Watching the Open Live at Wodapalooza + Workout Strategy, Predictions & Barbell Giveaway
The crew recaps day one at Wodapalooza, including attending the CrossFit Open live announcement at Waterloo and reacting to the workout’s aggressive time cap, pacing, and how many athletes may not finish. They discuss men vs. women differences (weights, rep speed, bar bounce), debate singles vs. touch-and-go cleans, and break down James’s near-finish and dominant performance in another event featuring rowing, wall balls, and legless rope climbs, plus Ellie’s strong return and Ariel’s quick turnaround from the announcement to winning. They also talk strategy for competing head-to-head, effort management across a weekend, and announce subscriber-based giveaways (Rogue Ohio or Bella bar) and a meet-and-greet/help session for 26.3 at the Rain Stage.
