The men’s competition at the Northwest Regional contained 66 athletes, including 2009 Games competitors Chris Spealler, Eric O’Connor, Jerome Perryman, Zach Forrest and Jordan Holland. Also in the mix was HQ trainer Todd Widman, as well as Moe Kelsey, who is pre-qualified for the 2010 Games via his 2009 podium finish. The event was held May 15-16 in Puyallup, Wash.
The regional featured four events:
WOD 1—3 rounds of 10 overhead squats (135 lb.) and 50 double-unders.
WOD 2—As many reps as possible in 90 seconds of Apollons axle deadlifts at 263, 303 or 353 lb., with the score calculated by multiplying weight by total reps.
WOD 3—5-mile run.
WOD 4—30-calorie row, 30 thrusters (95 lb.), 3 rope climbs (20 ft.), 30 kettlebell swings (2 pood); 20-calorie row, 20 thrusters (115 lb.), 2 rope climbs, 20 kettlebell swings; 10-calorie row, 10 thrusters (135 lb.), 1 rope climb, 10 kettlebell swings.
When all was done, three more athletes had secured a spot in the Games: Chris Spealler (first) and Eric O’Connor (third), both from Park City, Utah, along with Jerome Perryman (second) from Portland, Ore.

Personally, I think Speal should be good for a bye into the games.
Perhaps anyone who wins an event should get a return invite, along with the top 10 (not sure exactly) and past champs?
On the other hand, we wouldn't see him dominate the regionals like this, so maybe not.

After watching so many HQ trainers on other vids, it's weird to think that anyone else may be as fit, or even more fit, as them. When I saw Speal wasn't in first after day one my jaw dropped. The work capacity of these guys is insane. Hope to be on that level someday. Congrats!

This is a magnificent way to 'get to know' the athletes, thanks, inspiring performances - as usual. Go Speal go!
The competition level, holy cow. The mind boggles at how far this can go.

Nick,
Moe would have ranked 7th. We think its very cool that he came out and competed even though he's pre-qualified. We were happy to have him as part of the competition and his scores were kept in all but the final rankings.

You guys get the feeling that there are many, many guys who didn't qualify that would make some serious noise at the games?
Many thanks to HQ for posting these vids on the Journal, LOVE IT!!!

I'm curious how speal did on the deadlift and what the scoring was for it. he won 2 of the 3 events the first day and wasn't in the lead. That guy is a unreal and a class act to boot.

Just did some leg work and saw that he came in 25th on the deadlift. It'll be interesting to see at the games how much the weight chosen plays into the winner.

Can someone explain why Castro said row for calories aspect helped Spealler out as opposed to distance?

You get points equal to your place in the workout, so the lowest points at the end is the winner. For example, Speal came in 1st, 25th, 1st and 1st- giving him a total score of 28.
