Fight gone bad 5

On Saturday, September 25, 2010, CrossFit gyms around the world will be hosting the fifth annual Fight Gone Bad workout and fundraiser (to benefit the Livestrong and CrossFit Foundations and the Wounded Warrior Project). We've hosted the event here in past years, but this year, we'll all go over to Urban CrossFit in Seattle's Westlake neighborhood for the big event, to begin at 10:00am.  We'll also run FGB in the morning and evening classes on Wednesday Sept. 22, if you want to participate but can't make the Saturday time.

Here's what you need to do:

  • Sign up (teams or individuals) on the sign-up sheets at CFES by Wednesday, September 15, 2010.
  • Register online at http://fgb5.org by Wednesday, September 22, 2010.
  • Fundraise (If you raise $150 or more by 6am on Sunday, September 26, 2010, you get a FGB 5 t-shirt.

There are four weight classes, so everyone can play:

Class A: Standard Men = 75-lb push press and sumo deadlift high pull (SDHP), 20-lb wall ball, 20-inch box jump Class B: Modified Men/Standard Women = 55-lb push press and SDHP, 14-lb wall ball, 20-inch box jump Class C: Intermediate = 35-lb push press and SDHP, 8-lb wall ball, 20-inch box jump (step ups are ok) Class D: Beginner/Kids = 15-lb push press and SDHP, 4-lb wall ball (target can be lowered to 8 ft), 10-inch box jumps

Crossing the finish line

Victory

Catching air

For the fifth consecutive year, we sent a team of 22 to the Big Climb race up the 69 flights of stairs in Seattle's Columbia Tower. Team results aren't up yet, but the individual times and standings are here.

All conquered the stairs, had a good time, and raised over $2300 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Congratulations to all who participated, and thank you to all the donors who supported them.
