This is the 16th installment of the Complete 2009 CrossFit Games videos, and the fifth part of the women’s competition. Here is complete coverage of the women’s couplet event.
After the row/sledge event, 10 more women were eliminated. The 52 remaining competitors had one last chance to become one of the “Sweet 16” to compete on Sunday. The couplet was an extraordinary test:
3 rounds for time of:
30 wall balls (14-lb. med ball to a 10.5᾿ target)
30 squat snatches (45 lb., movement initiates with barbell below the knees)
20-minute time limit.
The top time of the day came from Carey Kepler (11:01), who was a full minute ahead of second place Sarah Dunsmore (12:02) and nearly three minutes ahead of third place Kristan Clever (13:45). Fifteen women were unable to complete the workout before the 20-minute cap timed out.
There are also some end-of-the-day briefings and interviews with: Tamara Holmes, Jocelyn Forest, Nicole Gordon, Breanne Feudale, Michele Vieux, Crystal McReynolds, Josh Wagner, Tanya Wagner, and Carey Kepler.
