“In implementation, this looks like sport. This is revolutionary. It's as distinctive of the program as are the movements and the charter of functionality and variance. Our workouts are competitive events.
The strength and value of CrossFit lies entirely within our dominance of other athletes. This is a truth divined through competition, not debate.”
Greg Glassman, CrossFit Co-Founder & CEO

Aww yaaa keep those newsflashes comin'!!
Just done the deadlift/burpee split. That was hell and that was in my local gym! Ill see you there next year!
Fredastere I'm not seeing any newsflashes when I click on the link. Are you seeing something I am not?
I'm not seeing any results either, but maybe it's just to early in the competition right now, but I'll be looking for some results soon
Adam,
I'm not seeing anything niether...
just hit refresh until something pops-out hehe
First wave must not even be finish tho
and then the second one will start almost as it finishs.
They should have made a deal with some TV companie or something to broacast it!!!
*waiting patiently and hitting refresh every couple of minutes*
Yeah, at Crossfit NC I did the run, Fran, and the DL/Burpee WOD all as rx'd with ten minutes rest between each.
4 hours might have been a little nicer.
I have a feeling I'll be checking this page obsessively over the next 48 hours.
I'm sure they want to use a lot of the footage for the Crossfit documentary, but yeah - some live streaming feed would be really nice. Next your HQ?

Coach mentioned that ESPN was shooting footage at the games on the mainsite!

You have much more patience than myself. Crossfit is my crack, I need my fix DAMMIT!
going crazy here -
I had to cancel a trip down there this morning at the last second.
NEWSFLASHES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Adam-
"Crossfit is my crack"- so funny! I said the same thing this morning....I have to take a week off due to injury, and when I saw the WOD today, I so wanted to play. I'm not sure if I can sit on the sidelines for a week, but I know in my head I need to - I too may have a problem, haha...Crossfit is like breathing to me, and there's no where I feel more alive than at my box...
Crossfit is my crack - too true for comfort.
And we're in cold turkey - everyone is at Freddy's RV sipping margueritas instead of sorting out the updates...
I know a little. Speal got a 2:41 on the deadlift workout and Dutch got a 2:51. That's from Ken C. He also said the fastest hill run was 3:29. OPT's Fran time was 3:53 and Freddy's was 5:06. That's a little slower than normal.
W00t w00t
info is starting to leak out!!
wooohooo
For love of God thank you Andy P! BTW while I have been waiting for updates, I have been practicing handstands. Just set a PR of 32 seconds, I am now going to try and top that.
Andy P..finally...thanks!
Any word on how the big guys did on the Deadlift/Bupee and the Fran?
Thank you Andy P! Sweet merciful crap that's fast on the deadlifts...Amazing. Did anyone break a three minute Fran? I'm really looking forward to next year when this will be, at the very least, webcast.
I'd love some info on how Josh Everett and Matt Murski are doing. Any of the tall guys, I just don't see how anyone much past 5'8" has a prayer against performances like we're seeing from Speal and Dutch.
thank you for the info Andy !
Those chest to bar pull-ups are definitely making fran a lot more painful !
Conorb, are you saying "short guys" have an advantage in XFIT? According to the "horsepower formula" you might be right.....Distance travelled you know?
I heard a lot of people have to re-do reps on Fran. Pull-up standard.
Yeah, it's no secret that being short can convey some huge advantages. Now, when they break out the rowers on sunday you'll see the big guys start to shine a bit more. But on balance, I think there's far more in crossfit that the short guys have the edge on. (Full disclosure, I'm 6'5" and curse my long limbs and heavy body every time I step foot into the gym.)
Heard a little more. Fran times are real down. People are deciding it's better to break up the pullups. OPT was doing singles at the end. Speal won the deadlift thing and was apparently neck and neck with a guy named Ricky Frausto but Ricky got fouled on some of his lifts and came in 2nd.
Some guy named Mike Giradino or something like that got a bunch of no counts on the thrusters during Fran that hurt his time.
Bionic got a 4:20 or 4:30 on the Fran.
Josh Everett came in 2nd in the hill climb in his first round but he was wrecked. People had to carry him off cos he was so tired.
That's all I know. Sorry the info is so sporadic. People are texting me.
Sorry. Results are posted and a lot of my info was wrong. Just gossip I guess.
Andy P...where are the results posted? am I missing something?
Just got the top three from each event after the first round - thought I'd share:
DL/Burpees
1 - Matt Chan - 2:33
2 - Speal - 2:41
3 - Jeremy Jones - 2:42
Run
Breck Berry - 3:25
Jess Bloomberg - 3:25
Josh Everet - 3:44
Fran
Jeff Tincher - 3:33
OPT - 3:51
Jason Kalitua - 3:56
Hope we get some more official results soon - as far as I know, there's nothing official posted yet!
LFei, the results are at the main games page. http://games.crossfit.com
Also, Josh Everett was not 3rd in the run. Roland Cantu was 3rd with 3:33.
I wonder how round 2 is going...
speal is in first after 2 RDS, still has the run left which he won last year.
That is a pretty inhuman effort by Speal on the deadlift thing; I believe that is more than 2x body weight for him.
It's 0359 on 080706 here in Iraq and I am loving the updates. I can't sleep.
Way to put out guys and gals, keep up the great work!
can we get some info on the ladies please?
i am hitting my refresh button like i am doin it for time!!!!is round 3 done yet? next year live streaming video please!
what's going on? aaahhhhhh i wish i was there!
