'Be sure to avoid these errors and use these tips to score big points in your #ACFT.  Making a few simple mistakes can cost you the score that you deserve.  #1 Know your 3 rep max deadlift prior to the event.  Train with a coach.    #2 Know the standards of the Hanging Leg Tuck - Elbows to Knees (or thighs).  Work on your pulling strength.  It is not good enough to touch your knees to your triceps.  #3 Max Air for Max Points on the Standing Power Throw - video tape yourself and practice your release timing.  #4 Know your 2-mile running pace.  Practice and time your 2-mile event.  Lern to run at your event pace.  Do not run your first 1/2 mile too fast.  Instead, run your first 1/2 mile at the same pace that you plan to finish the event.  Practice at your target pace to improve your times.  #5 Train with Intensity.  High-intensity and CrossFit style workouts help to build power, agility, and sprint-speed strength.  Training for strength or endurance is not enough.'
