FIGHT GONE BAD IV

The Aftermath

CrossFit Redding would like to take a few moments to thank EVERYONE that helped make our first attempt at the Fight Gone Bad fundraiser a huge success.  

We were able to raise more than $3500.00  for Wounded Warrior Project and Athletes for a Cure.

We have learned a lot in the process over the past few weeks and we hope to double or triple our fundraising efforts for the 

2010 Fight Gone Bad V.

A special thanks to our top fundraisers:

Business - Win-River

Individual - Mike Hershey

Also, a big thanks to all of the vendors that participated 

and donated in some way:

The Ale House U-Top it

D&G Glassblowing Vintners Cellars

Great Outdoors Lollar Chiropractic

LaCabana Pasta Pronto

Sports LTD. Dutch Brothers

Safeway Angelos pizza

For Elyse Starbucks

Desert Sun Pages

and to those who bought T-Shirts in the past month to help support FGB4.

AND A HUGE THANKS TO ALL THE COMPETITORS

 who gave 100% effort to make it through the workout.

I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself? ~Yogi Berra

FGB 4

A quick post to say that we did it!
The Crew at CrossFit Redding stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the park!
As we figure the totals stay tuned for more...

A huge thank you to all of our sponsors and everyone who came out to support the Wounded Warrior Project and Athletes For a Cure.
A big thanks to all of out athletes who pushed their bodies to the max.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.  ~Author Unknown

Weapon = 6 x Burpee to 100m sprint.

TONIGHT:  Make sure you have everyone you know show up at The Ale House on Hilltop Dr. between 7pm and closing. They have been VERY gracious and are donating a portion of their proceeds for the night to our FIGHT GONE BAD fundraiser.  ALSO....Apparently they will have a limited edition 250yr anniversary GUINESS brew on-tap for all you lovers of Stout.

Bring some cash as there will be some Jello shots as well.  Also, a big raffle will be going on for some cool prizes (all of this $ will go towards FGB).

On Wednesday, we decided to do the Main Site WOD of Bodyweight Bench Press, Pull ups, and Bodyweight Back Squats.  It seemed as though it would be fun.  Well, it was fun....but in a painful way.  A LOT of people did A LOT of work on Wednesday. Check the whiteboard.

 Nice work everyone!

Mike on Bench Press with Rob helping.

Tara and Jerry were there with their babies.

Blessed are the flexible, for they won't get bent-out-of-shape.

ATTENTION:  There will be a get-together on THURSDAY NIGHT at 

The Ale House (2181 Hilltop Dr.) to help raise money for Fight Gone Bad.  The great people at The Ale House have been kind enough to donate a portion of Thursdays proceeds to the Fight Gone Bad Fundraiser.  Tell everyone you know to go to The Ale House on Thursday night starting around 7pm.  Let's fill that place up!

On Tuesday, we had some fun with heavy Pull-ups; 

then did a nice combo of.........

HANG CLEANS

Cubby with 185#.......Ouch!

and some MED-BALL SLAMS.

I held a moment in my hand, brilliant as a star, fragile as a flower; a tiny sliver of an hour.  I dripped it carelessly...Ah!  I didn't know,

I held opportunity!

Sunday was Michelle's birthday she turned... Wait we won't reveal that to the world.

Michelle Burpee's for joy.

Jason grabs a breath between squat cleans

Tara embraces the pregnant running experience.

Sandy added some pizzazz to her CFR Logo. I may be bias, but i liked just the CrossFit Redding Logo. Why mess with perfection?

Something the typical runner is severely lacking in!

TRAIN ALL aspects of fitness to become a BETTER ATHLETE!

and more useful in general!
