As soon as we knew cycling would be part of Event 1 for this year’s CrossFit Games, whispers spread of a triathlon, but Dave Castro finally debunked that rumor. Instead, Event 1 is a criterium, also known as a crit, which is a type of bike race. Competitors will have to complete 10 laps for time within a cycling circuit at Alliant Energy Center.
According to the Games site, each lap will be 1,200± meters.
