Running the gauntlet

FGB, baby!

It's that time of year again! Time, that is, for the annual CrossFit-affiliate-wide Fight Gone Bad event and fundraiser to raise money for prostate cancer research and for the Wounded Warrior Project.

Fight Gone Bad is a classic CrossFit workout consisting of five exercises (row, wall ball, sumo deadlift high pull, box jump, push press) performed for one-minute intervals each. Rest for one-minute, and then repeat for a total of three rounds. Calculate your score by adding up the number of reps of each exercise completed.

All CrossFitters are welcome to participate. There are four categories you can enter in, with weights scaled to accommodate all abilities. You just need to register online before September 24 to be on the CFES team.

Just the facts:

-When: 10:00 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 27, 2008
-Where: CrossFit Eastside (and hundreds of participating affiliates throughout the world)
-How: Register by 9/24/08, and collect pledges
-What: Rules and classes for the event are here
-What else: FAQs

Odd object lifting has been used for centuries to test the strength, might, and determination of man. It's irresistible.
