2023 NoBull CrossFit Games IE 1 - Ride Discussion Thread

[ezie]

@jonjones229 dumb question... i just tuned in. why are they running their bikes a couple hundred meters at a time??

 

[hallbee66]

@ezie Makes the event more difficult as it (for example) breaks the rhythm.

 

[openmyheart]

@ezie It's a cyclocross thing I think.

 

[rubberrodent]

@ezie It's just part of the event

 

[rubberrodent]

@jonjones229 If you started a new lap before the 40 minutes you get to finish that lap?

 

[openmyheart]

@rubberrodent Yes

 

[rubberrodent]

@openmyheart Ty

 

[kennybest]

@jonjones229 They all made the fucking gate by 40 seconds

 

[rodrei]

@kennybest No quite a few got flagged off the course.

 

[kennybest]

@rodrei Of the chasing pack that Chase was referring to as not making the so called gate which was really just a man with a cone

 

[rodrei]

@kennybest Ah gotcha

 

[evamore]

@jonjones229 Why would I want to do an extra lap? Could I get off the bike and just walk it? They need to explain the points to make this make sense. Otherwise I'd just be giving myself more work to recover from.

 

[jarvis75]

@evamore She has to because she’s on the same lap as everyone else who made the gate. She still has to maintain her lead.

 

[kennybest]

@evamore Lawson made the "gate" by 2 full minutes

The chasing pack by 45 seconds

It was complete faux bullshit from Chase

 

[jarvis75]

@jonjones229 Do the Indy men get to watch the women compete? Or are they corralled somewhere?

 

[hallbee66]

@jonjones229 Could someone please explain how the event ends? I missed it. Or can I read it somewhere (tried to find information, didn’t find anything)?

 

[kennybest]

@hallbee66 Big gate comes down, if you've passed the gate, it's a fight to the end with no laws

 

[dawn16]

@kennybest I’m trying really hard to piggyback off this idea for a joke and drop a “Lawson” somewhere in it for the no laws part. But I’m too tired. But I like this idea so take an upvote.

 

[harry_ivanator]

@kennybest If by big gate you mean a couple people running onto the track with cones and orange flags. A few of the women snuck by one or two seconds late because they almost mowed down the cone guys.

 

[hallbee66]

@kennybest Thank you! But what if they don’t pass the gate? Many won’t.
