CrossFit Open WOD 18.4 is in the books and here is our week 4 analysis and recap!
For the first time in CrossFit Open history, The Dave Castro announced not only 1, but 2 first time elements into an Open workout. For one, there has never been a CrossFit benchmark workout incorporated into an Open workout. This week, we saw “Diane” which is 21-15-9 rep scheme of Deadlifts (225/155lb) and handstand push up’s. But that wasn’t all folks! In addition, after you completed the 21-15-9 of Deadlifts and Handstand push up’s, for the first time ever CrossFit Games director Dave Castro incorporated Handstand walks as part of the workout. Within a 9 min time cap, you had to complete “Diane” as well as 21-15-9 Deadlifts (at a heavier weight of 315/205lb) and a 50ft handstand walk. A great workout all around that incorporated some heavy traditional weightlifting with the deadlift and some higher level gymnastics with the handstand push ups and handstand walk.
With that said, the #PrototypeOpen has been one of if not the closest race we have seen to date! #BeardedBlueDragons came out strong with the majority of the top 10 performances however, #KeepinItTeal came through with some great showings from their athletes and took away 2/3 of this weeks awards!
This week came down to some clutch top performances from #BeardedBlueDragons and was the difference maker for this week! #BeardedBlueDragons came in with a total of 94 points while #KeepinItTeal was close behind with 84 total points. The race is close and will most certainly come down to the last workout as #BeardedBlueDragons lead by only 16 TOTAL POINTS (450 to 434). IT IS ANYONE’S GAME, WHO DO YOU GOT FOR THE WINNER?!?!
Finally, a big shout out to the top 10 performers in both the men’s and women’s divisions (see below) and also BIG shout out to this week’s Most Spirit, Hardest worker and Top performer award winners! These individuals receive an additional 5 points for their team! There were several nominations for each category this week and it was not an easy decision (we like it that way!).
Keep up the great work #CFPFamily and let us know your thoughts on what you think 18.5 will have in store!
