Intervals Recap
The first women’s heat featured two distinct techniques in the field for the box jump overs. Some athletes shuttled to the other side of the box while others curtsy stepped down. Athletes aimed to apply the least amount of stress to their legs so the rower didn’t feel too punishing.
Wells was the first athlete through the rowers to the burpees and held a one-rep lead over Neal at the two-minute mark. Neal overtook the lead by the second round on the rowers, but they reached the last round of burpees in synch. Neal finished three seconds faster to win the first half of the heat before resting to the six-minute mark.
After a long pause due to a scoring error from an athlete accidentally tripping the timer, athletes were inadvertently allotted approximately 20 seconds of additional rest. Baker used that to her advantage to take the early lead, but Neal reclaimed it by the first box jumps.
Baker churned through the box jumps to take the lead again by the burpees and extended it by a pair of pulls on the rower. Neal’s rows did not appear as forceful as Baker’s, but they stayed within a rep of each other in the box jumps. Baker’s efficiency during box jump transitions allowed her to cross the line four seconds before Neal.

Annie Thorisdottir entered the event in 12th place overall and led the second heat by three reps by the box jumps. She employed a technique of jumping to the box and landing on one foot, so her transitions were more efficient.
Emma Cary was the closest competitor to Thorisdottir by the burpees. Still, the former two-time Fittest Woman on Earth® maintained fast transitions to finish the first round in sub-four minutes.
Fuliano and Tall joined Thorisdottir to set the pace down the back half of the course. Cary joined the mix with a heightened sense of urgency.
Cary utilized a squat atop the box to move through her jump overs, while Thorisdottir stood taller while stepping down. There were pros and cons to both, as the squats allow for a faster step off the box but are more taxing on the legs.
Cary moved alone to the rowers and held a five-rep lead in the final set of box jumps. Cary entered the event in 16th place overall and needed a strong performance to remain on the right side of the cut line at the end of the day. She finished in sub-four minutes to win the heat.

Lawson commanded the center lane on the competition floor in the final heat for the women as the overall leader. The majority of the heat utilized the low-squat-atop-the-box technique through the opening section.
The leader was the first through the rowers, with Miga?a but a single rep behind. Lawson extended the lead to two reps over Loewen as Miga?a fell off the lead pace.
Thoridottir’s first interval time of 3:58 was the mark to beat. Lawson cleared it by five seconds. Miga?a recouped some time to finish a second behind Thorisdottir’s pace.
Lawson continued to set the pace in the back half of the heat. By the box jumps, she held a five-rep lead over Loewen. Miga?a, Davidsdottir, and Raptis turned on the jets to not fall too far off Lawson’s pace.
The red and white attire of the leader gave away no time transitioning between sections. By 3:17, she was at her final 21 box jumps. She converted not only the two fastest interval times, but tacked on another 100 points to her overall total.

Saturday Continues
The final workout for day three of Individual competition is titled “Intervals.” It features two 21-15-9 rep scheme workouts comprised of rowing and box jump overs with six minutes of rest in between. It will be a barn-burner with a 12-minute time cap to close out the penultimate day of competition.
