The Fittest On Earth Netflix

So if you were like me and held out all this time, now you can watch The Fittest on Earth a decade of fitness.

Netflix has this amazing review of the 2016 games for free.... Enjoy

The LA Times says "Fittest on Earth” carefully tracks the events of the 2016 CrossFit Games, following several athletes along their journey, from rookies to returning champs.While at first it seems like an infomercial for CrossFit, the movie focuses more on the athletes when the games get going."

The Crossfit Games Event 2

This week The Dave Castro introduced event number two for The Crossfit Games, he panned down from the white board and it showed a bike. So Far the theme of these Crosfit Games are triathlon inspired, with the first two events being Running, Swimming and Biking.

We knew that there would be a biking event in this years addition of The Crossfit Games as they introduced their over priced 3 speed bike this year. I find it kind funny they didn't have that bike in the video, maybe Castro couldn't afford it...

The bike in the video in a Trek hardtail bike, perfect for all the trails around Madison. I'm excited for the biking event, who remembers the last time there was mountain biking? Back in 2012 there was an event where the athletes were biking in the mountains of Camp Pendleton, in the sand and rough trails, it was awesome, they were so out of there prefect elements. I see the 2012 as the last true Crossfit games, there were unpredictable, with throwing a ball, a obstacle course, biking in these terrible conditions. This should be a good one!!

BTW the highest ranking Man and Women that was at the 2012 Games in the bike event was Rob Forte and Annie Thorisdottir.

The Crossfit Games Run Swim Run Winner

The Crossfit Games are fast approaching and the only things we know is that it will be hot, it will be in Madison and there's a Run Swim Run Event.

Last Year at the 2016 Crossfit Games we saw running and swimming but not together, if you look at Event # 1 which was the trail run the top 3 men were:
1. Matthew Fraser
2. Josh Bridges
3. Brent Fikowski

The Top 3 Women were:
1. Sam Briggs
2. Kristin Holte
3. Kristi Eramo

Event # 4 was the Open Water swim:
The Top 3 men were:
1. Jonne Koski
2. Khan Porter
3. Brent Fikowski

The Top 3 Women were:
1. Tia-Clair Toomey
2. Kristi Eramo
3. Tennil Reed

In looking at these results you'd say that Brent Fikowski and Kristi Eramo would be your top picks to win. For the men I truly think it will be a battle between Matt Fraser and Brent Fikowski the whole race with Brent winning out. When I look over to the women I see Sam Briggs written all over this event.

As Sleepers I like Josh Bridges and Anna Tunnacliffe.

I can't wait, follow me on Instagram for live updates from the games ( the_box_after_dark )

The Reebok Speed TR 2.0 Review

Can anyone say Casey Neistat...... Crossfit HQ puts out this video promoting the Reebok Speed TR 2.0 and it looks like it was produced by Casey Neistat himself, Heber even sounds alittle like Casey. You have to give Crossfit HQ props from building their media team from the ground up from it first videos to the empire it has become today.

Heber says this review was not paid for by Reebok, that opens a whole other can of worms... It's the Reebok Crossfit games, athletes can only wear Reeboks, everywhere you look it's Crossfit and Reebok, Reebok and Crossfit.... Anyways thats for another post.

I have tried the original speed TR's and look forward to the 2.0's as well.
