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!
anyone having trouble getting to espn 3 online?
No, it’s working fine here. The next event isn’t on yet, though.
6 point lead for Rich ..... These folk are crazy strong.
Impressive.
Stay safe !
Predictions for winners .....
Fronting first, Bridges second for Men’s overall
Sam Briggs , first, Christy Phillips second overall
My serious wild ass guess aka swag on the end game.
Stay safe !
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."
28 JULY (SUNDAY)
SPRINT CHIPPER
11AM Pacific
21 Med Ball GHD Sit-ups
15 Snatches
9 Wall Burpees
Top 30 Men and Top 30 Women Advance to the Final
And the winners of the “Sprint Chipper” are Rich Froning and Sam Briggs, also our two overall 1st place athletes!
Jason Khalipa came in 4th place which extended Froning’s overall lead from 22 points to 37 points. Garrett Fisher is still in 3rd overall, but Ben Smith is only 5 points behind him.
Christy Phillips placed 26th, dropping her to overall 6th place. However, Lindsey Valenzuela came in at 9th which moved her up to 3rd overall.
Froning where he belongs as usual.
THE CINCO 1
2PM Pacific on ESPN 2
For time:
Three rounds of:
5 Deadlifts (405 / 265 lbs)
5 weighted One-legged squats, left leg (53 / 35 lb KB)
5 weighted One-legged squats, right leg (53 / 35 lb KB)
Then,
80’ Handstand walk
Time Cap: 7 minutes, The Cinco 2 begins precisely 1 minute after the time cap.
THE CINCO 2
Three rounds of:
5 Muscle-ups
5 Deficit handstand push-ups
Then,
90’ Overhead walking lunge (165 / 100 lb axle bar)
Time Cap: 7 minutes
I can deadlift 405lbs a total of zero times.
I can do it, but the weighted pistols would kill me. I can’t handstand walk. I can’t do muscle-ups (yet). I might be able to kip a couple of deficit HSPUs, but that’s a big “might.” I’ve done overhead lunges before, but only with a 45lb plate.
This is gonna be a bastard of a workout.
Correction to the time/channel of the last events:
They will begin airing on ESPN 3 (online) at 2PM Pacific. The final heats will air on ESPN 2 (on TV) at 4PM Pacific.
I did 365 once and strained a tendon in my foot. I’m only 190lbs at 6’2”. I can do the muscle ups and HSPU though.
Ah, I gotcha. I’m 6’, 250lb, so the weight-lifting stuff is fairly easy for me. Gymnastics and metcon kick my butt (although I’m improving steadily on the gymnastics piece).
Congrats to Sam Briggs—Fittest Woman on Earth!
Congrats to her.
I want Annie to come back and win next year though.
And Rich Froning makes it a threepeat! 2011, 2012, and 2013 Games Champion!
