The Most Grueling Outdoor Competition!

Three, two, one, go.

Who's got that heart?

Barely breathe through that.

All you gotta do is get it back.

Let's go.

Welcome into the 2024 first form outdoor Games where we are combining fitness and the outdoors. And I'm joined here by a great booth of people. We have my guy, AJ Kazmarzak, AKA the Coffee Viking, Jess Crane and first form athlete Dale Beatty.

Let's go.

And we have some big news to get out of the way right off the bat. And that is introducing our new pro staff members for First Form Outdoors Games. Sal gathers everybody around here outside before the competition kicks off. Call us your name and that to objects. Let's take a look at that real quick.

Before we get into the festivities today, I'd like to announce our pro staff winners, our male champion. I'm not even going to pretend to.

Say his last name, but it's my man, aj.

Aj.

Guys, real quick. What a lot of you guys don't realize is I actually two months ago lost my job and the nine month old at home. My wife has been absolutely incredible and she has kind of taken over the, the brunt of all of the responsibilities and things like that and actually told me to go all in with this and I'm incredibly thankful and let's have one hell of a weekend.

Gu.

AJ as you can see, is all in.

And the second athlete for the pro staff is Jess Crane.

I can't even explain what this community means to me. I mean, you fall, you have so many hands to get you back up. It's like this family means so much to me and to my husband and everybody goes through their shit. But I appreciate every single one of you and I appreciate the open arms of just being so welcomed into this community. And I loved meeting absolutely everybody. First form's the shit.

I can't even explain it. Thank you guys so much.

Guys, how's it feel to be to be introduced as First Form Outdoors pro staff members? I know, it's exciting stuff.

Yeah, I mean, I mean, the short of it is emotional and surreal. I know during the announcement it was absolutely incredible, you know, having the family brought in and being completely surprised and thrown off guard. And I've been going through, you know, some personal stuff for the last three months. The wife took over and took care of a lot of stuff to let me really dive in and focus on First Form. First form outdoors in the family and atmosphere that we've created here, which has made all the difference. So super, super blessed from that standpoint and then just blessed to Be out here. I mean, sitting here with you guys and stuff like that, like, surreal and emotional is the easiest way I can sum up my experience up to this point.

Yeah, I could not agree more. I mean, this is. It was super emotional and I was not expecting it one day for sure. I mean, oh, man, I definitely had some tears in my eyes for sure. And just so excited to be around all these amazing individuals and just stoked to be here. And it's like he said, first form is a family. And it's like when you fall, you have 15 hands coming at you to pick you right back up. And we all can be better and we all can all do better. And it's one day at a time. And I'm just blessed to be here for sure.

Super excited to add you guys both to the pro staff team for sure. Obviously, with the outdoors team growing, it's great to have two great individuals like yourself join the team. So. And I know Dale as a previous winner of the athlete search, you can kind of speak of those things, like what it takes to actually earn a spot there. Because I always tell people like that you just don't win it. I mean, everything's earned here. And you guys definitely have done that.

Absolutely. Yeah. Everything is earned. You know, nothing has been, you know, like given to you guys. You have earned both earned this position. And I'm just proud of both of you.

Yeah.

Greatly appreciate it.

Absolutely.

All right. The first form game. So what this is, it's a combination of fitness and the outdoor space. We have a lot of action about to go down here. We have a group, a great group of female competitors and a great group of male competitors. We have two days of events with three workouts on day one, two workouts on day two, and the first workout starting off hot right off the bat. September is Coming is the name of this workout. It is a three quarter mile trail run followed by 20 air squats, 20 box step ups and then two arrows downline to score a round. And then they would do that for three rounds total. We do want to thank our sponsor of Workout 1, which is vlog Vortex, the leader in optics and rangefinder. So the competitors will be using rangefinders to range in the targets for the bow shot. So thank you. Out to Vortex. Visit them for all your optics and rangefinder needs. So a great one to get going. And it's gonna be tough out there because it's been raining, so it's kind of sloppy. It's a little messy.

Yeah, it's, it's Gonna be interesting. It's gonna be brutal, and it's absolutely gonna be a dog fight out there. I mean, it poured from 7pm last night to, like, 6am and being out here on a farm, being in these hills, I mean, there's water cut through hills. Soupy, swampy mess. People are gonna have to make sure they've got sure footing.

And that's, like, how it is in the backcountry, too. So it's like, this is a prime example of what you go through in September, so.

Absolutely, Absolutely. The leaderboard is gonna be changing, you know, throughout all these workouts.

You know, we were kind of talking earlier about, like, how everyone's strengths are gonna. And weaknesses are really gonna get exposed one way or the other between guys that are, you know, we crossfit athletes here that are going to be probably stronger in the fitness elements, but we have people who are competitive archery shooters as well that might be a little bit stronger as far as, you know, shooting the bows and stuff. So exciting stuff to come. I know the women are just about to kick off here shortly, so we're excited for that. And we'll see how the competition runs here in the first workout.

This is workout number one, sponsored by Vortex. Let's send it.

It's.

The girls. Just came in after the work, the first workout, and we have a new set leaderboard now with the Lacey Zielinski coming in, coming in on the top, followed by Abby and then Ashley Dix. Yeah. Ron out the top three.

So I'm surprised to see Ashley back in third place because she came out hot. Super hot.

She let it for two rounds, and Lacey was at no point in the top. So that shows how much these archery shots are going to play.

Effect.

Absolutely.

You can see Lacy was super strong on the. On shooting her arrows and, like, hitting the. Hitting the targets there. I know they had some, like, Brit, someone who. I think Britt Mace, who was definitely a favor coming into it, someone who's going to be a strong competitor. Had a couple issues with her shots. I know a couple off target, which really, you know, penalized her there and made her fall back to the five spot there.

So, honestly, at the end of the day, I think it's going to come down. It's going to come down to shooting, because if you missed a target, if you're off target, you're putting on 60 seconds onto your time, and that's a huge difference when it comes to a competition like this.

A perfect bullseye, perfectly executed shots is a subtraction of 20 seconds to your total time. But one bad arrow off that target and you're adding a minute, which also.

Shows you how much Ashley was cruising, because from my understanding, she missed a couple shots off paper, right? Correct. And she's still in third place. So that shows how fast she was cruising.

For sure. And I think Abby was. She must have done good on her shots. And then she stayed, I mean, pretty close to the front from my understanding on that, too.

So see when.

Yeah, I'll tell you. Out of the top three right now, in that fourth spot is Melanie Hooper. And being able to be here and see everybody warm up and see how they stretch and take the day before. Yeah. Melanie Hooper is locked in. She knew her routine coming in. She got her light workout in, she came out here, she stretched, she did everything, and she is in the zone, ready to go. So I look for her to be up, up top on one of these next, next events.

Oh, yeah.

I was talking with Lacy after that first workout, and she did suffer a little bit of an ankle injury. I don't know if she's going to get that thing taped up or not, but I'll be very interested in seeing how she progresses through these workouts if she's able to hang on to that top spot for the rest of the day.

All right, so after workout 1 2, we also caught up with Ashley Dicks and her husband Lucas. Dicks are the, the, the husband wife combo that are competing out here today. And here's what she had to say about workout one.

