This weekend was the Civilian Military Combine crossfit competition and it was sick!
This race structure has been carefully created, refined and reviewed by the top strength and conditioning coaches from the Cross Fit community, United States Armed Forces and USA Triathlon Organization Race Directors.
There's the Warm Up area at the beginning, then the PIT area consists of 3 basic movements and it is designed to be the great equalizer by leveling the playing field between power athletes and endurance runners. The CMC PIT is in an AMRRAP format where each competitor is encouraged to complete as many rounds & repetitions as possible" (AMRRAP) for a 7 minute time period which consisted of:
7 - Push press (75lb Males/ 45lb Females)
7 - American Kettlebell Swings (44lb Males/26 lb Females)
7 - Jump over Burpee Box Jumps (20 Inch Box- Universal
for Male & Females) Courtesy from CMC site.
Next comes the mountain run with military obstacles that included running up and down the stairs with a sand bag, Climbing over walls and through barrels to name a few.
It was a great event and the fact that it was held on the Intrepid Pier made it extra special.
This event is definitely on my list! A Huge SHOUT OUT to the participants and CMC for making this happen.
