CrossFit HQ released the athlete seedings for Week 2, while looking back at Week 1: “Thus far, the seeds have performed similarly to last year. This past week, 23 out of the 44 of the top 5 seeds, or 55 percent, qualified for the Games, compared to 61 percent last year.” Having trouble waiting for Week 2, Event 1 to start? These 2:44 seconds of Week 1 highlights will get you pumped up. Alec Smith’s current mood.