It felt great. It was extra muddy out there. Didn't slip and fall, could barely breathe through that nice muggy air, but we rocked it. The girls did great. We had fun out there and just gonna get ready for round two.

We're go.

We got this pumped up now.

Yeah, I'm excited.

Yeah, it was so fun.

This is workout number one, sponsored by Vortex. Let's send it.

Sam.

All right, so the men just finished their workout one, sponsored by Vortex, and we just got the results coming into the leaderboard and kind of, I guess, not so surprisingly, most of the big CrossFit guys, the train, CrossFit, kind of up top with the longer runs, and obviously the CrossFit elements with the box step ups and air squats. So we have Kyle Herbert, number one, Justin Rhodes, two, and our guy, Luke Parker rounding up the top three. That was a. Those.

Can I say I called it.

Did you call it?

I'm pretty sure I did. Maybe two of the three. Maybe the two of the three, but I called it.

What did you call it? Pretty much a lot of those guys came out hot, especially those top three.

Yeah, came out way hot. Came out super hot. But I mean, that's what you got to do.

Round one.

You kind of got to just leave it all out there, literally on the farm. And you know, much like you're hunting as well, you know, you leave it all out there and you know.

Well, and we had mentioned it off camera earlier, the fact that the girls went first on an already soupy course, they were talking about getting stuck. And so these guys, I mean, some of these guys are carrying around 2, 220, 240 and they're cruising through. I mean, they got to be sinking into that mud. That's got to be playing a factor 100%.

I mean, they're all filthy when they came in, so.

Well, and you know, we were talking about it earlier, the fact that in the nine spot, Bryce Collier had a degenerative H disease, has a hip replacement replacement and is out here still crushing it.

Right, Exactly.

Absolutely wild to see. And then what were you saying that happened earlier?

Troy losses.

His release.

Unfortunate circumstance happen midway through the run. Troy loses release out in the field.

But still holding eight, still holding eighth place.

Talk about calling an audible and being able to find that other release to be able to stay in the, in the fight. And I mean, you know, Kyle Herbert's after round one.

What?

Just chalk it up that he's a Florida man. You know what I mean? He's a Florida man. It makes sense.

All right, about to get on the way with Workout 2, titled Nobody Ever said it would be Easy, sponsored by Grizzly Coolers. And guess what? We got more running in the workout two. Except we have the Sam the sandbag getting applied to this workout. So it's going to be three rounds of 20 sandbags over the shoulder. Then the athletes will take about a nice 200 yard jog with the sandbag, loop around, come back, drop the sandbag, go take two shots and then they will do that for three rounds total. So 60 sandbags over the shoulder, about three rounds of 200 yard runs and then six shots total.

And, and the weight in this, 40 pounds for women.

50. 50 pounds for women.

50 pounds for women. How much for men?

100 pounds for men. But the 100 gift real. Yep, 50 pounds. So this one's going to get a little spicy and this one's going to be obviously a test of strength with this one. So the first one, not so much strength elements added, but this one with the Sandbag going to be a tough strength battle.

Workout number two. Kicked it up a notch.

Kicked it up. 100% kicked it up.

It's going to be interesting.

Yeah. All right, let's see how it plays out here on the field.

Workout number two. Got you by grizzly. Three, two, one.

All right, as expected, workout two was a spicy son of a gun.

And then another 1P energy after that.

Yeah, dude, I need some energy after that one.

Gas.

They had a gas off of that one. We have an updated leaderboard now. Definitely a little shake up from round from the first workout. So we got Lacey in the top spot now. Ashley moving up the board to two. Brit Mays coming in at three, Melanie, four. And then Abby Crawford number five. Round at the top five. And then we have Samantha, Tiffany, Gabby, and Dan. Dan. We got it her. Dan is in the nice spot.

So, I mean, I'm shake up.

Yeah.

Crazy like Melanie. Melanie Cruz.

Melanie was a beast in the bag.

She ended up overall with her shots.

Yes.

Hey, second workout. Step it up a little notch. And it shows.

And it did. And it did. And of course, you know, got to give a little. Little shout out where shout outs do. Gabby, the mom of two doing it for the postpartum moms out there, she went from, I believe, almost eighth or ninth in the first workout, and she ended up middle of the pack in this one. At fifth, she's working to climb that ladder as well.

Her shooting was sharp.

Yes.

You could also tell there was some more strategy coming into play on what was going to be the best way to carry the bag, especially with the run, because we saw Ashley kind of more backpacking style where everybody else kind of want more of a shoulder on the shoulder style. So which if you're thinking about holding your. Your bow, you kind of want to keep that shoulder fresh. So there's definitely some more strategy coming into play. I think people are gonna looking for the advantages moving forward of how they can kind of get that slight edge because it's really like everyone's times are kind of grouped pretty close. So it's who can really gain the edge and then also who could be the most accurate with the bows.

I spoke with Ashley after that, that round there, and I was like, where did you get that kick Carrie from? She was like, honestly, I just imagine carrying one of my kids wild. I was like, that was perfect.

We were calling it a turtle back and it was kind of like back.

Here, I was like, I'm playing with the kids, running around with them.

It works.

Exactly.

You Know what I mean?

This one was definitely a lot harder. I heard a lot of comments of, I'd rather do workout one again.

You can tell from the, from the footage too. Like, that was a tough one. They. They had to dig deep for that one too. And I don't think the sandbags were anybody's friends towards the end of that.

Well, and with your point, I'm gonna be very interested to see the guys with the hundred pounds. If you go right side and you're right, let's assume you're a right handed shooter. You go on the right side, that's the, that's the one you draw with, right? But if you go on the left side, that's the one you stabilize with.

Which one do you want?

What are you gonna do here? You know what I mean? So I'm very excited to see how these guys tackle this workout. Yeah.

All right, let's see how they do.

This is workout number two, brought to you by Grizzly Cooler. Three, two, one, go.

Sam.

All right, so the men just wrapped up workout two. It was a tough one. The leaderboard got shaken up a little bit out there. I think Luke coming in winning workout two. Not a surprise of me. Yeah, he's. He was a beast. He definitely, definitely. I mean, this is kind of workout built for him, you know what I mean? He could bully this one, so. But more of the middle, bottom of the bracket definitely got shaken up, especially with Clint having a tough showing on that one for sure. Definitely a tougher workout for him, I would say. And I know he was on the range saying that he wasn't taking the best shots, so I know he's probably disappointed with that result. But your guys thoughts on that?

I mean, I was up here watching Clint. I mean, he was giving it everything that he had. It's just those sandbags, it was.

It warmed down. It warmed down and I think it did that with everybody. You know, we were joking about it, but there is legitimately still 10 souls behind us. Maybe, maybe nine because Luke crushed this. But there's definitely souls behind us. And it was crazy seeing on the, the return with the sandball. A lot of these guys are on their shoulders and they're like leaning forward and just pouring slack.

They were drenched.

It's like they just jumped in the pond behind us and then grabbed the sand.

It's like even that, that incline, that last bit of incline just gas people out. And they have to have both feet on before they can drop that sandbag. That £100.

