Fundraising Event


Crossfit is more then just working out.. but a community of people supporting various charities.   This year, they opened their arms to benefit three: LIVESTRONG, Wounded Warrior Project and the CrossFit Foundation.

They do this by taking part in the Fight Gone Bad fundraising event, which is named after one of our benchmarks. Today, all the Crossfits around the country took part in this event by accepting donations.

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. We did this for 4 rounds even though you were asked to do 3. The stations are:

   1. Wall-ball: 20 pound ball, 10 ft target. (Reps)
   2. Sumo deadlift high-pull: 75 pounds (Reps)
   3. Box Jump: 20" box (Reps)
   4. Push-press: 75 pounds (Reps)
   5. Row: calories (Calories)

The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of "rotate," the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.  I completed 80, 50, 45, and 40 reps/calories for a total of 215 (i think).  I really sucked and can owe that to dying yesterday (Hard to workout as a ghost!)
