The penultimate workout of the Granite Games, “3/3/1”, was a true test and only two female and five male athletes finished within the time limit. It looked like this:
3 Rounds
3 on/1 off
- 30/22 Calorie Bike
- 20 TTB
then
- 60 S2O
It wasn’t a problem at all for American Nick Bloch, who dominated the event and finished in 6:46, almost four minutes before second place.
The last workout established the leaderboards, and it was Emily Rolfe, Travis Mayer and CrossFit Krypton who won this year’s Granite Games.
