Zachfit 2008 and Beyond

     It took her 5 minutes to get in the car this am. My neighbors chances did not look good right off the bat. She tweaked her back on the last deadlift yesterday afternoon and looked like the barely walking definition of tight. After some loosening and stretching she was able to put up 70# on the Turkish Getup. I have no idea how she did it. I met up with her after my BIKE/RUN and we worked on the rower, OHS and burpees. She ended up throwing in the towel unfortunately, the OHS and burpees were a no go. Really too bad considering she was 6th place at that point. It was for the best though, no need to risk further injury.

     The Beast was pretty bush league when it comes to competitions. Timing chips didn’t work (resulting in self timing on the honor system!!), no refreshments for the competitors, horrible judging (didn’t know what a box jump or deadlift was), a hefty entry fee for competitors and spectators (130/35$), poor WOD programming (mostly heavy lifts), and a ranking system that was full of errors. It is no easy feat to organize such a huge event but timing, judging and scoring are essentials. I hope this affiliate won’t be getting it again next year, for my neighbors sake.
