2022 NoBull CrossFit Games IE11: The Alpaca

[dawn16]

@jonjones229 Totally different workout without the rope climbs. That sucks

 

[blerim83]

@dawn16 Sucks for Haley

 

[selu]

@dawn16 Laura Horvath sigh of relief

 

[zspa]

@selu Laura’s actually good at rope climbs, she’s a former rock climber so it complements her abilities

 

[selu]

@zspa That’s interesting, I didn’t know that.

That said, I still think she’ll benefit from the lack of LRCs. She tends to be a bit below average (for her level) when relying on upper limbs only for body weight stuff.

 

[zspa]

@selu For pushing (aka HSPU), yes. Her arms are extremely long, and she’s just not good at it. Not for pulling like rope climbs or the peg board events where she excels.

 

[cecilia102]

@dawn16 Yeah, that was gonna be the separation of athletes. Brooke Wells got a lucky break.

@jonjones229 So this just turned into a straight up meathead event. This will be interesting.

 

[chakmach]

@jonjones229 No rope climbs, sad

 

[openmyheart]

@jonjones229 No rope climbs due to rain.

 

[enochswalk]

@jonjones229 How long is the delay?

 

[lilypham0606]

@jonjones229 Let's see who has anything left in the tank!

@jonjones229 Fun event this one (again). Gonna all be about proficiency on those KB C&Js. Gonna be brutal on legs and arms, pumped for this.

@jonjones229 The thunderstorm looked quite bad overnight. Hope it doesn't screw the event.

 

[kiravladimirovna]

@sonia5555 100% chance of storms with flood watch here at Madison. May not be doing the alpaca outside

 

[fearey]

@kiravladimirovna Still pouring here, can’t see how this can happen outside?

 

[pedianephro]

@jonjones229 Hmm this seems like wont be much of a separator to me. I guess we will see a jumbled up board but likely your fastest competitors will take this too in my opinion. Not an endurance style.

 

[subbasement]

@pedianephro Rumor is the legless rope climbs start from an l-sit and require a legless descent as well. If that’s the case, the rope climbs will become the separator.

 

[kraahkan]

@subbasement That’s what it looked like in the demo video

@jonjones229 Can we get just one classic CrossFit workout with a heavy barbell? It would really round this thing out. Something like heavy DT with a pull-up / C2B / BMU progression ?
