On February 12-13, 2008, a CrossFit HQ staff went to Alamo CrossFit in San Antonio, TX for a special Level 1 certification seminar. Members of the Warrior Transition Battalion from the Brooke Army Medical Center gathered to learn the basics of functional movement and how to scale for any starting point.

In this video from CrossFit Again Faster, the trainers collected for a post-cert workout. They do a team version of 2min Defense. The workout was:

1 Full power clean
3 Hang squat cleans
2 Push press/jerk
Run 100ft

The men used 135lbs. Jolie and Drew (recovering from an injury) used 95lbs. One partner completed the above sequence while the other rested. When both had finished, that constituted one round. The workout was ten rounds for time.

Tony was the oldest competitor, so he got to partner with Brian, who ended up being the fastest by far, and they got to set up in front for the shortest run. Call these unfair advantages if you must, but this will always be known as the time when Tony Budding beat Chuck Carswell in a running workout.