I'll say this, nobody shot good across the board.

No guys were zero.

Guys or girls. There were zero good shots.

Yeah.

I do want to say Lucas too, moving up, had a great showing in this, this workout, which is crazy because literally in January, tore his pec off, had surgery. Like it's going to take you six months to come back. Comes back in three and jumps. He's the biggest jumper this year. This, this workout. Jumping up. I think he jumped up like four or five spots, right?

Yeah, four or five spots.

So Lucas Dix definitely showing out on that one, which is my surprise of that workout.

Personally, I think, I think he got mad that all of us were saying that his wife was the better athlete. True, true. I think it played.

Might have took that to heart. Might have took that to heart. Yeah.

But there was a lot of soul searching going on that entire workout.

Yep.

All right, so that was workout two. Tough one. Now we're going into workout three, sponsored by dialed archery, which is going to be more of a sprint, I guess you would call it. So it's going to be six rounds, ten burpees with one shot in between each round of burpees. The way's about to get set off here and we'll check back after that.

Workout number three, brought to you by Diode. Three, two, one, go.

Come on.

All right, so the ladies just completed workout number three.

I mean, the leaderboard did shake up a little bit. So. So end of day leaderboard, you know, you still got lacy up on top, which we kind of expected after that because she's been killing it. Yeah, she's been killing it. The one that was really cool to see was Melanie jumped from out of the top three and is now top.

Two, which knocks Britt out. Britt is now wild.

Britt did not have a great showing in the workout three, which is I guess surprising because you think that she would, she would crush. But yeah, you know, Absolutely. Yeah. Shooting wasn't on point. So I know some, some ladies were firing some shots this time. Boy, they were. They were on it today.

Samantha crushed it. Absolutely murdered.

Absolute spotlight on her. Killed it. We're talking in the midst of doing those burpees. Yeah, we're talking two inch grouping.

It was the best shooting we have seen all day long.

Well, and we, and we just checked out her actual scorecard. You know, we've got the minus 20, we've got minus 10, plus 5, plus 10, plus 15, 20 and then the 60. Yeah. And her total for six arrows still ended up at a minus 30 seconds.

Minus 30 seconds.

That's huge.

That's massive. Massive. She was the overwhelming winner.

I'm curious to see how much that confidence boosts her in the next workout.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

And in that tie for second place between Melanie and Lacey.

Dude, listen. I keep going back to it. Melanie and Lacey are dogs. They came in, and they have been focused from the jump. I think it's the headband. It's, like, to power the headband.

Yes.

Yeah. You feel different when you got the headband on.

I'm you telling.

Telling you. I'm telling you.

All right, so workout three in the books for the ladies. Final leaderboard will be coming soon, and we're going to see the men. They're about to kick off, so come back. And with the results of that.

This is workout number three, brought to you by D. 3, 2, 1, go.

All right, so the men just completed workout three. Dial the retreat. Sponsoring this workout.

So this one were dialed.

Yes, the men were dialed in. The men were dialed in.

Yeah.

I mean, we got through talking with Sam, and we were looking at her groupings. We're like, that's it. That's. That's. That's the best shots of the whole day. Yeah.

She's the cake. Yeah.

And I think there was three guys that shot better than she did.

Yeah.

Nuts.

Justin coming out on top with Brandon coming in second. Troy coming up on the leaderboard, getting a top three placing from my guy, Troy followed by James. And then Luke Parker sliding there to Fistbot. Kyle Clinton, Bryce, Skyler Lucas to round up the top 10.

Not a great many surprises. Not a great showing from Skyler.

I'm.

I'm gonna be curious to see where he falls in on the final day. Total.

Yeah.

Really surprised that he ended up out of, like, way down in.

So I was on the range with Skyler, and he was. He said his forearms were blowing up, and his literally his first or second shot, he pulls up and just dumped it like, six. Like, literally lost his release and dumped it, like, six feet in front of him. So I know he lost an arrow, like, right off the bat. So definitely hard to come back from that, especially with such a, you know, more of the guys hitting more accurate shots this time around. I will say there was some. Some strategy getting played with the guy side I saw Luke was the only one that was knocking his arrow before he went into his burpees. So everyone else would set their bow down, and then they're done with burpees, and then they're kind of like, picking their bow back up knock it. Luke already had it knocked ready to go after, after his shots, which I thought was a smart move.

That is a smart move. But also too, I think it's, I think it's a smarter move to not knock it before because you get those extra few breaths and then you can take that shot, calm down a little bit more and then take that shot because you're going to take off more time by using that time, taking that shot, placing a good shot.

And you could see in the guys they want. They obviously watch the girls compete and you could see all of them at full draw. Their really trying to slow that breath way, way down because they saw from the girls standpoint it the shots mattered the most in this every. Everyone can do 60 burpees. That's out here. The shots are really what separated it and so it's, it's been wild to see, you know, absolutely incredible showing from Cowboy. Just Justin Rhodes, he shot lights out.

Oh yeah.

You know, Godzilla is what I nicknamed. That's a good one.

His quads are unreal. Nuts.

I'm also curious to see what this does for Troy too because he had some pretty good shots and I know he hasn't been too satisfied with his stuff, so.

All right, so that is a wrap up on day one of the 2024 First Form Outdoor Games. It's been a great day. A lot of fitness happening, a lot of some shooting, some good. So we saw a lot of good stuff, maybe some not as good stuff. I know some of them are probably satisfied with their performance. Some of them probably. Probably not so much. The leaderboards got shaken up all day long. I think it was a great, a great day to start to kick off these games. Some tough workouts. People were excited. They were getting after it. Definitely some brutal workouts. I know a lot of them are probably feeling it and we got a big day tomorrow. But that's a wrap on day one here at the first form 2024 outdoor games from the family Frisella Farm for Dale Beatty.

Let's go.

Jess Crane and aj Cheers, guys. Of Stomtanowski. I'm Josh. We'll check you guys on day two.

Peace.

Welcome back. It is day two of the 2024 first form outdoor games. We got a couple great workouts. Two workouts today. They're gonna be. These ones are gonna be some primal action out there.

Not gonna be fun.

No, it's not gonna be fun. Not gonna be fun. So we had a couple people that picked up some injuries. It's gonna happen this Is outdoor games, you know what I mean? Not everyone gets three one scave. So we got some interviews. We caught up with them this morning, especially Clint. Out of the guys I know he dropped a hundred pound sandbag on his ankle. That thing blew up like a balloon. So we got to talk to him. And then also Lacey rolled an ankle right off the chute on day one. She has to get a little tape job done. So let's go see what they had to say about that experience here at the first form outdoor games.

Round. 200100 pound sandbags. They put a whooping on me yesterday. So when I got to the concrete, I dropped it off the bag and I was going to take a step forward and it caught the back of my heel, rolled my ankle forward. So didn't really feel it too bad until I took my shoe off yesterday to hop in the ice bath. And then it started pounding a lot better. Better today than it was last night. So I'm still gonna get after it. Dude. Got some awesome help here and just gonna get me all taped up, ready.

To rock and roll.

So day two is gonna be better than day one.

