Yep, they are exactly like us, in fact in their definition they state the goal of CF is to be generalists of the "ten fitness domains". They pretty much do everything triathletes do and like triathletes assume they are better than everybody else because they are somewhat skilled in multiple sports.You seem knowledgeable about CF. What's the deal with this event*? Specifically, what's up with having to hold the rope?

*I like watching the CF games.
I calculate the winners ran 6.5min/mile pace for the run. Not shabby at all considering how much muscle mass they all have.
I recon the rope is just to keep the paired team together. Also gives a chance to add equipment (a rope) into the event.
Professional CrossFitters do not do CrossFit for training. They cant. CrossFit is not training, it is cross fitness, the exact opposite of training. They train just like any other professional lifter does, like we do, like everyone does: repetition in what you want to improve in.
Also, 6:30 per mile for two miles is nothing special. I can, and have, done that rate for that distance and I am dead average in my age group for run times and I am far from a professional anything.
