Had the pleasure to meet Tia in Whistler 2019, a true gem of a human being! A fierce competitor on the field but the nicest person you could ever meet!
For anyone wondering…. Dave cut out the bit where him and Tia discussed the egregious penalty applied to her step ups in the quarterfinals that took the win from her…. The queen reigns regardless 👸. LFG!
I love that you brought up Shane telling her to slow down on the peg boards because I’ve watched that so many times and wondered if you’d ever talked to her about it since then. I agreed wholeheartedly at the time!
O tanto que eu sou fã da tia, não da pra escrever aqui. Todos os dias eu vou treinar assistindo as performances dela aqui nesse canal. Ela é uma atleta completa, me inspira muito, demais, meu sonho é conhecer a Tia pessoalmente! Se Deus quiser vou conseguir! 💪🏼🔥❤️🇧🇷
I wish that there were Crossfit games back in the late 1960's and early 1970's, I was perfect for that sport. Wrestled Jr, and senior high school and in college as a heavyweight. Ran mile and 2 mile as a sophomore in H.S. * 6' 0.25 ", 235 pounds, just uner 5.0% bodyfat, (Water tank test monthly) * 55 inch chest, 38 inch waist, 32 Inch circumference in thigh. * Used to bench 450+, leg press 1,100 + * Sometimes in the off-season morning 10 mile runs, I would finish in under an hour (that is 10 consecutive sub-six minute miles). I would lose 10 pounds in the summer, because all we did was run. It strips the upper body muscle mass for energy. Wreslting is the perfect base for crossfit. We are studs in aerobic and anaerobic events. In season: * 5 mile run in morning, almost always finished under 30 minutes * Weight training sometime in the morning sometime, 1.5 hours with coach pushing and monitoring you. (I always had to lower wieghts when lats lifted my arms off body. I add muscle really easily) * Practice usually 1.5 to 2.0 hours before season starts We were simply studs. There is nothing harder than trying to out-manuever or fatigue another athlete that is essentially your equal. No national titles, there was no upper weight limit back then. Chris Taylor went to the Olympics in 1972, 6" 5", 440 pounds. I could not get my arms around him to throw him. - The retired redneck accountant
I hope the workout is literally just the same Chad 1,000 almost every CrossFiter did last year. The dread the athletes feel about doing it, the dread we just saw all over Tia… yeah, that’s the shit. Gimme all of that.
Maybe the leaked open announcement workout just a few hours before, that was held at her gym. Or maybe she's thinking about Sean saying she was retiring and it was her final games in 2022 even though she wasn't.
She should have to wear a weight vest to even out the playing field. She’s the goat. The women’s division is horribly boring when she competes. It’s not even close.
I admire how good she is. I know people start hating the person who wins all the time. One day she is going to retire, it might be after this year or next.
