Tia is an above average swimmer, compared to everyone else that is average. If Tia is swimming, let's be generous and say 2.5mph, the average swimmer is probably 2mph. Easy math, shes 25% faster. That explains the massive difference.

For real perspective, Phelps was clocked at just over 4.6mph in the 200m, which was the fastest recorded speed of a human in water.

@brdbroken I'm gonna stick with my dolphin theory

 

[brdbroken]

@dawn16 LOL fair enough!

 

[audmanout]

@jonjones229 That was a quality event to watch

 

[leslie735]

@audmanout I thoroughly enjoyed it! I didn't think I would like the cumulative time but it was neat to see it all play out, and I loved the change up with the swim!

 

[expressforsuccess]

@jonjones229 I’m not sure about the ball slams.

For training, excellent. Competition? Gonna be a no for me dog.

Am I still going to watch every second of the event?

You betcha.

 

[mrscutright52612]

@expressforsuccess I would’ve preferred something like a d-ball over the shoulder. But what do I know? They’ve tested these, so we will see very soon.

 

[expressforsuccess]

@mrscutright52612 Tbh that would be sweet. Badass idea.

 

[stairesdustin86]

@expressforsuccess Totally agree. They must have considered how they judge it....but I cant see a way they tell if the athlete just goes through the motions

 

[stairesdustin86]

@expressforsuccess And we were immediately proved right

 

[lookinside]

@expressforsuccess Where the wall balls at

 

[holly957]

@expressforsuccess Brick Wells has just flat out quit. She's busted, emotionally, nothing left

Karissa can't figure out the slam ball, or the GHD, or the bike.

Haley is awesome as usual, and but Tia is their queen and they will kneel before her in this event, just like all the others.

 

[mdivoak]

@holly957 Brick Wells needs a new a couch!

 

[annam23]

@mdivoak I bet she’ll be happy with any couch after the last event!
