2020 CrossFit Games Finals Event 2
Corn Sack Sprint
For time:
320-meter hill sprint with a corn sack
W 30 lb. M 50 lb.
“Sprint might be a bit of a misnomer,” Adrian Bozman said going over a video of the event being tested. “This is one of the most pure test of functionality in my opinion; it’s can you get yourself and an object over the line. There’s no way to really strategise around it, there’s no way to game it – you just have to go.”
