Advanced, Intermediate & Masters Athletes
For time, complete:
Time Cap: 45 minutes
Event Flow
At 3, 2, 1, athletes will take off on the 1km obstacle course. The course will wind through the beautiful Huskisson foreshore and feature a series of obstacles designed to challenge your agility, coordination and grit before returning to Shark Net Beach.
Once you cross through allocated markers, you’ll make your way directly to the swim entry point where you’ll complete a single 200m out across and back swim. Athletes should enter and exit the water via the designated entry lane, following all course markers and rounding the swim buoys as directed.
After exiting the water, competitors will immediately head back out onto the obstacle course to complete a second 1km lap. Your finishing time will be recorded as you cross the finish arches for the final time.
This event is completed continuously with no breaks, so pacing, efficient obstacle transitions and smooth water entry and exit will all play an important role in achieving a fast overall time.
Movement Standards
Athletes are permitted to wear wetsuits if they choose. Accessory devices such as floats, pull buoys, fins and hand paddles are not permitted.
Athletes are to swim out and around all of the designated buoys passing on their left.
There will be a huge water safety team in place so everyone can just focus on having fun!
The run will be a combination of beach, rock and concrete path and will be clearly marked. Athletes must run on the designated route at all times. Support vehicles and/or pacers are not allowed. Wearing headphones is not allowed.
The Obstacles may include features you have to climb over (around 4ft) as well as obstacles to crawl under.
For OH&S reasons communal foot baths will not be provided BUT, athletes are welcome to use their water bottle and/or towel to wash the sand off their feet if they so choose.

Movement Standards
Athletes must start in their designated holding pen/lane seated in their kayak.
Once the heat starts each Athlete must push off from the water’s edge and begin paddling towards the designated buoy. The athlete will paddle along the designated route at all times keeping the marker buoys on their right.
Once the athlete returns to the shore they must exit the water carefully, then carry their Kayak from the water back to their pen where they must gently lay it down.
NOTE: The Kayak’s are not to make contact with anything but sand, water and human. Penalties can be applied if an athlete causes a board to make contact with the metal crowd control barriers.
Athletes must pick up the kettlebells and carry along the designated course the required distance. Athletes must carry the kettlebells in the hand by the side throughout but may place bells down to rest as they need.
Kettlebell Thrusters (Single Arm)
Each set of kettlebell thrusters begins with the kettlebell on the ground. Athletes must clean the kettlebell up into the front rack position. From there athletes must squat down with kettlebell until their hip crease clearly goes below parallel with the top of the leg. Athletes must then drive the kettlebell overhead in one fluid motion. The rep is credited when both athletes have the kettlebell overhead with arms, hips and knees extended at the same time.
Kettlebell Hang Snatch (Single Arm)
The rep starts from the hang position. After the kettlebell is lifted off the floor, the athlete must pause with the kettlebell at the hang position, between the legs. From there, the athlete may perform a muscle snatch, power snatch, squat snatch, so long as the kettlebell comes up and DO NOT make contact with the shoulder while being lifted overhead. The rep finishes with the kettlebell directly overhead with arms, shoulders, knees and hips locked out.
At the bottom of the movement, the kettlebell may NOT touch the ground between repetitions. If they do, this will result in a “no rep” and the athlete must pass through the hang position again before starting the next repetition. The bell must be lifted overhead in one motion.
This event is called ‘Big Dawg’
Advanced, Intermediate & Masters
For load, in 5 minutes
Time Cap: 5 minutes
Event Flow
At 3, 2, 1, go athletes will step forward to their bar to complete a max weight attempt of the complex prescribed. Within 5 minutes athletes may have as many attempts as they like to set a heaviest weight (bars can be preloaded before the timer starts).
You may go down in weight if you choose. Remember to always wait for your judges down call or you will receive a no rep for that attempt. Touch and go style is permitted on the hang clean so long as you reach a proper standing lockout position on each rep before descending the bar. Not stopping to show control of the clean at the top will also result in a no rep.
Movement Standards
Each rep, the barbell must begin on the ground. Athletes then perform a clean, taking the bar from the ground to the front rack position. Athletes may choose to do a squat or power style clean.
The rep is credited when the barbell is in the front rack with the bar making contact with the torso and elbows in front of the barbell with the athlete’s hips and legs extended. If the feet have moved out during the lift they must be recovered to the width of hands as a minimum.
Hang Clean
The Hang Clean begins with the bar touching the mid thigh with arms straight and ends with the bar touching both shoulders in the “Front Rack” position with the elbows in front of the barbell. Athletes may receive the bar at any height (power or squat) but must stand up the bar fully with hips and knees locked out before the rep is awarded.
Each rep begins with the barbell in the front-rack position and the bar in contact with the torso.
