She finished with a time of 2:49.40 and moved up to the first-place overall.

Among the men’s division workouts, the Back Attack was the first in which the overall leaderboard was shook up. This event saw many surprises like Nick Mathew comfortably winning and claiming 100 points for the first time at the 2022 Rogue Invitational. Jeffrey Adler also put up an impressive performance, having finished 12 seconds behind Nick and finished in second.
The consistent performances Justin Medeiros produced during each workout justified his reputation. After finishing in 4:46.58 and placing third, Justin immediately increased his lead over the field by 35 points.
