How to split it
- The stronger puller starts and takes it past halfway, then the partner reels it home.
- Smooth, steady pulls beat frantic ones.
At Mixed loads the woman pulls the men's open sled, so the stronger puller usually takes more.
At Pro loads the sled is heavier and harder to restart, so take shorter turns.
Principles only. HyDoubles sets the exact blocks from both partners' benchmarks.
