I’ve got another two hours in the air, and I’ve got some internet, so I’ve started to work through the Outlaw Open scoreboard and try to put some thoughts together. I am in love with the concept of multiple data points, and in the first 15 minutes or so, I’ve already found some nerd gems. I’m only going to deal with the women’s side today, and I’ll try to get to the men’s tomorrow. Before getting into the numbers (completely), I’d like to share a few highlights.

-Kristan Clever’s 4:09 on the Wheelbarrow/HSPU workout was well over a minute faster than the men’s fastest time. Kristan did the first set of 40 HSPU not only strict, but unbroken.

-Elisabeth Akinwale, who is considered a “big” athlete, came in 2nd on the agility test (to Ingrid Kantola who was an Olympic hopeful pole vaulter), and came in 2nd on the max effort pull-ups with an unbroken set of 49—only 4 reps behind 110# Natalie McLain.

-Speaking of Natalie, she won 4 of the 6 events in the mile repeats workout. Her slowest mile was 6:04, and she did 53 unbroken pull-ups. She also came in 9th on the 3 minute row test. This is not earth-shattering, unless you consider the fact that she is 5′ tall and 110#.

-Lindsey Valenzuela did not win the inaugural Outlaw Open because she out lifted everyone, it certainly didn’t hurt, but IMO it was not her lifting the earned her $10k. I believe she won because she came in 2nd place on both of the 150 point workouts. Elisabeth came in 4th & 7th on the 150 point workouts, that gave Lindsey an advantage of 35 points.

-As Dan said in his Top Ten Moments post, Rebecca Voigt is really good.

Now for nerd time…

My greatest fear when putting together this event was that it would fall into the category of too “strength biased”. The event started with a Weightlifting total, so we had to figure out a way to create some balance. I’ve always loved the concept of repeats and seeing how much they would taper off over multiple rounds (using miles as the test this time). We decided to give the exact same amount of value to the miles, that we’d given to the lifts. This was we would have a “fair” set of 6 data points that wouldn’t be biased in either direction. Here’s a few interesting things I’ve noticed after sitting with the numbers for a while…

-Rebecca Voigt scored the exact same amount of points on the lifts, that she did on the miles: 122/122.

-Natalie McLain finished 1st on all 3 runs, but was 21st on all 3 lifts. Lindsey Valenzuela finished first on all 3 lifts, but was 10th on all 3 runs.

  1. Spent a solid time on Google an this site trying to avoid this “dumbass nooB question”, but I have failed:

    “Maximal RPE” means……..?

    I am planning on just running FAS “fast as Shit” unless “RPE” means otherwise

    • So you were running a 3:30/mile pace…on a treadmill… You need to try out for the Olympics.

  3. you ran 800m in 1:43? is that probably a world record? oh no, the WR is 1:40. good job though!

    • …don’t feel too badly though. While falling short of the WORLD record, that 1:43 800M time does break the all-time and forever record for NCAA D1 men or women (indoor or outdoor). 😉

      • I don’t buy that for a second. Treadmills don’t typically have a speed setting fast enough to sprint, not to mention there isn’t a chance in hell you did back to back sub 1:50 800’s. You should be running track, so quit lifting and try out for the Olympics

        • Salty much Doug? On a serious note, Doug, what was your lifetime PR 800? Was it while running track at UNC? ( See how I threw that in there so people know you know your stuff?)

          • Something like 1:51 and change. It was after 18 months of only training for the 800 and the 1500. I looked like a cancer patient at 153 pounds. I did like the props tho

          • and we miss you over in Durham on Saturdays Brandon. Need to come up with a sat that works for all of us and a lifting session

    Did the first 800 with metronome @ 90 cadence – definitely lost some of that footwork speed – felt sluggish & last 200 m was going out of sync all over the place.

      • What Zach said – a thing that clips on your shorts (I actually carry mine in my hand otherwise I don’t want it to fall off).
        A bit of an elaborate video: ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQyijTm2rDw

        To me it’s similar to doing EMOM Snatches/C&J to stay efficient & not end up running pregnant penguin/panting bear style. Learned about it during the CFEndurance seminar & use is sporadically here & there.

  23. I am relatively new to following THE WAY (1 month in), and I think I generally understand 1:1 when performing lifts/reps, but what does 1:1 mean on the rows, runs, swim? Is it rest the same amount of time that it took you to perform the actual activity? Rest 1 min after each, then repeat? Thanks in advance, JP
