“Twenty point One”

Moments after Castro’s original post, flurry theories bubbled to the surface. Some of the top CrossFit athletes even got in on taking a guess.

Kristi Eramo: “Deadlift and burpee pull ups.”
Jacob Heppner: “Telling you….it’s a “repeat” of 7:00 of burpees, but since donkeys have been known to have great verticals it’s BBJO”
Tim Paulson: “He’s back”
Meredith Root: “That one pony is taking a pee. So obvi double unders and heavy squat cleans.”
Chandler Smith: “Dave! We meet again! So glad to be providing my services to you and the CrossFit world writ large in regards to deciphering your clues.
The honor is truly mine. Now let’s get down to business and make up some puns, shall we? So the picture above has two donkeys. Donkey in Spanish? Burro. Easy to take the first half of that and guess burpees.
The conspicuous absence of boxes next to the donkeys and their presence in an open area with a fence ostensibly composed of bars tells me they will be bar facing. But what about the “ro”?
Everyone knows that ro is the 17th letter of the Greek alphabet and from this we can clearly expect to go 17 minutes!
Add this to the bar theme and I believe we’ll see chest to bar. Two donkeys equals a couplet. 17 min of bar facing burpees and chest to bar. Too easy.”

Even some of the Sanctionals got in on guessing what Dave Castro meant.
