Candace finishing a push jerk at the 2008 CrossFit Games
The first day of the September CFO Throwdown is done!
Before we get to the results, a few rule clarifications:
- Each CFOT competitor has one chance, and only one chance, to do the WOD (multiple attempts at a single WOD will not be allowed).
- Each CFOT competitor must complete the three national-site WODs within the 4-day cycle of those same WODs (three days of workouts plus the rest day).
- Each CFOT competitor must do the WOD at the CFO box.
Onto today's results...
The results of today's WOD, Push Jerk 3-3-3-3-3 reps, were based on each competitors single highest three-rep set.
The women's field can be summed up in one word: thin! There are only to CFO women taking part in our September throwdown. I salute all of you women out there working your weaknesses with some focused training, but sheesh, only two women. If there are any women out there on the fence, just do it! You won't regret it. The worst that will happen is that you'll get lots of great workouts in over the next couple of weeks.
At any rate, it will be fun to watch Vanessa and Candace go through the workouts over the next four cycles.

On the men's side, one of our lightest competitors took top honors.
Daniel heaved an impressive 245.5# overhead for all three reps in full lockout; it was a thing of beauty. He ended up edging out MJJ by a half pound to take top honors. Manwell put in a nice showing as well, finishing in third place at 225#.
"Big C" has yet to lift, though, and has until Friday to make up this WOD, so the results are somewhat preliminary. All that being said, below are the results for today's WOD.
Top 3 Men:

Thanks for including me in the throwdown! My presence may not be that strong, but you know I wouldn't miss a chance to embarrass myself - Sierra
Only two females competing in the Throwdown? WTF? And staying on topic, Nabil, where are you?
