I like some aspects of CF but have lately lost some interest as it seemed to be moving more towards a focus on olympic lifting and less endurance, well this event in the CF games will make things really interesting. Any bets on the fastest time? Anybody familiar with where the event is taking place? Some of these guys are insane in their athletic abilities, if they can reasonably complete this event and do well at the rest i will be very impressed.
