The 2009 CrossFit Games is this weekend.
Here are the WOD's for Day 1.
Event 1 - The Run
The first event is a 7.1km run through varied terrain including both
asphalt and extremely steep hills off trail. The athlete's time will be
electronically determined by a chip given to the athlete prior to the
race.
Event 2 - The Deadlift
Heaviest successful deadlift completed lifting one rep every 30sec.
Each competitor will begin at the first barbell, which weighs 315lbs
for men and 185lbs for women. Dropping is permitted. The athlete then
has 10sec plus any portion of the 20sec remaining to set up at the next
bar, which is 10lbs heavier than the previous (so the second bar weighs
325/195). Athletes continue moving to progressively heavier bars until
they fail. The athletes are ranked according to the heaviest successful
weight lifted before failing.
Event 3 - The Sandbag Hill Sprint
The men will pick up two 35lb sandbags (loosely packed) and sprint
approximately 170m uphill. The sandbags begin flat on the ground. The
sprint is steep in places, with approximately 100' in elevation gain
over the 170m course. Women carry one 35lb sandbag for the same course.
Event 4 - Row / Hammer Stake
Row 500m
Hammer a 4' metal stake into specially prepared, evenly compacted ground (women use a 3' stake)
Row 500m
Details and standards will be given to the athletes on Saturday afternoon.
Event 5 - The Couplet
The two exercises are wallball and barbell snatch. The specifics of the
workout will be disclosed on Saturday afternoon. We want the athletes
to have the privilege of being the first to perform this exact workout.
Hey Guys,
I just wanted to drop in and say thanks for all the support! You are so awesome! Day one is over and only the top 16 are getting to compete today. (I think I finished yesterday in 27th..?? )It is kind of a bummer because yesterday was so much fun, and I feel like I could give a lot more still today, but it was still an incredible time and worth coming out for! I'll give Trebor a full report later. Thanks so much everyone! I can't wait for the next opportunity to visit CFV. Talk to you all soon!