I can say that much.

Other than the ankle, we're good. Yeah, we're gonna be all right. Tape it up and do what you can. I rolled it on lap one of event one and it was okay being on it all day, just keeping it loose, but it stiffened up, it swelled.

Up, but is what it is.

So finish the day strong.

All right, workout four. The men are going to get off the chute first. So the boys are going to get sent out first and then followed by the females. And we got a. We got a nice one for workout for. It's going to get spicy out there. Titled the Pursuit. I think it's a great title. It is sponsored by our friends over at Muley Freak. And basically we have a six station shot set up. Basically they're going to just take off into the woods, get to a station, take a shot, get to the next station, take a shot, get to the next third stage, take a shot. And then it gets a little bit spicier because at Station 4, alternating lunges with a sandbag and then a shot. And then Station 5, the Devil Press comes into play. That's going to get spicy. I'm never a fan of devil's presses. And then a shot. And then station six, we have a tree, 10 tree hoists and then kind of an option shot if you want. We have what's called an iron bison, which is kind of more of a risk, reward shot, a tighter shot, longer shot, or you can choose a more safer route with a closer target. But you get one shot at that to really try to, you know, gain some advantage there. So workout for. It's going to get up and it's going to get taken up a notch today.

Yeah, it's going to be taken up a whole different notch today.

I mean it's one of those things where like everything comes into play. Your conditioning, it's soupy out there. The water, the water level has probably rose an inch and a half just from all the rain and a clear path is now half underwater and guys are going to be pushing and shoving back and forth through there. It's going to be crazy to see. And then that iron bison, if you smoke that, you're shaving a full minute off your time. Very excited to see what happens.

It'll be massive for sure.

All right, let's go take a look at some live action with workout four. Sponsored by Muhlee Freak.

Workout number four, Bati Ban Muhly Freak.

Five, three, two, one, go. Let's go. Let's go boys.

Let's go boys. Come on, come on.

Get a move on, Get a move on.

There we go.

Catch that breath.

Oh my God.

Let's go.

All right, so we are back. Workout four for the men just concluded. Yeah, it was. That was one of the most. I think that was the most exciting workout I've seen so far. Yeah, especially to get Dave day two kicking off. That was a. An awesome one. And I just like personally speaking, my favorite part of the workout was just the send off. Right. It's just you, another guy. So they went off in pairs. The gun goes off and you just take off into the woods with your bow. Get to the first station and then let's just see what happens after that. So Luke, Kyle, Justin, top three. And then Skyler, Clint, Lucas, Trey Bryce, Brandon James surround out the full leaderboard of workout four. But that was a tough one, especially coming off day one. You know, get right back into it. Something too to mention that wild that happened in workout for our guy Brandon taking a little tip, he fell in the water.

Yeah, listen we, we had mentioned it before. Listen, we mentioned it beforehand. It's a trail run. It's got wild.

It's not just a trail run. It's a gnarly trail run for sure.

Straight up, straight down, absolutely crazy. I know Luke and Kyle were battling back and forth and Kyle or Luke started slipping. Kyle actually pushed him up cuz he also knew it was going to help his time.

What a team. What a. What are some of your highlights from workout 4? What did you see out there on the field?

I mean, workout four was absolutely impressive. Watching Luke and Kyle go at it and Justin as well, watching those three compete, even though we're in two separate groups, it was honestly impressive to see. I mean, they were out there giving it their all.

It was really cool. It was spectacular.

Yeah. And to see him teamed up with those. It's by place that they're teamed up, so they're pushing for that next spot.

Well, and I mean, it was absolutely ridiculous because you've got Luke, Kyle, Justin finishing in the top three. You've got Kyle that on his shots, executed and ended up at a plus minus zero. So his total score just ended up being how he finished because he hit the buffalo.

So him shot that did it. Yes.

Him and Luke are head to head.

Right.

And so he would have been a full. Well, a full minute. Less or more. More. And then all of a sudden, you gotta mention the athleticism that Luke has. Finishing the entire workout that we allotted 45 minutes for. We got our media who thought of that? Dude, we got our media crew behind us going and taking a quick break, and they hear, all right, they're coming in. We allotted 45 minutes for this. And Luke crushed in 22 flats.

Yeah, those guys were. Those guys. Top three guys, top four guys, I should say, were all cooking out there, not to put anything against y'. All. The guys that kind of finished behind, but those guys set a tour pace, but some awesome, exciting action there. And workout four. Excited to see what workout five is going to bring. But before that, the ladies are going to go take their rips at workout four, and we'll see what happens after that. So we'll check back when the ladies finish it up.

Workout number four, brought to you by Muley Freak. Three, two, one, go.

Oh, my God.

All right, we are back. The women just finished workout four. Well, I should say the women and AJ Finished workout four because we have nine contestants in the female bracket. AJ Being a pro staff member, can't say no, bro. So you had a sub in?

Yeah, yeah, apparently. What? What is that? We were saying? Voluntold. Yeah. Yeah. So. So they're going off in pairs. We've got an odd number of ladies and me just wanting to shoot my bow. I brought my bow to the event, thinking maybe I'll throw some shots up on the practice range. No one said anything. Everybody was in on it. And then all at once, I come back down the hill and Jake looks at me and goes, hey, we're going to need you to go ahead and suit up and get ready to go. And let me tell you, I have a newfound respect for both the guys and the girls. I did the weight for the guys on the lunges, and then we had the. The women's weight on the Devil's Press and the rope pull. I didn't even know what a Devil's Press was until two days ago. Listen, every single competitor here is an absolute savage. I'm exhausted. Thank goodness for. For first form energy. This is. I'm gonna let you guys take it over. You guys give yourself your thoughts.

So the way it shook out, Abby, number one. Melanie again, another strong show, and she's been on top of the leaderboard almost every workout. Lacy again, also probably top three. Most workouts finished number three. Then we have Brit and Tiff. And then we had Ashley. And we had Samantha. And then Gabby. Danica. Danika. Yeah, I gotta write this, right? And then AJ finished.

Aj.

AJ got it. AJ got it. Did not finish because he only brought five extra arrows instead of six. But I. I was also given a range finder with no battery, so I was just sent to slaughter.

Isn't it your responsibility to check your equipment before you go to the field? Okay, then. Well, Abby crushed you, so.

She absolutely crushed you. She finished that course. Guess.

I mean, I have no idea what. We allotted 45 minutes for it, so.

I'd assume probably seven minutes.

Yeah, 27.

27.

17 to be exact. So she was getting after it out.

That's absurd. Yeah.

That's impressive.

And in this, I mean, you can see how important your shots are. Because Lacy hit the bison.

Yes.

Yeah.

And she only wanted to do it.

Yeah.

Only girl to do it.

Yeah.

And she's. Yeah. And she's sitting what it. Third.

Third place.

Yeah.

So after workout four, we have a shake up of the overall leaderboard. Lacy still one, Mel still two. And then Brit moving up into the third spot.

Three.

Ashley moving up. I think she's kind of hovered around top five. Abby's there, then Tiffany, then Samantha, then Gabby, and then rounded up with Denika.

Sam shot lights out.

