060 Semifinals Breakdown

These Events are a lot more “game-y” and entertaining than Quarterfinals. 

The tradeoff is that they are more exciting to watch but there will also be less separation, making it partly a test of fitness and partly a spectator sport. 

Event 1

5 Rounds for Time
800m Run
10 Clean and Jerks @185/125

Time Cap: 30 Minutes

4k Run = 15+ Minutes
50 C+J = 3+ Minutes

This is a running event. 

Assault Runner will favor larger athletes. 

Posterior chain hot from this. 

This will be about running paces.  

Event 2

 5 Rounds for Time
100 DU
20 T2B
10 Front Squats @225/155

Time Cap: 18 Minutes

500 DU = 5+ Minutes
100 T2B = 5+ Minutes
50 Front Squats = 1:40-2+ Minutes

Very similar to Open 19.2 and 16.2 only twice as many DU in sets twice as big. 

 Going to feel the grip and midline on this one. 

 We’re also going to see sets that are too big. Rich went down to 5s on 19.2 and won. 

Rich’s Times
30s for 50 DU
1 Minute for 20 T2B - 10/5/5/5 for 25

Event 3

7 Rounds for Time
10 Cal Echo
1 LLRC
10 BJO to 24/30”
1 LLRC

Time Cap: 16 Minutes

14 LLRC
70 Cal Echo
70 BJO

14 LLRC at 4/minute = 3.5 Minutes
70 Cal Echo at 20 cals/minute = 3.5 Minutes
70 BJO at 20 reps/minute = 3.5 Minutes

Set sizes are less dense, rate will be somewhat high here. 

Cap is pretty high to make sure that people who struggle with LLRC still have a similar work requirement. 

This will be a close race, separation is spread pretty evenly between all 3 movements. 

No distinct limiter here. 

A bit of a game seeing how fast other guys do the echo. 

 
Event 4

For Time
400m Row
100’ HSW
600m Row
125’ HSW
800m Row
75’ HSW

Time Cap: 13 Minutes

2013 Regionals
6:30 2k 

1.8k Row = 5:50
200’ HSW = 2 Minutes

Again high time caps ensure everyone has the same work requirement. 

I think we’ll see more separation on the row than on the HSW. 

Event 5 

For Time
10 Squat Snatches @185
8 Squat Snatches @205
6 Squat Snatches @225
4 Squat Snatches @245
2 Squat Snatches @265

Had them load their own bars in 2016. 

Fraser's Split Times from 2016
1:00 = 1 rep every 5s @185
2:30 = 1 rep every 7s @205
4:00 = 1 rep every 9-10s @225
5:05 = 1 rep every 12-13s @245
6:05 = 1 rep every 15s @265

Event 6

For Time
30/22 Cal Echo
15 Muscle Ups
75’ DB Walking Lunge @70/100#/hand

Time Cap: 6 Minutes

Racing at high paces on stationary bikes is dumb.
