ROGUE INVITATIONAL/DAY 3 LAY OF THE LAND
|
| |
|
|
|
In just a few short hours, the elite men and women of the Rogue Invitational will take the field once again after weather delays impacted yesterday’s events. With the potential for more rain in the forecast on Moving Day, the athletes are scheduled to take on three events. Roman Khrennikov and Laura Horvath sit atop the leaderboard at the moment, but with 300 points up for grabs today, it’s still anyone’s game.
The first event on the docket today is “10th Inning,” an appropriately named test comprised of 10 rounds of four ring muscle-ups, eight handstand push-ups and 12 power snatches. The day will end under the lights with heavy barbells for Event 6: 1-Rep Max Deadlift.
The 2023 Fittest Man on Earth, Jeffrey Adler, talked about his thoughts during the final mile run of Event 1: Texas Heavy:
- “I was pretty confident in at least the top three, but I saw a chance to win and I’m gonna try to grab every point that I can.”
One big number: 90 – The number of minutes Event 3: The Circus was delayed, due to severe weather.

- Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr and Jeffrey Adler won event 1 at the Rogue Invitational on Thursday night and held the lead on day one.
- It took two events on Friday for Laura Horvath and Roman Khrennikov to steal the top spots on day two.
- ICYMI: CrossFit’s new VP for Affiliates and Operations, Jay DeCoons responded to questions about statements he made in 2018 about CrossFit and safety, and about his experience in and around the affiliate community.
- Not Rogue: Theo’s WOD is going on today–it’s a tribute WOD for a 19-month-old named Theo Huff who passed away in 2016 from a rare form of pediatric cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma. The tribute WOD fundraiser benefits the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation, learn more and donate.
One last thing: With three top-five finishes in three events so far (1st, 5th, 2nd), it’s safe to say that Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr’s comeback tour is in full swing. That said, Laura Horvath sits on a five-point lead atop the leaderboard.

Sweat, Cleaner.
CrossFit, we idolize sweat as much as you do. However, it’s often misunderstood; body odor is caused by bacteria, not sweat itself. Deodorants have limitations, which is why we created Oxters, the Original In-Shower Underarm Wash. Use code MCU20 for 20% off at checkout.
OPTIMIZE UNDERARM PERFORMANCE, AND IMPROVE BODY-ODOR CONTROL.
