Run Swim: Individual Athletes Kickoff 2024 CrossFit Games on August 8

[@ramblr5900]

Makes sense why Castro ask all those Running Swimming questions in athlete interviews.

Well.. turns out run and swim are not the best thing to do right after each other. RIP Lazar.. 😢

If anyone is curious - it’s Marine Creek Lake (in Fort Worth, TX). 🤙🏼

[@danielbenavidezjr.4178]

That's a good size lake and there is a paved course all along the perimeter of the lake

[@reckleiesgaming6110]

This event turned out unfortunate i send my prayers and wishes to the family of the althete and everyone invloved.

[@writeradam]

Vellner just cursed in Canadian. This is the kind of first event that has troubled him, and I always root for him.

[@superluci58]

I love him too

[@alessiman]

If its a run swim expect Tia and Haley to be 1-2

[@sangilyun234]

just curisou, why do they tell us about events in advance since this year semi? isn't it supposed to be the unknown and unknowable?

[@LameUser]

They've done this in the past. Some events will be announced prior while others will be revealed only a few hours before doing them.

[@willgazlay5711]

Stop censoring Hiller and give him a media pass

[@pigmejov]

And a shirt.

Just add some biking and make it a triathlon event! Or will we see biking separately??

They won’t do biking at the games anymore

How many swim miles should be do

[@Amanda_K_001]

Swim with a Go Ruck

[@kairandbellinger1973]

YES THANK YOU CROSSFIT, - Swimming is a MUST event, and I feel the combine of swim/run is even better

[@MaryaniReis]

Oh no

[@kairandbellinger1973]

@@MaryaniReis Was that a friendly response? Not cool if it wasnt. Yes, as a 40 sports coach, event producer, and 20 year vet of outdoor event etc... - and a CF fan since 2009. Open water swimming is a must for a CF champion to be crowned Fittest on Earth. Yes open water swimming is a must for me and my CF friends who follow the sport. The event? And YES, I was standing and screaming at the TV when Jeff Adler started swimming of track and no one went over to stear him back. Or when Tia swam over the back of someone there wasnt any life guard near by. Im trained in lifeguard and saftey systems. My house hold is a mix of Ropes Course builders, Climbers, and professional Surfers - we could see that some one off in the set up. Lazar went under and no one knew, regardless of why he went under, that is a system failiure at the highest level.

[@AleZ66]

We knew...we knew! Love the interviews!

[@nickmallett7391]

So run 4 miles and swim how far…? I’m confused

[@superluci58]

4 miles

[@afefasfe]

How clean is that lake?

[@stevepasche]

Give Hiller a media pass!!!

[@lloydedwards968]

I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!

[@philg55]

My guess for split is 3mile run (5K) and 1 mile swim (1,600m).

[@Pepesilvia267]

Would be nice but the run would be 20 minutes and the swim could take 45 min for some swimmers. I’d love to see them all have to swim a mile because that would totally change the standings. I don’t think they’ve ever done that long of a swim before? Trying to recall early fronin days.

[@Craig_Alexander]

@@Pepesilvia267 I watched this wondering how long is the swim. Then realized OH this isnt 4 mile run this is “4 miles” knowing castro this is going to be the longest swim 3 mile run and a 1 mile swim makes sense

[@vl4581]

Starting to feel like the games again 🥲

Hopefully the lake they swim in doesn’t get the athletes sick like a couple of years ago

[@Myluxuryaddiction]

Nah they are just gonna let people drown this year. Shame on CrossFit.

[@mrmayster]

Reebok shoes?

[@kmun4UVA]

Hiller should cover the games

[@hillerfit]

🦇

[@Pepesilvia267]

Excited for this! A real run distance that will challenge them and gotta love a good swim distance. The ski swim was cool but not enough distance to wreck someone since they could makeup with a good erg. A poor swimmer can’t hide in a lake swim.

[@javierguevara4381]

Sad that a person that had trouble at the end of the swim died. The “poor swimmers can’t hide” works only if there is a solid strategy to keep athletes safe. They screwed up so badly and so close to shore that I doubt they will do a swim after a run ever again.

[@Rohanschariot]

Where’s the lifeguards

[@reckleiesgaming6110]

It's a public lake there weren't any

[@PilotScott-ey7lw]

@@reckleiesgaming6110andddd that’s why someone’s dead. They should have called IM to figure out his to run a swim…and why that’s the first event.

[@reckleiesgaming6110]

@@PilotScott-ey7lw I did more research and turns out there were 3 lifeguards on paddleboards

[@Myluxuryaddiction]

This didn’t age well.

[@PilotScott-ey7lw]

Hopefully a lesson has been learned. Maybe call Ironman to figure out why the swim should be first…or that lifeguards and lots of rescue kayaks are needed for water events. This stupid stuff is why I left CrossFit 6 years ago. Too much bravado, not enough brain cells.

[@burtonhaig1434]

How much is GoRuck paying to sponsor the Games? Cuz they should ask for some back after you announce a run workout with a guy wearing Reebok's.

[@andrewjudd9001]

Example of how out of touch there media team is

[@andrewjudd9001]

Crazy how I only knew to look for this because of TDC mentioning it… they have 1 M subscribers but get less views than Hiller does in 12 hours

[@sweetbizil]

Please make sure it is a true 4 mile run. There is no way the 5k last year was a true 5k.

[@craigherbert25]

It didn’t say a 4mile run. It said 4miles for time. I’d guess the swim is included in the 4miles. I’d also guess it’s going to be rounds rather than a straight run then swim.

[@Grown_M.A.N]

Why not just release every damn event my goodness. How is it a test of fitness if they know the damn events beforehand to test it! They shouldn’t know until the day before smh

[@kiyaah1912]

That was highly likely to happen. Swimming is not a problem in the heat 😉
