Video: Final Affiliate Event
Teams take on an obstacle course from hell.
The fourth and final event for the Affiliate Cup ended with an obstacle course of serious proportion. Teams lined the main stadium facing wooden walls, ropes and sandbags that were assembled overnight by the team from Rogue and an army of volunteers.
There were only two heats in the final event as a result of cuts. Teams in the final heat were facing off in a last-ditch effort to claim a spot on the podium.
For time, to be completed as a team:
10 rope climbs
6 sandbag throws over a barrier (various weights)
Climb over the barrier
Carry sandbags 10 yards
30 muscle-ups
Carry sandbags 10 yards
100 wall-balls
Rope climb over a wall
First off the rope climb was CrossFit New England, with CrossFit Fort Vancouver and CrossFit Omaha hot on their heels. As bags flew over their respective walls it was difficult to determine who’d finish first. Muscle-ups were a breeze for these top teams, who then moved quickly to the wall-balls. Fort Vancouver and New England went rep for rep with the Dynamax medicine balls and were soon transitioning to the rope climb. Member after member of both teams overcame the wall, both teams in lockstep. It was a 10-yard sprint to the finish, with Fort Vancouver touching the opposing side of the stadium first, literally a split second ahead of New England.
This is a must-see sprint to the finish.
Heat 2 Teams: CrossFit Rockford, CrossFit Central, CrossFit Fort Bragg, CrossFit Invictus, CrossFit Albuquerque, CrossFit Omaha, CrossFit New England, and CrossFit Fort Vancouver.
