2010-09-25 Fight Gone Bad 5 Fundraiser/WOD

We’ve raised over $3,500!  “Thank you” to those competing and to our donators!

The Boneyard will open at 9:00 a.m. Those competing need to be there no later than 9:30 a.m. to warm up. If you are not a CrossFit Montgomery member, please arrive between 9:00 and 9:30 a.m. so you can warm up and review the exercises with a trainer.

When you arrive, go to the registration table to check in, get your name tags and receive instructions. The “Hello, my name is” name tag is for you and the tags with a gold border are for the names of the persons you are honoring. Place your tags on the back, front, or sleeves of your shirt. There will also be a place on one of our whiteboards where you can write the names of the honorees on the board. FYI – The workouts will be recorded and we’ve hired a photographer.

The Fundraiser kicks off at 10 a.m. We have more than 24 competitors who have signed up to compete! We will have two sets of heats (one heat consists of 5 competitors) going at the same time. Each competitor will be partnered with another competitior. When one is working out, the other is counting reps and cheering for him/her. We will have clip boards and paper for the counter.

The first two heats will begin no later than 10:30 a.m. Everyone is beginning the workout at the wall ball station. We will be calling “rotate” at each station when there is 5 seconds left on the clock. We will have designated on-deck and rest areas. Your towel and water bottle will remain in these area at all times. When the 17 minutes is up, the counter will give the designated person(s) their clipboard. The designated person(s) will calculate the reps and place the scores on one of our whiteboards.

Prizes will be given to the top competitors. Integrity…that is all we are going to say with regard to counting good reps, whether they are yours or someone else’s reps. You know what is a good rep and what doesn’t count. If you don’t know, we’ll cover it with you tomorrow.

We will have apples, bananas, and water (and stretching!) for you to have after the workout. Be sure to hydrate before and after. The prescription for water is half your bodyweight in ounces per day plus an additional 16 ounces for every one hour of physical activity.

It’s not too late to donate! We will be accepting cash and check at the fundraiser. You may also donate online using Rapid Giving. You have until October 1 to donate.

Contact us if you have any questions or concerns. Good luck to the competitors!
