Workout for Charity

For the last three years, Crossfit affiliates hold a Athlete’s for a Cure event where they do Fight Gone Bad. The money raised goes to fight Prostate Cancer and the Wounded Warrior Project. Yesterday, I joined crossfitters from several of the Houston area Crossfit Affiliates for the event. Bayou City Crossfit, Crossfit Houston, Crossfit Katy, Crossfit Sugarland, all joined with the event’s host Crossfit Breakaway Speed.
Fight Gone Bad is a workout originally designed for BJ Penn to mimic MMA fight. It is three 5 minute rounds where you spend 1 minute at 5 different exercise stations on the call of rotate you move to the next station as quickly as possible. The score is based on number of reps of each exercise and the number of calories on the C2 Rower. The five exercises as prescribed are:
Wall Ball 20# (squat and throw 20# dynamax med ball to a 10 ft target)
Sumo Deadlift High Pull 75 lbs
Box Jump 20"
Push Press 75 lbs
C2 Rower
My total score was 278. I started on fire with the first round. My round totals were 112, 85, 87. I died the second round and just couldn’t recover. I want to get to 300 in this workout. It was fun time hanging with the people from all over Houston.

"Nicole"

Today I did the Crossfit workout Nicole. I really liked this one as it is 20 minutes as many rounds as possible of 400m run and Pull Ups. Here are my stats from the workout:
7 Rounds Pull up numbers below:
Round 1 10
Round 2 9
Round 3 8
Round 4 7
Round 5 8
Round 6 8
Round 7 7
Around round 4 I was able to groove in my kip somewhat. I was tired but concentrated on pushing away from the bar at the top. I was able to string together all the kips pull ups without an extra swing which was pretty cool.

5k for time and maybe "Grace" later

I may do a CF two a day today. Still deciding, I did today’s WOD of the 5k, mainly because I need to do a long run on Sunday. This is why I may do "Grace" this evening, just because it seems like fun.

Anyway, my 5k time was pretty decent. I ran it in 21:55. That is a 7 something mile. I was pushing my son.

Big Girl Fran

Yesterday I did the infamous CF workout "Fran". However, as I am trying to get to a time of under 6 minutes I did with a heavier weight then prescribed. I knew doing this that my time would suffer for this workout, but will become more powerful for the next time.

My PR for "Fran" is 6:33 set last month at the Crossfit Level 1 Certification at GSX. With the heavier weight of 105 yesteday, my time was 9:20.

CF "Michael"

The weather this week has been awesome in the high 70's to low 80's. It is great for outdoor workouts. The beauty of CF workouts is that they can be done anywhere.

50 Sit Ups
50 Back Ext

I have done it two other times before for time. In June, I did it by myself, not pushing my son in the jogging stroller. My time was 18:53. In July, I did it while pushing my son in the jogging stroller, my time was 19:53. This time, I pushed my son again, but my time was 18:33.