She still lights out. Going to get a day too.

Like she was lights out.

And at the end of the day.

Yesterday, lights out today, like, incredible. But we've got a top three shakeup in the women's for sure.

For sure.

It's pretty nuts.

All right, let's go. I know we caught up with some contestants or I Guess the athletes after workout four. Let's go. To see what they had to say about their experience with workout four.

Devil's press were hard, but I got through them okay.

Better than I thought. Good.

My shots.

I don't know what's wrong. In my head they all felt good, but I shot like they all felt good.

Going to the woods and take a sharp right. I went straight to attack. Let me see straight into the field. And I was like, where the body? And then I went back plus four or five minutes. Those double presses, the hardest thing that I've probably done yet.

I'm excited to see how we shake up after after workout five.

Workout five is going to be another. This, this one might take the cake. And this one's probably my favorite one by lone wolf backpacks. The first thing that's going to happen though is there's going to be some long distance shots which, which we haven't seen so far. Everything's been probably like what, 30, 40 yards you would say? Roughly. So workout five is gonna be an 80 yard shot for the men and then a 60 yard shot for the females. But they're gonna be elevated on a box for the first part and then the fun stuff happens. So they're gonna take their three shots with the long distance. Like I mentioned, 80 for the men, 60 for the females. And then they're gonna have to go and grab some, grab some weight, grab.

Some gear for sure.

All kinds of obstacle out there. So basically they're going to take off after their first shots. We have a sled, we have a sandbag, we have a weight, we have a water jug and that's a lot of weight. And the pack. And the pack. With a little, a little bit of weight in the pack too. Jake.

Jake.

With a little surprise. Hey, a little treat for you to take off too.

£8 break.

Yeah. Yeah. So with a lone wolf backpack. So we get to test it out here and work out five. And I'm looking forward to this one because I think this, obviously it's the last one.

1.

Everyone's probably gonna leave it on the line. This is what's gonna basically crown a winner and basically everyone else. So looking forward to this one. Anything that you guys are looking forward.

Particularly, I mean, the strategies. Like what, what are they gonna do? Like, you can take this so many different ways.

I mean, so the only rule is go out and bring it back. Other than that, you can do it in one trip, you can do it in three trips. You can pack it all on, you can strap it down. It's gonna be really cool to see how this works.

Specific with the guys. Luke was. I was talking to Luke's video guy, and he was like. They were in the room having some pillow talk last night, apparently. And his strategy. Yeah, his strategy was. Was like. He was just like, I'm just gonna take it. I think I'm just gonna take it all, Just grab everything, figure out a way to get out there. But the thing is with the. Where. Where the. All those are located that, you know, deep into the woods there, it's going to get dicey because I got to go across the dam. There's some log elements I got to get through.

The terrain is going to be.

Because it's so muddy, too.

Yes.

You have to.

You have to have a game plan before going into this thing. You cannot just get up there and be like, I'm going to figure it out. No. On that run up there the night before or right now, you need to be taking some time figuring out what is your game plan going to be to get all this back to base camp.

Absolutely. This is going to wrap up the final workout of the day. Workout 5. The men are just about to get launched off, so let's go take a look at some live action.

This is workout number five, brought to you by Lone Wolf. We go in three, two, one.

That.

Get it done, bubble.

All right, so the men just wrapped up workout 5. What a mother trucker that one was, bro.

Show out.

That was a tough one. You knew it was gonna be tough, but I think, you know, especially when those guys are struggling out there. Yeah, you knew that. That was a. That was a tough one. So workout five wrapping up, though, with a leaderboard of Justin finishing on the top. And then even though Kyle at the fastest time, Justin finishes on top because he shot better.

Right.

Kyle slides into two spot. Brandon comes in three, Luke. Four, Lucas. Five. Clint getting. Clint had a way better shooting day today than day one. I think he was more pro. He was pretty upset with the shooting on day one.

I'm glad to see that an ankle really hasn't affected him too much.

Yeah.

So Clint came in, then Skyler, Bryce, Troy, and James had us in the medic out for him. I thought maybe he might have, I don't know, vanished. But he.

I mean, he hammered through it.

He was like, get that. Get out of here.

Yeah, it was cool to see everybody and all the athletes come back out and cheer them on and cross that line.

That was a brutal workout.

So being out there and seeing how they were tying stuff in. I really, really thought Bryce was going to finish higher because he essentially used those lone wolf backpack straps and made almost like a train. He found an extra strap, hooked the water jug to the back of the sled, and gave himself some extra leg room with the straps. So that, that way he wasn't clipping the sled. And I think he just got wore out and beat down all of that weight being behind him. But, I mean, you know, Kyle, the Florida man.

The Florida man.

Florida man just showed out.

Oh, yeah, he showed out.

I mean, it was. It was insane. Yeah. Finishing time of a 22:09 and crushed. Dude looked like lightning. It was crazy.

He did.

All right. So the men finish up workout five. That's it for them. We're gonna wait till our judges and our scoring people gather all the. All the data and enter that into the old Excel spreadsheet to see who takes the crown and be crowned 2024 outdoors games champion. So we're gonna wait on that, but until then, we're gonna go out, we're gonna talk to. We talked to some of the guys after the event here, workout five. See what their thoughts were, see how they thought they performed, and you know what their thoughts were in the middle of that. Then after we talked to them, it's time for the ladies to get. To get the show on the road. Wrap this thing up. So, ladies are on deck. Let's go check them out. And check back when workout five concludes.

I've been rocking 101 pounds for about the last two weeks almost daily. So I knew I could do 45, 50 pounds as fast as I could, and I knew I could do 100 pound on my shoulders all the way.

Here for the second round. And I was proud of myself.

I knew I could do whole ass at the end. So what I did is when went back through the sled on my back of the 45, ran it to the bag, switched, threw it on the ground, grabbed it through the bag of my back and ran. I made up time. Tall man over here, put it around his waist, had the sandbag on the sled and was going like that. Which that just was not working for my body, was like, don't do that.

Yeah, I bowled everything down to the.

Bottom of the hill. And then from there I brought the 45 pound weight and the water jug, and then I ran back for the sandbag and this empty sled. So I just put the sandbag on my back and pulled the sledding.

Insane.

Workout number five brought you by lone wolf. Three, two, one.

Sa.

The way through.

All right, so workout five just concluded with the females. Whoa. That's how you finish fight. That's how you finish, baby.

Can we talk about someone deciding to pull a MJ flu game? Oh, my God. Like food poisoning. What, dude. Showing out with the best shots. Showing out with the best time by a mile.

Out there on the course, Brit May, she was locked, crushed in.

Yes.

Absolutely lost.

Literally as she was leaving, grabbing the gear, is yelling at us, do I have everything? Because she wasn't coming back.

No, she was done.

She was crazy.

All right, so workout five went Brit, Mel, Lacey, Tiff, Abby, Sam, Ashley, Gabby, Denika. To wrap up workout, Give it up.

To all the females out there because honestly, they all absolutely crushed it. What were the final. What were the final standings? Is that a number enough for Brit?

I don't know. Because the top three after workout four still finished top three in workout five. So before workout five, we had Lacy, Mel, Britt.

