“Balls To The Wall”

This right here is one of my favorite moments in CrossFit Games history. I’m not sure how many other people noticed this during the live stream online almost 2 summers ago, but I’m fortunate to be one of them who witnessed it.

2010 CrossFit Games – Men’s Event 2 “Hell-In” – Final Heat

Think a Helen (for time, 3 rounds of a 400m run, 21 kb swings, and 12 pull-ups) on steroids. Here’s the official breakdown:

Run 1200 meters
63 Kettlebell swings (53#/35#)
36 Pull-ups
Run 800 meters
42 Kettlebell swings (53#/35#)
24 Pull-ups
Run 400 meters
21 Kettlebell swings (53#/35#)
12 Pull-ups

Okay, so I was just on my computer, doing some work with the Games stream on the side of my screen playing. I stopped working for a bit and watched some of this event. Low and behold, the greatest piece of CrossFit commentary occurred. If my YouTube embed starts at the beginning, fast forward to 12:27 for the goodies:

For you lazy fucks who want the fast forwarding done for you, use this link. Jerks 😛

Sorry…but I have to use this pic again:

Seriously, how awesome was that? First of all, the female commentary said the whole “balls to the wall” thing is such a matter-of-a-fact kind of way. Then the guy apologizes for her “language”? LOL!

I’m so grateful for sites like YouTube that allow us to preserve such sacred moments haha. When I watched the original stream, I was dumbfounded. I couldn’t believe what I heard. And I was also afraid I wouldn’t be able to watch it again because it was a live stream.

Good times 🙂 I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
