SoCal Sectionals Day 1

CFV sent four of our best athletes to compete in some brutal events at Drake Stadium on the UCLA campus to try to become one of the top 20 men and women to move on to regional qualifiers for the twenty oh-ten CrossFit Games.  All four are absolute inspirations: humble, strong, dedicated, focused, relentless, and beastly.  I have a rule for healthy eating called the "Don't eat what that guy eats" rule.  I have a new rule with these four: "Do what they do."

Drake Stadium (UCLA), from the bleachers

Front squat 400#, run a 5.13 mile, row sub 8 2k, clean 385#.  Our heroes today were Colin, Craig, Jaala, and Matt.  Monster, Unbelievable, Unstoppable, Power House. 

Event #1
For Time:
100m Run
Pick up 45# (25#) plate and run up 83 stadium steps (the super horribly design stadium 2.5" high x 8.73" wide bizarre step) and then perform 70 unbroken squats while holding some bizarre 45# object. 
Then run down 83 steps.
35 Push press (45#/ 33#)
Run up 83 steps
15 Thrusters (135#/ 95#) (how much weight?) (Science) (Silence)
Back down 83 steps
35 Burpees (CrossFit is stupid at this point)
Back up
35 Wall Balls (20#/10 and 14#/10)
Back down
70 Double Unders
100m run

Rude. 

Event #2
For lowest working time (A+B):

A: 4RFT
9 Squat Cleans (135#)*
6 Hand Stand Push Ups

*Run 50m to HSPU station, call time after last HSPU in 4th round

Then,

Exactly 20 minutes after the start of Event #2 Part A, perform:

B: As Quickly As Possible
30 Hang Squat Snatches at 75# (Hang = below knees)
30 Chest to Bar Pull Ups
Row 750m

Fuck off, these events are retarded.  Literally.
