As some of you have already pointed out to me, the CrossFit Games schedule shows that individual athletes will be competing in the coliseum tomorrow evening from 4:25 – 7:00 PM. But as of yet we have no details on the third event.

So far the calendar shows time slots for 13 total events, which tracks similarly with the last few years. Why it’s unlikely there are hidden, unscheduled events…whether the Games lasted three, four or five days, in recent years they almost always averaged three events per day which is exactly what we’re seeing right now.

Yesterday morning, after being allowed one test lap around the course, athletes lined up to complete one lap for time. The time trial would seed their placement for Thursday’s event where the top 5 finishers would start in the front of the first heat, and athletes 6 – 10 in the front of the second heat.

1. Ricky Garard 2. Mathew Fraser 3. Jason Smith 4. Cody Mooney 5. Streat Hoerner 6. Jason Carroll 7. Frederik Aegidius 8. BK Gudmundsson 9. Travis Mayer 10. Rob Forte.

1. Kristin Holte 2. Sam Briggs 3. Tennil Reed 4. Anna Tunnicliffe 5. Katrin Davidsdottir 6. Kenzie Riley 7. Emily Abbott 8. Tia-Clair Toomey 9. Jamie Greene 10. Bethany Branham.

FUN FACT #1: Both Travis Mayer and Rob Forte raced motocross competitively through his teens. We were also told Ricky Garard was nearly professional motocross but couldn’t verify that.
