Hey everybody it’s not too late to join in the CrossFit Games Open! We had our first validation workout last night and will have another tomorrow at 12:30pm. It’s a heap of fun and all those that were on the fence about doing the Open that jumped in last night had a blast! Sign up today, jump in tomorrow and don’t look back. You’ll be so glad you did!

Olympic WL Total

Congratulations to Tracy (aka Ultra), on her amazing finish at this weekend's 60km off-road Hutt Valley Ultramarathon! Bloody proud of you mate :)

“Hi Alex & Lisa, Wanted to flick a quick email and let you know that all went well on Saturday at my 60km off-road ultra run in the Hutt Valley. I had set a goal of finishing in 6 hours but managed to get across the finish line in 5:46 which was fantastic! Even managed to pick up the trophy for first woman home. Placed 5th overall which was also great – competing against the guys is always hard. It was very different for me to be off the tarseal but survived with a rather nice blister and sore feet.

Looking forward to the WOD on tuesday night although I may be a little slow.”

Olympic Weightlifting Total
Best of three attempts:

  • Snatch
  • Clean & Jerk

There are two main types of lifting technique: the snatch and the clean and jerk. In both categories, competitors are given three attempts to complete a lift.

Once lifters reach the platform, they have one minute to attempt the lift. If they are successful, their next attempt must be at least 1kg heavier.

The heaviest successful lift in each category contributes towards the total score, so if an athlete lifts 90kg in the snatch and 130kg in the clean and jerk, their overall score is 220kg.
