Lucas Parker and Aja Barto tied for 1st in the "Clean and Jerk Ladder" event for the men by hitting a 345lb C&J and moving on to clean 355lb!

Amanda Goodman won the women's event. Christy Phillips, still in 3rd overall, closed the gap down to 1 point behind 2nd overall Alessandra Pichelli. Lindsey Valenzuela (known for her lifting in CrossFit land--see "Lift Like Lindsey!") tied for 2nd in the event and is now solidly in 4th overall.

Froning came in 3rd in the event (345lb), but Khalipa tied for 7th (335lb). This now puts Froning in 1st overall by 6 points!

This event is the very first CrossFit Games workout ever from back in 2007. For the uninitiated, there is nearly always a recycled workout in the Open, Regionals, and even the Games from a previous year in order to provide some hard data on athletic performance improvements as people train using the CrossFit methodology year after year.

Evidently the timeline put out on the CrossFit Games site was WAY wrong!

Valerie Voboril and Josh Bridges won "2007" last night. The winning time for this WOD in the 2007 Games was 13:07 set by Brett Marshall (the winning women's time was over 16 minutes). Voboril took the event in the last heat with a time of 9:48 and Bridges won with a time of 8:33. Only one woman missed the 15-min time cap, but she was only a few reps shy of completion, so I think it's safe to say that the fitness level of Games athletes has improved significantly since 2007!

Froning increased his lead over Khalipa from 6 points to 22 points, and Bridges' victories yesterday have moved him up to 6th overall.

Briggs is still in 1st overall, and Voboril's performance yesterday has moved her into 3rd overall above Christy Phillips. Even though Voboril and Phillips have the same number of points, Voboril is ranked above Phillips due to her 1st place finish last night in "2007."