Yeah.

After workout five, just for workout five, we had Brit, Mel, Lacey.

So where is Brit gonna be at now after this?

What's the time difference? What's the time? I'm stoked. We need to get to this ceremony. AC stop. Because I want to know for sure.

All right, so we're going to send all the. Everything's going in right now. It's getting computed. All the scores are getting added up, and we're going to crown a champion here in just a second. So stay tuned to that. But shout out to our sponsor, Lone wolf backpack workout five. That was a great element to add it into there. So we'll follow up. We're going to go add these up and we'll wrap it up. Let's roll.

What an absolutely electric weekend. I just gotta say, y' all are absolute savages. It was an insane weekend. So good highs and lows. However, there's gotta be one winner. So to lead things off with the women's third place finisher, who we got?

I am so dang proud to announce the third place winner, Britt Mace.

Rolling right into the guys. In third place, we've got Justin Rhodes.

Women's second.

Let's give it up for Melanie Cooper.

In second place. Separating him out by 211 seconds, we got Luke Parker.

Absolute.

Monster.

This girl just blew me out of the water. I mean, she blew everybody out of the water. And from my understanding, she picked up a bow.

That would be seven, eight months ago.

Yeah. And absolutely crushed it. Let's give it up for Lacey.

Great job. Great job.

All right, y'. All.

Someone who couldn't let his wife show him up because of the fact that his wife actually won a competition back home yesterday. The Florida man, Kyle Herbers.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Great job, dude. You earned every bit of it, dude.

Every bit of it.

Quick one. Go.

Quick one.

And our team, 2024 first form outdoors games, wraps up with Kyle Herbers and Lacy Zielinski on top. Give it up for him.

All right, squad, an incredible two days here at the 2024 first form outdoor Games. We just got everything squared away, wrapped up. I'm going to kick it to my man AJ you tell us who our grand prize winners were.

I mean, listen, we've got a little separation between the guys and the girls. The guys were separated by seconds. This is where archery comes into it. Okay, so Kyle herbers won by 21 seconds. If he. If he doesn't hit that bison. Second place.

Second place.

Second place. Crazy. And then you got Justin Rhodes in third place. Was only out of the winning spot by basically three minutes. So if Kyle makes three bad shots or Justin makes four or five better shots, it's a completely different dynamic. I. I don't think people realize five workouts and it all came down to 21 seconds.

That's insane.

That's nice.

That's insane.

Kyle Herbert takes down first prize, $10,000, and champion of the 2024 first form outdoor games, followed by Luke Parker in second place and Justin Rhodes in third. And now just the females. Who is our champion on the female side?

I mean, this girl, it blew me out of the water. I mean, she just. She just got a bow right before the November knockdown challenge. It is Lacy Zelinski. I mean, she crushed it out there. And she came up to me, too, and she's like, I don't think I shot good enough. I don't think I shot good enough. Evidently.

Well, guess what?

She crushed it. She crushed it.

I mean, she got out early. I think she was our first place leader by workout1.

And rolled her ankle. Right.

And never looked.

Never looked back. Never looked back. Same thing with Cal, though. Kyle never looked back either. No, he was cruising both of them.

No.

Lacey Zelinski, our $10,000 2024 first form outdoor games win on the female side, followed by number two, Melanie Hooper, also had a super strong showing. And then Britt Mace, number three spot, thought she might have took it. You know, she made a strong run with at the workout 5. And it was close. It was close. But that was our top three on the female sides, a lot of great action. Such a great event here on the. On the Frisella family farm, and looking forward to that. We're going to bring them on. Talk to our winners here momentarily, so stick around for that. All right. We are joined by 2024 First Form Outdoors Games winner, champion Lacey Zelinski. She's a little winded from the. From the couple days.

Yeah.

Yeah. Great experience for you, though. But, Lacy, how are you feeling now that. When. When you know. Now that you know that you're the champion and that. That moment when your name was called, what were your thoughts at that point in time?

Honestly, was not expecting it at all. That was crazy. A lot of stiff competition. Those girls are insane. But it's really because of them that I pushed so hard this weekend, you know, always chasing somebody down.

So.

Yeah, and you were up there. I mean, do the whole. Entire. The whole entire weekend. Like, you were, like, in the top three, basically, after every workout. So you were doing something right. You were putting it all out there on the line. Your shooting was. Was. Well, as well, which is, you know, great for that aspect. But how. What are your thoughts of, like, just the workouts themselves? Like, what did you think that you excelled in? What did you feel like that you maybe could have been a little bit better in. Or. Or just your overall opinion of the workouts and how that shook up.

Oh, man, it was just. I mean, every workout was so different, but super high endurance heart rate, like, if you. You couldn't move, you couldn't run. Like, you couldn't stop. If you stop, you. You were done. Workout one was my least favorite.

Really?

That was my least favorite. I was so happy when that was over. I mean, it was a combination. The ankle roll right in round one, and then I had to finish the last two. But it was just a longer workout, too. It was grunt work. They all were really hard, though. It was a really good test of.

Yeah, we had been following that. That ankle and figuring out how that was going to play in effect, and clearly it didn't matter much.

Not much at all.

No.

The rest of that workout, as long as it stayed loose, it was good. It was really bad this morning, but we taped it up and we did what we could.

Yo, we had heard that you had started with just regular basic tape, and by the end of it, you almost had an entire football cleat taped up on it.

Yeah.

Yeah. She's big right now. She's not happy, but that's all right.

We'll remember, too, through the Grapevine. Your first time picking up a bow? When was that?

Well, okay, so I actually shot when I was 12. I did make it to state. Put it down after I placed third at state at 12 years old and picked it up 20 years later.

Muscle memory.

It was good.

It was a fun time.

That's really cool. Congratulations.

Thank you.

I appreciate it.

Well, I see appreciate the chat with you. Great work this weekend. It was awesome to watch you guys compete yourself specifically. And you know, winners win. So you get. You get the bragging rides for a year. Come back, defend your crown and you know, we look forward to seeing, seeing you next year. Enjoy your big check. Hopefully you can make that back to South Dakota with you.

Thank you, guys.

Our champion for the 2024 First Form Outdoor Games.

All right, now we are joined by the male winner. Kyle Herbert's a $10,000 cash prize winner. Champion of the 2024 first form out Outdoor Games. Kyle, how we feel? I can tell you one thing, you smell super, right?

I can smell myself, so I know I smell super, right? Yeah, it's pretty bad.

What are your. What are your thoughts? What are your feelings? Champion of the 2024 First Form Outdoor Games. Kyle, how we feel? I can tell you one thing, you smell super, right?

I can smell myself, so I know I smell super, right? Yeah, it's pretty bad.

What are your. What are your thoughts? What your feelings now that you've been crowned champion and then you kind of wrapped up on top of the podium.

There, man, it's surreal. Still hard to believe, right? I mean, I was competing now that.

You'Ve been crowned champion and then you kind of wrapped up on top of the podium there, man.

