Ranch Loop - 2020 CrossFit Games

[@vickyburton2434]

As a long distance runner , I can tell you this is extremely difficult for these muscle bound athletes! I am very proud of how well they are doing.💗. Six miles is a long race!

[@caitlingrover12]

Yeah I am a long distance runner and I was just like I am so glad I never had to do this cross more and more as it went on

[@grievous5243]

It really is only people who exercise would know

[@Vincent44483]

Yes, and also remember that this is not a smooth ground, u have to run across the hills as well.

[@kingdomcome1617]

@@Vincent44483 Yep, the elevation changes and uneven ground make them use muscles running on asphalt/concrete could not prepare them for. Using way more stabilizing muscles than you would running a regular 6mile loop on the road.

[@chris-chenlel]

@@kingdomcome1617 personally i find uneven ground easier to run on idk why .but i get what u mean

[@GW18907]

Matt Frazier is, in every sense of the word, built different

[@TJackSurvival]

The irony is that they probably built this just to mess with him and he still smokes it

[@nooneremote7451]

No disrespect. But Mat is different because he puts in insane amount of work into it. The amount of mental fortitude and the consistent hardwork he puts in during training clearly reflects in the games.

[@whateverittakes9000]

@@TJackSurvival that is true, matt's build is more heavy. So seeing him smoking everyone in this endurance and stamina test, respect to matt.

[@ThatAncestor]

Elephant Man would argue that.

[@JoseGonzalez-yb7om]

Nope, Josh bridges, navy seal, matt is normal.

[@LukeMackie]

I watched this whole event live, this event, with that twist is the ULTIMATE test of both physical and mental fitness in my opinion. What an effort.

[@J4KET]

They got so pumped to finish and gave it their all and then had to turn around and do it again. That is very mentally tough. Proud of them!

[@sarahshaygani7803]

Exactly, just wow!!

[@drclyde5315]

When he said "run it in reverse" I thought they were gonna back pedal the whole thing

Man, watching Mat sprint at the "the end" thinking he won, that's brutal. I mighta swung at Dave tbh. Fucking Dave

[@vishalpihal8964]

I've never seen before this kind of race. Such a beautiful race and all players who participated are winners 🏆🥇

[@connoro2377]

Crazy just shows the mental strength these athletes have got ! WIM HOF would be proud !

[@rodster811]

The documentaries make this sport more entertaining than watching in length.

[@helloVorld1212]

running that 5k trail in 26 min is very impressive. 26 min with that much muscle mass is elite level

[@СаратовЛеша]

спасибо, что написали сколько они бежали и в какое время должны были успеть. Без перевода непонятно

[@alisam4140]

Yes, 26min for 5k impressive indeed, especially with that terrain

[@girtond]

I live in CA and “run” trails just like these. It is hard to describe how punishing a 50% gradient is on your run. a 3 mile hill run at these gradient s is way harder than say a half marathon. I run both regularly and find the the flattish half along the coast way easier than the 3 mile hill run. I slow to a walk every time.

[@TchallaKilmonger]

That's good work, I find some trails like this here in Michigan

[@schroedman117]

Matt Fraser is the Lance Armstrong of crossfit, he's insane

[@kudamangwe3219]

Not the best comparison actually 😅 but i understand what you're saying.

[@ol5868]

6miles is 9.6km if anyone was wondering!

[@enduraman1]

They need a camera crew on the ground running with them. This POV perspective is better than drone shot after drone shot.

Thanks for the feedback Brian. BTW, a new season of coverage is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIilY52NeKZ6edk

[@hakimeljaziri1994]

The middle finger Fraser gave Dave at 08:55 😂

[@Zach-rh8oh]

Not sure if this will ever be seen by the editors but the fast forward animation/sound is a little unsettling. Just make the time clock larger or something, I'm sure the viewers can figure it out. Love CrossFit! Love the content! I hope to see this sport blow up like never before when we can put covid behind us!

[@peachiepeachie]

So it really only screws with the leaders...that sucks

[@vanessachen3645]

Wish they'd do this again!

