Events
The first three events for the second CrossFit Games took place on Saturday July 5, 2008 and the final event was held the following day. The Affiliate Cup was awarded to the affiliate with lowest combined time for its top two men and top two women.[2]
Workout A
Fran - Three rounds of thrusters (a front squat into push press) and pullups. Each round has a decreasing number of repetitions starting with 21 thrusters and 21 pullups then progressing to 15 repetitions of each for round two and nine repetitions for the final round. The weight for the thruster was 95lbs. for the men and 65lbs. for the women.
Workout B
Five rounds of five deadlifts and ten burpees. The weight for the deadlifts was 275lbs. for the men and 185lbs. for the women.
The Hill Run
A steep trail run approximately 750 meters in length.
Sunday's Final Event
Thirty squat clean and jerks. The weights used were 155lbs. for the men and 100lbs. for the women. The participant's starts were staggered so that the competitors would start with the time differentials of their previous days combined score. This was done so that spectators could determine who was the overall winner as they finished the event first.