It's surreal. So hard to believe, right? I mean, I was competing against some freaking studs, right? I mean, not against some freaking studs, right? I mean, not out of the 10 guys that made it, me being one of them. I mean, some of them, two of them, them were CrossFit, professional CrossFit athletes, right? So, I mean, some of these guys are freaking up there with their fitness level, me being old guy. 37 years out of the 10 guys that made it. Me being one of them. I mean, some of them, two of them were CrossFit, professional CrossFit athletes.

Right.

So I mean, some of these guys are freaking up there with their fitness level. Me being old guy, 37 years old, coming out there, not only being able to hang, but actually able to. To outperform them a little bit.

I look like him at 37.

Crazy.

Like you're about 47.

Yeah, exactly. That's what I'm saying.

And then in the. On the male comp, like it was so close. I don't know if you notice, but you won by basically 20 seconds, which if you recall, I'm sure you do with the iron buckle coming out there.

Not only being able to hang, but actually able to outperform them a little bit.

Look like him at 37.

You're about 47.

Yeah, exactly. That's what I'm saying.

And then in the on the male Compton, like it was so close.

Oh, yeah.

Into first place was that just clutch shot. You're the only one to hit the iron bison out there. But just what are your overall thoughts of the competition? The workout specifically? What workouts you think that you were kind of your favorites. Which ones you thought were kind of tough? Which ones gave you some. Some difficulties? Kind of explain the workouts in general. I don't know if you notice, but you won by basically 20 seconds, which if you recall, I'm sure you do with the iron.

Well, my favorite would be the first one this morning, the trail run and everything. I mean, the whole reason, the whole reason is you.

Can't do that in a normal gym.

Right?

You can only do it in this setting. You can only do what we do did on a piece like this. Right. So it can't be replicated. I mean, you can try to replicate it, but you're not going to be able to replicate it. So how it all evolved, how it all turned out, turned out. I mean, it was awesome.

I mean, I died well into first place. Was that just clutch shot. You're the only one to hit the iron bison out there. But just what are your overall thoughts of the competition? The workout specifically? What workouts do you think that you were kind of your.

It needs to be said that with workout one this morning, workout four in total favorites.

Which ones you thought were kind of tough? Which ones gave you some. Some difficulties? Kind of explain the workouts in general.

You and Luke, the second place finisher, were pushed neck and neck with each other. And so give us, give us a run through with how that played out with you and him snaking through that course.

Well, until we got to the devil presses. And, I mean, he smoked. Well, my favorite would be the first one this morning, really? The trail run and everything. I mean, the whole reason is you can't do that in a normal gym, right? You can only do it in this setting. You can only do what we did to me on those. I mean, it was literally we were just passing each other, and, I mean, I was giving him a little bit of grief about this earlier, but we were going up one of the first inclines, and he slips in his ass just right in my face, and I just push him. I'm just like, dude, I'm just gonna help you. Not like I could really get around them too fast. So I just push him, help him up on a piece like this. Right. So it can't be replicated. I mean, you can try to replicate it, but you're not gonna be able to replicate it. Couple. A couple more inclines later, I slip.

I eat it.

He just goes around me, and I'm.

Like.

So how it all evolved, how it all turned out, turned out. I mean, it was awesome. I mean, I died well, bro.

I was like, bro.

I didn't.

I didn't think about it at the time. At the time, I was like, it's whatever, right? I mean, It's. It's competition.

I.

100. I get it.

So, yeah.

And I mean, it's not like he pushed me down and then ran like a mile ahead of me. I mean, he was still right there.

I mean, at that point here. And. And it needs to be said that with workout one this morning, workout four in total, you and Luke, the second place finisher, were pushed neck and neck with each other. And so give us. Give us a run through with how that played out with you and him snaking through that course.

Well, until we got to the devil presses. And I mean, he's smoking survival mode right now. Personally, I wanted him ahead of me. I don't. I don't want to lead him. I wanted to chase him. So it was a little nice, especially with his fitness level and how fit he is. I'd rather chase him than have him feel like he's pushing me. Yeah, so. So that's kind of what it was. I mean, but then once we got the double presses, I was. I was like, okay. I was like, I'll just let you go. I'm gonna look me on those. I mean, it was. It was literally we were just passing each other And, I mean, I was giving them. I was giving a little bit of grief about this earlier, but we were going up one of the first inclines, and he slips, and his. His ass just right in my face. Lay here for three seconds to do a rep. Lay here for three seconds to do a rep. But it was cool competing against him in that one.

Was it nice knowing last night that you were in the. The lead going into day two?

No, absolutely not. You got big. You're right.

Right?

I mean, I walk up this morning, and I forget who. The first one of the female competitors I saw, like, the first thing she said to me was like, oh, you're killing it.

Way to go.

Keep it up. I'm like, no, no, no, no. And I just push him. I'm just like, dude, I'm just gonna help you. Not, like, I could really get around him too fast. So I just push him, help him up.

A couple.

A couple more inclines later, I slip.

I eat it.

He just goes around me, and I'm like.

Anything. Don't say anything. I was like, I'm just here to have fun. And, like, that was one thing my wife told me before I left. She's like, just have fun with it. And she knows how competitive I am. I'm like, I don't. I don't know know what you're talking about. I go, what does that mean? But, like, what I learned about myself this weekend is you can still be super competitive but still have fun with it. Right? Right. So, I mean, which kind of gets you, bro.

I was like, bro. So you took that to heart and you said, no, I didn't. I didn't.

I didn't think about it at the time. At the time, I was like, it's whatever, right? I mean, It's. It's competition. I. 100. I get it.

So, yeah.

And, I mean, it's not like he.

Pushed me to the root of first form outdoors for sure.

Exactly. So it's like, I made. I made a lot of friends this weekend that, like, I can consider someone who I could see in my life the rest of my life.

Yeah.

So, like, down and then ran, like, a mile ahead of me. I mean, he was still right there.

I mean, at that point, you're.

But then once that three, two, one goes, it's like, you're my competitor. But, like, even on field, like I said with Luke, how I push him up the hill. But I mean, like, even as we're going, I mean, it's still like, yes, I wanted to beat him. But at the same time, I was like, I still respected him as a competitor, and now I still wanted to be, like, right there, next survival mode right now. Personally, I wanted him ahead of me. I don't. I don't want to lead him.

I like to chase.

I wanted to chase him. So it was a little nicer, especially with his fitness level and how to him. And, like, I think it's. Like I said before, I just felt like it was a surreal moment that I was getting competing and hanging with these really fake guys.

Yeah.

So we also heard, too, that you had to. You had to get a new pair of shoes for today.

Dude, that was wild. I'm glad you brought that up.

He is. I'd rather chase him than have him feel like he's pushing me.

Yeah.

Yeah. So. So that's kind of what it was. I mean, but then once we got the double presses, I was. I was like, okay. I was like, I'll just let you go.

I'm gonna break it down.

So you want to hear a funny story? Story. Jeff Cordero, who won it last year? Yeah. Send me a message about two weeks ago. Hey, man, it's gonna be a lot of running. Get some trail shoes. And I'm like, I don't need no trail shoes. I'm not gonna listen to a forward chain. Right, right, right. So I was like, I'm just gonna wear my mesh nobles that were already falling apart out here in the mud and terrain. And so I got back to the hotel, lay here for three seconds to do a rep. Lay your three seconds to a rep. But it was cool competing against him in that one.