[@supremeaction9026]

Manbuns and mullets, crossfit has really adopted the eccentric.

[@milancollin1819]

I watched this race over and over again. This is such a lecture too many people. When you think you are done you are only half way.

[@Ostlund_85]

Would’ve have been a bigger twist if Dave just “one more lap” Then it would be a more surprise for all athletes.

[@Recoveryplus]

I wonder how David Goggins would do in this race

[@dtru31]

He’d crush it

[@towelietowel4513]

David isn’t the fastest but he runs the longest

[@muricantv9834]

Itd be a nice stretch out for him so he can do a real race

[@TchallaKilmonger]

Goggins would laugh the more it hurts

[@tenzinlee6393]

Did this count as one event or two? I would think they should get points for going forward and points for going backward.

[@deshdeepak4494]

Very nice 👌 👍 👏 😊🎉

wtf why they don't tell them the rules and must learn it in move???

[@joshuaattractsmoney]

That climb is vicious

[@ReluctorWoW]

i wonder if they were pissed when they were told to keep going, thinking theyre about to be done. use all your energy to push to the end to be told to do it again. great loop

[@rsvp89]

I notice ,the finalist are always the same winners.

[@thinkforyourself2109]

It would have been more enjoyable to watch if the men and women competed at different times. I found my attention was split the way it was done here. I wanted to follow both races equally. Also, what's with the silly hashtags?

The announcer continues to repeat himself "It's a 3-mile loop... It's a 3-mile loop... It's a 3-mile loop." Okay, already we know it's a 3-mile loop - stop telling us the same thing over and over.

In Nepal every year there will be British Army selection for Gurkhas. There will be final test 3Ml up hill including ladders. The record is for 3ml is 30 min 17 sec. The fun fact is he completed 3ML within 30min 17 sec with 25kg carrying on his back which we call DOKO CARRY

Mental fortitude is what separates super athletes from regular joes. They just conquer that inner bitch.

[@ol5868]

not quite 10km it was 9.6

[@aaronspeight4659]

Spoken like an absolute Moron. All of these guys are obese on the BMI. Their level of cardio is INSANE for them to move at that weight, over a 10k run at that pace.

[@alexdyter8237]

@@aaronspeight4659 running a 10k like that is not very impressive even with there body weight if you put those times against top mountain runners they wouldn't even be mid pack what the point of the event if they are so slow compared to them fair enough if they are sort of close to weightlifter but compared to professional mountain athletes they not even close plus there form is terrible

[@beefjake]

Would have been a huge advantage. Matt and that 2nd guy suffered most. They were sprinting to the end and all of a sudden, no halfway. Others may not have known but they’d have to be stupid not to notice that those who are coming back at them are still competing.

[@countrymaninthecity]

telling them they have to go do the course in reverse is just insult to injury. Haven't they suffered enough?

[@gannonw]

This is a relatively flat course by mountain running standards but certainly a good performance especially since cardio isn't in their regular regime.

[@devinstucky6948]

Cardio isn't in their regimen?? They run, swim, bike, row and run some more. Stupidly good at it too. They're cardio machines.

[@gannonw]

@@devinstucky6948 Well VO2 maxes in XF athletes rarely exceed 60 ml/kg/min (of those I've measured who competed in regionals with some moving on) which is nowhere near HS or college endurance athletes. Their cardio is far more relevant to interval resistance training modalities vs the 5k/10k they ran here.

[@devinstucky6948]

@@gannonw You sound way more educated than me on this so I won't argue any of that but look at what you're comparing. Trail runs they know the exact distance and run the race accordingly. These guys didn't. They had 4 brutal events previously (hip flexors already feeling like hell), the runners showed up fresh. Runners train for one event, xf trains for anything, including brute strength. I think people would be surprised how good at cardio top level xf athletes are if they were to compete at a trail run. One event. All the same factors as runners.

[@seafoxhunter8508]

🤣🤣🤣🤣...if you don't know don't comment

They are definetely not made for running. Strong athletes indeed, but running or other endurance activities are not in their cords. Too much weight to bring around.
