The swim was not the concern for many, although Latin American athlete Orlando Trejo withdrew during the swim. After the swim, there was an 8km bike followed by an 11km run over Microwave Mountain within the Camp Pendleton grounds.

For a large portion of the bike section, the terrain was soft sand. Athletes basically were running alongside their bike. After the bike, though, Microwave Mountain and 11km of very difficult terrain stood in front of the athletes.

Many struggled to maintain a jog throughout and had to walk at times. Chris Spealler, who dominated the long events at The Ranch, cramped badly and almost had to withdraw from the competition. This is the year that had what is probably the most boring event in the history of the CrossFit Games. A half marathon row, or 21, meters. The only twist was that there were actually two scored events during this. First, athletes were scored for their time at the 2,meter mark and then a second scored event when athletes completed the entire distance.

There was limited live streaming coverage and fans watching around the world were left watching an 8-bit screen of boats going across the screen. In the end, Jason Khalipa destroyed the field with a time for the 2,meter checkpoint and a time of for the full half marathon.

The Triple 3 was the long event this year. As we saw at Regionals this year, the 3,meter row tempts athletes to get a quick lead, but the event is won or lost on the run. At the StubHub Center, running under the sun in the heat would make or break the athletes. Froning had to walk a portion of the event and ended up taking 37th, his worst finish at the Games ever.

In , there were two long event waiting for the athletes. The long-awaited paddleboard made an appearance in the opening event. The 2-mile paddeboard sandwiched between two meter swims kicked off the CrossFit Games. But things would definitely change on Friday. For the individual athletes, Murph was in the early afternoon — the hottest part of the day. With a pound weight vest and doing Murph unpartitioned in a competition combined for numerous athletes struggling.

Kara Webb and Annie Thorisdottir suffered heat exhaustion. An "athlete's athlete". She very eloquently described the stress of competition, and evaluating the net impact of the gamut of emotions an athlete confronts. Different people handle the same situations with unique outlooks. I like, and respect, hers. CrossFit cool new trend in sports.
