- [Woman] Johnny, how are you feeling?
(background chatter)
(rock music)
- It's 5:30 AM in the morning
and I'm meeting Pauline,
and we're gonna go pick up everyone else
and head up to West Palm Beach.
It's about an hour and a half away,
which is where the competition's at.
(speaking foreign language)
- Okay, we're having a discussion with s'mores.
So do you know what a s'more is?
- No, I don't.
- [Man] Have you?
- [Woman Passenger] I don't, I've never had one.
- [Man] Do you know what it is?
- Is it food?
- [Man] It is food, it's alright.
(laughs)
- She doesn't know what it mean-
- It involves a marshmallow.
- [Man] It does, yeah, that's one of the three ingredients.
- And chocolate.
- [Man] Yeah.
You roast the marshmallow and then you like,
so it gets all gooey and then you like smoosh it
between the chocolate and the graham cracker.
- I'm getting really hungry right now.
(laughs)
- [Man] You're going to get the American experience.
- Yay!
- [Man] That's a rat car race.
- There you go.
(rock music)
- [Pauline] Where are we?
Hustle Hard Crossfit, yeah.
- So we just did the workout briefing.
How you feeling, Pauline?
- I'm feeling great! (laughs)
I'm hungry and I need to pee.
(laughs)
- Pauline started first.
Are you ready?
- So not ready. (laughs)
- Born ready.
- They start in 30 minutes and then we start.
- [Pauline] Yay! - After them an hour later.
So we've got our set up over here.
And they've got their super tailgating setup over there.
- So the way this competition worked,
it was an hour long competition.
So the moment the first workout starts
to when we're done with the last one,
it's all done within an hour.
So no matter how crappy it is,
it will be over within an hour.
Which is a nice thing about this.
Also there's no waiting around and stuff like that.
[Man] You guys ready?
- Born ready.
- Yeah, ready.
- [Man] Are you ready?
- Yay!
- First workout, it was a one mile run.
(rock music)
The catch with is was that you and your partner,
we were both strapped together by a rope,
so we had to run the mile together.
(cheering)
The ladies had a pretty decisive lead.
Nice.
(rock music)
Hey.
You're done with this and then we rest
until the clock hits 15 minutes.
Fifteen minutes, WOD 2 starts.
WOD 2 was a 2 rep thruster.
(rock music)
Yeah.
(rock music)
All right, our heat's about to start.
We'll see you in an hour.
Ready?
Yeah I'll take that as ready.
(rock music)
- [Spectator] Let's go, let's go, let's go,
let's go, let's go.
(cheering)
- [Pauline] You're good, you're good, you're good.
Nice, guys!
Hustle!
Woo!
You got this!
Real nice, up.
Up up, woo!
- Clock hits 30 minutes, by this point,
feeling pretty tired.
And now these are pretty traditional cross fit WODs.
This is a 10 minute AMREP.
Part one was a 70 pull up buy in.
So together we had to do 70 pull ups in total.
While one person is doing the pull ups,
the other person is holding a barbell
in a dead lift position.
This really taxes your grip.
After doing 70 pull ups, then it's as many rounds
of DT as possible.
It is 12 dead lifts, I'm gonna start abbreviating.
It is 9 hang power cleans
and then it is 6 shoulder to overhead.
(background chatter)
- [Pauline] Seven.
Six.
Five.
- 45 minute mark, WOD four actually has two parts,
at two scores.
Part A, one person rowing
So we're kinda again
same thing here
tagging off
so when one person's rowing
the other person's running through this circuit
of rounds
22 single unders
15 jobless squats
with a 15 pound kettlebell
9 kettlebell snatches
This one in practice had me the most concerned.
I had to clean and jerk it.
3 pound arm snatch
after all of this
very fatiigued
felt a little sketchy
So it kinda be fair that they wouldn't allow
clean and jerks
but I just did it one rep at a time.
Focus on good form
not to mess up my shoulder
and yeah, that was fine.
(rock music)
- [Pauline] How are you feeling?
- Great!
- [Pauline] Ahh, yes!
But he's dying
he's dying
he' s dying
(rock music)
- So we finished our heat.
It was pretty shitty.
Especially the last workout
but I don't think we came in last.
Michael?
- Hello.
- [Man] How was it?
- It was
difficult.
It was hard.
[Man] How are you guys doing Maureen ?
- It was great
- How do you feel like you did?
I think we did great.
We did awesome. - I think you did too.
- Yeah.
- [Man] We ended up coming in third place.
So, our goal was to podium and we podium-ed.
- [Announcer] And first place women's team
was French Fry
(cheering)
- All right, next up is the Palm Beach Half Marathon
my first half marathon.
So the thing I love about competitions
and goals
and external events
or something you are working towards
is this external motivator.
So it works really well for me.
This competition,
especially it being a team competition
so I've got somebody else depending on me
has worked really well in cleaning up
my eating this week.
My main goal is no sugar
outside of that there's the eating
Paleo-ish or just "clean" eating
and it's worked really well.
I've been really on it
and the main this is
the more clean foods you eat
then the less hungry you get
so my calorie count has gone way down.
