I mean, the 8th grade girl (cis female BTW), gets to use the same sort of narrative James Rodgers does above, right?
Froning only has a ~33" SVJ, which is neither super duper good, but well above average (comparable to some NFL running backs),
so we can't blame Larousse's 'Townsend effect' there really?
You would think a lifetime of CrossFitTM workouts and competing in the named WODs, one would do well with what is a mostly glycolytic affair like a 400m. And we can't blame "lack of skill" for a relatively poor 400m time. Its not like handstand walk event, or even like a 40 yard dash (sprinting form & optimal mechanics).... its just running really fast (90% for a lap).
Think hard.
