With the 2017 Kill Cliff Granite Games just over a week away, some of the events are starting to be released. The three day event features several divisions including Pro Individual, Masters, Teens, Community Teams and Teams of 3.
Here’s a look at what we know so far.
Swim
On Saturday, all divisions will be getting wet. Every division will be jumping in the lake for a 400-meter swim. If it’s anything like the Beach Swim at last year’s CrossFit Games, it will be a brutal sprint. The Games swim was 500m so a shorter swim and calmer waters could mean pandemonium getting into the water.
Down N’ Back
The individuals competing face some really heavy deadlifts paired with handstand walks and handstand push-ups. For the Pro division, men will be deadlifting 405 pounds and women will be picking up 275 pounds. The weights are doable, but could add up.
