Last Saturday Colt and Josh competed in the SuperFit Games. It was a big CrossFit competition held at CrossFit Forney. The competition was supposed to be a yin-yang type competition geared towards one partner having an advantage in the weight category and the other in gymnastics. The workouts and weight of the workouts ended up making it not as yin-yang though. Colt and Josh competed in the RX division and they did great! They were going against some really good competitors with experience and they ended up getting 14th out of 26 teams! If they would've been top 5 and made it to finals, I think they would've done great in that workout too because it was varied and would've probably been right up their alley. The competition consisted of 3 workouts and lasted pretty much the whole day.
The 1st WOD was:
"Pullups/Cleans"
5 minutes AMRAP (as many rounds as possible)
Pullups (1 rep = 1 point)
Cleans (185 lb.) (1 rep = 5 points)
They ended focusing on all cleans because of how the points were weighted. They thought they could get 1 clean quicker than they could 5 reps of pullups. They finished the WOD with zero pullups and 76 cleans which put them in 12th place after WOD 1.
The 2nd WOD was:
"Deadlifts/Pistols"
4 minutes AMRAP Deadlifts (275 lbs.)
1 minute rest
4 minutes AMRAP Pistols
Colt hadn't ever really done pistols due to his knees and Josh had never tried them until the day before the competition! Colt was depending on Josh to pick them up. Luckily he was able to! They ended up doing 85 deadlifts and 98 pistols. I think they dropped to 19th place in that event.
After the 2nd WOD, we went to our house and grabbed some lunch before the 3rd WOD.
The third WOD was:
"Lunges/Burpees"
9 minutes AMRAP
50 foot overhead walking lunges
40 hand-release burpees
After the 3rd WOD, they ended up in 14th place overall!
