I thought the programming was really well balanced.  It tested and separated the fittest on earth.  From a spectator perspective it was entertaining.  As an athlete it was 100% accessible.  I really enjoy seeing atypical but fundamental movements used as a test for accuracy.  The speed skills menley was an example of that with the rope skips.  The crossover double under was interesting, but kind of like the triple under, not something I will be testing soon.  Doing the common, uncommonly well.  I always enjoy seeing the heavy events.  Sandbag ladder and Back Nine provided athletes the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to go heavy.  

I did not particularly covet any implements.  I will not be purchasing Jerry bags or a Husafell bag.  I will keep my eyes out for sandbags, but will only be purchasing a 100# bag.
