im pretty sure there was only ONE person with that damn backpack on.
I was more focused on finding L Fish for a pic... NO LUCK
bummer!!!
I'm starting to wonder what kind of evolution the crossfit games will have over the next few years. 4 years ago I looked at it as something that if I really focused on I might be able to get to. Now I look at it as a, yeah right there is no way I could do 50% of it. Aside from men, women, masters, teen... you have to wonder if they will evolve the groupings to weight classes, or if they'll start determining weights for events by percentage of body weight or something along those lines to keep things competitive and people interested in training for them.
Grid League will probably fold by the end of 2016. It's just a money pit at this point. There were like 45 people at the "championships" last year, and even less at the opener this year. Also the fact that their matches are televised on tape delay sometimes weeks apart doesn't help.
and that fact that the teams dont even play in the area they are from.
From what I hear the TV Contract with NBCsports is what is funding the majority of it. If they were to lose that they would be done, but yeah I didn't know anything about it until the woman from my gym posted something on facebook about it. The time of day they aired it was weird too, 4:30 MST on a Tuesday? I DVR'd it and watched it later that night... I guess it's a good thing that DVR recordings are starting to be more prominent in the ratings.
yea man. its mad strange. i do photography for a couple teams on GRID and ill shoot a match on a sunday, but then a month or two later nbc sports will post online about the match airing on thursday at 1pm EST
To be completely honest, as a person who is nerdy as can be about competitive exercise, Grid is one of the most boring things to watch. I've been to a couple live events and they're slightly more entertaining in person, but watching it on tv or online it's just like background noise while I text people...
who from your gym is from the Miami Surge? I'm from Berkeley CrossFit, and her teammate, Charis Chan, trains at my gym. Nice to see some sort of random connection on here. haha
agreed...bike at the end was very anti-climactic..peg board was interesting though, along with the 50 worm clean and jerks
I forgot about that. I like the swimming events...it does force athletes further (farther?) away from specialization. A couple of years ago in the pool they had to swim and then do something like bar muscle-ups or pull-ups...that was a good couplet IMO. The open water swim was good, but paddle board for a mile and the result is not going to be that much different.
