At the start of day 3, CrossFit Yas only sat ten points behind Mayhem, making their performance in the Triple Deadlift even more important.
Going into the event, we figured it would be the handstand walks that separated teams, and this proved true through all three heats. In the final heat, the men of Mayhem were the third to the handstand walk, but got through them quickly. It wasn't until the end when team member Matt Hewett visibly struggled, failing the same handstand section three times in 30 seconds. OC3 men took the win for Event 3 with a time of 11:15. Mayhem tied for sixth.
Last year the word on the street was that Mayhem was going to win regardless of the women, however it was the women who carried them in the second portion of the Triple Deadlift. They remained smooth, and while they didn't hold the lead until part way through the event, they widened their lead once they got a hold of it. They were on their final deadlifts before any other team was off the handstand walks. This was the first time we've ever seen this much of a gap from the rest of the teams.
While the Mayhem women didn't win the event overall, they did win their heat. CrossFit 417 had set the time to beat of 23:47 back in the first heat, and it held solid through the rest of the event.
CrossFit Yas finished 13th in Event 3 and tied for 13th in Event 4, keeping them in second place. Mayhem still sits in first, 54 points ahead of CrossFit Yas.
