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.

[@skatex95]

Broooo they did them so dirty after that first 3 miles looooool

[@drclyde5315]

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

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@aaronpannell6401]

crossfit 2024 twist.

[@99HockeyDad99]

Same here !!!

[@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.

[@mattmazaka]

They put a helicopter sound effect over the drone footage lol

[@Prince_ofwolves]

🤣🤧

[@theparadisesnare]

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

[@jacobtruax9908]

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!!

[@sudeepathanapathy314]

As a person who goes on mountain hiking myself can understand the hardship of this event. Huge respect for all these athletes

[@rsvp89]

Kathrine is so confident! I love how she seems so confident & unbothered.

[@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.

[@TamasD38]

All my respect for these athletes!

[@TheSnookyputz]

To bad they didn’t cover the women as much. All of a sudden Katrin is winning!

[@helloVorld1212]

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

[@user-gn9kq8fg3v]

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

[@vishalpihal8964]

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

[@CrossFitGamesTV]

Thanks for watching, Vishal! If you liked the Ranch Loop, check out Atalanta from the 2020 CrossFit Games. kzbin.info/www/bejne/roXPl4GmgM6mf6M We think you might like it!

[@uniteduniversegalaxyacademy]

Wow! if you're done and finish first, you still have to do another CrossFit round... wtf?

[@vanessachen3645]

Wish they'd do this again!

[@scrotiemcboogerballs4967]

Are all those hashtags necessary?

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

[@souleymanebouchareb4805]

run with me😋

[@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

[@joshuaattractsmoney]

That climb is vicious

[@user-br5qq6rb7b]

Matt is on another level WOW 👌

[@cooking.uzbekistan]

[@enduraman1]

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

[@CrossFitGamesTV]

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

[@ol5868]

6miles is 9.6km if anyone was wondering!

Very nice 👌 👍 👏 😊🎉

[@alansalinas6282]

Buen evento el más duro

[@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.

[@35mayocynthia]

I'm only going to say this because I'm out of shape but there is no way I am going to run that many miles.

[@Bluebyxor]

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

[@spiritualjones6091]

I’d would Fluckzin LOVE TO DO THIS!!! Manifestation on the way lol

[@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!

[@Keno_psia]

I run 9km on a flat ground in 52min icannot imagine myself doing it on a hill hoooooooly mooooly it will take 2 hours 😅hearts of a dragon they have right there. Much respect 🐉

Cool

[@michaelharris454]

Hey, just wanted to say that you are loved more than you could ever imagine, no matter what is going on in your life. Life can be incredibly hard, but we are blessed so much by our Lord and savior. The people in your life, the phone or computer you’re reading this on, and the simple act of breathing are all huge blessings. Don’t focus on the negatives, or what has or could go wrong. Focus on Jesus and the many blessings He gives us every day. Smile and take a breath. God’s got it figured out already, and is taking care of you. He has never let you down, and won’t start now. He’s coming back. Are you ready? God bless. God is so beyond amazing.

love their road shoes to run trails and to not carry any water with electrolytes :)

God , they did't sip a water in the half of distance !

[@michaelzeng1967]

This is the Pro hunter test in hunter x hunter irl.

[@enduraman1]

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.

[@WilltoImprove]

Insane ...what a mind fu**

[@miriverafication]

Open carrying at the CrossFit games. Even if it is his ranch, that should tell you everything you need to know about Castro. 😂

[@pjtue]

Watching this is exhausting

[@aaronpannell6401]

that was more of a "stepped back kick in the nuts" more so than a twist.

Good dam reverse

[@jimmymartinez5108]

Running in reverse for me would be an advantage, I could start to check my mental notes of the first half and start to hit check points and know when to push close the the finish BUT! I would’ve blown my wad in the first half and been too dead 😂😂😂

[@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?

[@ssc1226]

#hashtag

[@michaeldevaney5728]

But they are walking a lot of it supposed to be a run not a walk

[@ptf55]

[@bluerazzberry99]

muted announcers...

[@MASTERCEF]

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.

[@MrRai-zz3lh]

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

[@zurnu74]

Can cold weather be an advantage for the body's resistance compared to climates with high temperatures?

[@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.

She's known Castro long enough to prolly speculate enough lol

[@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.
