Hell's Half Acre Update




Wow, what a great event GSX and Tucker have organized! The pics are from top to bottom:
  • Tucker and crew laying down the law to the athletes, coaches, judges and spectators regarding the WODs and performance standards.
  • Tucker briefing the coaches - I am on the right hand side of the picture.
  • GSX's wicked outdoor play area, affectionately know as "Hell's Half Acre".
I cannot express what a professional event they have put together. They have vendors providing food, beverages, trigger point therapy; Jon Gilson and his Again Faster film crew is there to capture everything for CrossFit HQ, they have a giant 20 foot by 30 foot jumbo tron screen so everyone in the gallery can see the action on the field, they have a ton of kit for the WODs, they have Angela Hart from Concept 2 rowing there to take care of the 18 rowers on hand, they have medical staff, security - nothing has been forgotten and everything about the event epitomized detailed planning and professionalism.
On top of all of this, there are some of the top CrossFit athletes in the nation participating!
Here are the WODs:
Saturday - WOD 1:
Row 500m
10 Squat Clean & Jerk (105lbs/155lbs)
Row 500m
10 Squat Clean & Jerk
Row 500m
10 Squat Clean & Jerk
WOD 2: (totally sick! - expect to see it...)
50 chest to bar pull-ups
50 burpees
Mel thinks the top times for this will be in the 7-8 minute range - we'll see if she's right.
Sunday's WOD:
Came from the Hopper Deck - how cool is that! I can't tell you yet but it's NOT Murph.
C'mon up and join the fun tomorrow for the final WOD and sport some Centurion colors!