Was it nice knowing last night that you were in the. The lead going into day two?

No.

Absolutely not. Yeah.

Big.

You're right. I mean, I walk up this morning, and I forget who the first one of the female competitors. Last night, I pulled him out. I want to go, like, dry them out and wash them out. And I'm, like. Stuck my hand right through the side of the shoe, and I was like, oh, no. And I was gonna meet Justin and Luke for dinner last night. I texted both. I was like, I'm going to bass. I saw, like, the first thing she said to me was, like, oh, you're killing it.

Way to go.

Keep it up. I'm like, no, no, no, no. I'm like, those shops. I need. I need to get a new pair of shoes. So luckily enough, I. I went in there, and I found a decent pair of shoes. And, I mean, they work flawlessly.

I'm Evidently.

Yeah. Yeah.

I sent my wife a picture of them. She was like, are those for your hunt in two weeks? I was like, no. I was like, maybe they might be all right. I was like, no. I was like, well, anything. Don't say anything. I was like, I'm just here to have fun. And, like, that was one thing my wife told me before I left. She's like, just have fun with it. And she knows how competitive I am. I'm like, if I win, I'm like, they're kind of free. I was like, so I don't. I don't know what you're talking about. I go, what does that mean? But, like, what I learned about myself this weekend is you can still be super. Right? Right. It's still. All right.

We're still up, I think.

I think. I believe that's called an investment.

Right? Exactly. Exactly. Almost a tax write off.

Yeah.

You got any big plans to use for the big check off the bat?

To be honest with you, no. I didn't think I'd be in this position.

Yeah.

We're competitive, but still have fun with it.

Yeah.

Right, Right. So, I mean, which kind of gets. I mean, I felt like I had the capability, but knowing the guys I was going against, I mean, everyone. They made it here is fit and they can shoot.

Yeah. Right.

So I didn't know how I stacked up and, I mean, to the root.

Of first form outdoors for sure.

Exactly. So it's like, I made. I made a lot of friends this weekend that, like, I can consider someone who I could see in my life, the rest of my life.

Yeah.

So, like. But then once that three, two, one goes, it's like, you're my competitor. But, like, even on field, like I said with Luke, how I put. I know that I had guys like Luke and Justin who compete on a very high level in fitness, so I know I was going against them. So for me, like, I. I sent my text to my mom last night, I was like, yeah. I was like, the results will be out tonight. I'm probably like, third or fifth. They came out and I said to myself, I go, oh.

Wish them up the hill. But I mean, like, even as we're going, I mean, it's still like.

Yeah.

I was like, well, I'm not sleeping at night.

Little bit of fire, right?

So, I mean, to answer your question, no.

Yeah.

I mean, I'm still. It's still processing that. I'm actually sitting here doing this interview with you guys. I mean, it's just so cool, man. It's it's really awesome.

Well, and. And you had mentioned that your wife is going to let you come home now because you won.

She mentioned that after I won. So I don't. I wanted to beat him, but at the same time, I was like, I still respected him as a competitor now. I still still wanted to be, like, right there next to him. And like, I think it's like I said before, I just felt like it was a surreal moment that I was competing and hanging with these really fake guys.

Yeah.

No.

What would have happened if I didn't win?

So, yeah, she's gonna let me come home now. Incredible.

Yeah. Well, it's awesome watching you compete, Kyle. We're excited. Hopefully. Hopefully you come back next year, defend the crown. Now you're the second annual champ.

So we also heard, too, that you had to. To. You had to get a new pair of shoes for today.

Dude, that was wild. I'm glad you brought that up.

You and. You and Jeff, the only ones that.

Have won make it down.

So you want to hear a funny story? Jeff Cordero, who won it last year. Yeah. Sent me a message about two weeks ago.

The outdoor game so far. So let's put you in the.

I don't know.

The positions might switch. He might make it an. I don't. So I'm giving him advice.

Wear, like, sandals.

Yes, exactly. Just do a barefoot, bro. Yeah. Yeah.

All right, Kyle.

Hey, man, it's gonna be a lot of running. Get some trail shoes. And I'm like, I don't need no trail shoes. I'm not gonna listen to a forward champion. Right. So. Right. So I was like, I'm just gonna wear my mesh nobles that were already falling.

Congratulations on the 2024 outdoor games champion.

Crown on a part out here in the mud and terrain. And so I got back to the.

Hotel in the cash prize. Look forward to seeing you soon and continue training, continue hunting, shooting, all that good stuff.

And I appreciate you guys for putting this on. I mean, it's been an awesome event.

It's actually 10 commission for me, so you can take.

You can cut me one of those before you leave. We'll be able to be square right off the top. Yeah, absolutely. All right, brother.

See you.

Good stuff.

Appreciate it.

Last night, I pulled him out. I want to go, like, dry them out and wash them out. And I'm like. Stuck my hand right through the side of the shoe, and I was like, oh, no. And I was going to meet Justin and Luke for dinner last night. I texted both. I was like, I'm going to basketball.

All right, so that's a wrap for the 2024 First Form Outdoors Games. Incredible competition all around, great vibes, great to see how it all played out and want to shout out to our sponsors that, you know, helped put this event on. Appreciate you guys, pro shops.

I need, I need to get a new pair of shoes. So luckily enough, I, I went in.

Everybody involved is great answer. Any closing thoughts from any of you guys?

Yeah, So, I mean, you know, my final thought with all of this is these guys and girls are absolute animals. We've saw, we saw an exponential increase from year one to year two with.

Open there, and I found a decent pair of shoes and I mean, they.

Work flawlessly over 2,000 thousand competitors. I'm just super excited to see what year three brings. So that's my final thought.

I'm evidently.

Yeah. Yeah.

I sent my wife a picture of them. She was like, are those for your hunt in two weeks? I was like, no. I was like, maybe they might be all right. I was like, no.

I was like, well, I mean, I. You literally stole my thought. Because I could not completely agree more.

I mean, if I win, I'm like, they're. They're kind of free.

I was like, to see the heat that was brought by both competitors and to see it grow, I mean, we had a women's division this time. That is huge. How many women just straight kicked butt out there? It was just incredible. I mean, as coming from a female hunter and just seeing these women crush it. I am so proud. Like, that was, that was rad.

I'm excited about 2025. I'm excited about 2025. There's no way.

Right, right. It's still all right.

We're still up.

I think that's.

I think, I believe that's called an investment.

Right, Exactly.

Right, exactly. Exactly. Almost a tax write off.

Yeah.

That was wild.

And where the first form outdoor games go to. What's going to be new next year? Are we going to see some new faces? Are we going to see some old.

You got any big plans to use for the big check off the bat?

To be honest with you, no. I didn't think I'd be in this position.

Faces like, is this the beginning of a dynasty here? Is it going to be the Lacy Zielinski's, the Cal Hubers? Is it going to be the Jeff Corderos? Like, is this the beginning of something special out here?

I mean, I felt like I had the capability, but knowing the guys I was going against, I mean, everyone that made it here is.

I'm really excited about it.
