CrossFit 8 Mile Intramural Open 25.1 Friday Night Lights Showdown!
25.1 is sponsored by 8 Mile’s own Derek Favaro and Roughneck Barbers!
Fresh year, fresh Open, fresh workouts, and fresh faces! We’re kicking off Week 1 of Friday Night Lights with a spotlight on three new CrossFit 8 Mile athletes. While they’re no strangers to CrossFit or The Open, this is their first season with us—and their first taste of our legendary intramural showdown. Let’s hope their team captains gave them a proper warning because these nights are nothing short of electric!
Friday Night Lights: 25.1 – The Ultimate Test Begins!
New faces, new fire, and a workout that’s about to shake things up! This week, our three CrossFit 8 Mile newcomers step into the spotlight for their first Friday Night Lights showdown. But don’t let the “new” fool you—Kristen, Erin, and Alicia are battle-tested and ready to throw down. The question is: who will conquer 25.1?
At first glance, the workout looks simple—burpees, dumbbell hang power clean & jerks, and walking lunges. But don’t be deceived; the devil is in the details.
Kristen, with her height advantage, may relish the lunges but wish they were weighted for an extra edge. The dumbbell might seem manageable at first, but that volume can sneak up fast. Erin and Alicia, on the other hand, are likely eyeing one thing: the burpees. If 25.1 is truly a burpee battle, their strategy will be to manage everything else and send it on the burpees. But can they maintain the pace when fatigue sets in?
Here’s where it gets interesting—who will fall into the trap? The 3-6-9 rounds feel like a breeze, but the race alongside two other firebreathers might push someone to go out too hot. Will we see a phoenix—an athlete who burns out early but fights back to claim victory? Or will the tortoise take the win, keeping cool, calm, and collected while others fade?
Is it a risk to push the pace? Will someone hold back too much and regret it? Can all three athletes maintain the heat without burning up? There’s only one way to find out… show up and witness the madness! 🔥🔥🔥
