Sunday
Today’s workout is a tribute to the second CrossFit games held in 2008. They are all programmed as then and in the correct order. The only exception is the run, which was a hill run in Aromas of 800-1000m, it says 750meters if you look it up but according to reliable sources it was a little bit longer. I have changed that to a plain longer run instead, but it will mimic the overall times quite well.
After two days and four event Jason Khalipa and Caity Matter stood on top of the podium as champs. Jason did podium several more times until his last games in 2015. Caity started Rogue fitness with her husband and did not compete more after her win. They won glory, title of the fittest and 1500 dollar each. That year Jason won the entire games only working out 13:17 minutes, Caity had 19:10 minutes.
The 2008 games were special, that was the only year so far in the format of every second counts. The athletes total accumulated time during the events leading up to the last event determined the starting order. So, the one with the least total time in the first 3 events started the last event. Then the rest followed by order of their total time. That meant that the one that first finished the last event was that years Champion. Its fun to see it all now, google it, and look, it’s not what we are used to see nowadays.

*Every event is time caped at 10 min, that means that your score (time) is 10minutes + the remaining reps counting in seconds.
*Event 4 is time caped 10 min from the last athletes starting time
EX: The fastest total time in the first 3 events is 12:25 min That is now “Zero” the starting point. Next athlete has 12:55, so that person will start 30 sec after, and the rest will follow depending on their total times. So, the first person starts at min 45, the next on 45:30.
The first athlete to finish event 4 is the winner
