This WOD wasn’t hard till I got to the backward pulls, we don’t have a sled but we had a tire with rope acahtted so we loaded it up with three 45lb plates. Pulling a rubber tire against concrete was a bad idea, no give at all and this crashed me. Anyways, Each round consisted of pushing my friends Toyota 4Runner 100ft, 400lb tire flip for 100ft, and a backward sled pull of 135lbs. My times were Rd 1 3:22, Rd 2 3:36 and Rd 3 was 3:55. I’ll post the link to the video when it’s finished uploading. You’ll see the tire drag was very tough for me. I love these WOD’s though so keep them coming. First, make sure your training hard Rob I’d love to see you on that podium at the 2011 CrossFit Games!!! Congrats on the M&F article too, finally picked up a copy.

Biking fast exerts air-resistance.
Biking fast behind a big rig has little air-resistance thus less exhaustive effort thus conserving energy.
That’s why in a bike race; front racers are more tired than racers behind them.
Racers in front are slammed more by the air in front of them; thus creating drag currents where next racers get added speed in their efforts.
Same with the birds: By making a “V” formation, they lessen air resistance and can fly longer, faster, higher.

I just saw this episode as an old re-run for the first time, and noticed the very same thing. Yep, if the speedometer said 40 mph, the tire was spinning at 80 mph. So I came to this site to see if anyone else noticed. Apparently we can excuse the Mythbusters for not understanding how a differential works since only one other person has pointed out the error.

I have had virgin tires and recap/retread tires fail on my rig and both produced the same damaging outcome. I think you should reword or rethink your post. Recap tires arent more susceptible to failure than the virgin counterpart.

Good point… but they were testing whether K.I.T.T. could have done it. K.I.T.T. had an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, so that’s exactly what they used.
