CrossFit for HOPE Fundraiser and Potluck - Saturday 6/9 at 9:30am

“No child should die in the dawn of life”

 

This year, CrossFit 9 will be participating in headquarters CrossFit for Hope fundraising event to raise funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. 100% of the proceeds will actually be going to the hospital. Our goal is to raise $3000. Let's make it happen!

This event will be on Saturday, June 9th and run from 9:30am - 1pm. Please bring friends or family members for our special "guest heat" that will take place after all registered participants are finished. Festivities will also include prizes (best performance and most money raised) and an after-party potluck!! The potluck sign-up is on the box's bulletin board.

The Workout - HOPE

"Hope" has the same format as Fight Gone Bad. In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of "rotate," the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep. The stations are:

Burpees
75 pound Power snatch
Box jump, 24" box
75 pound Thruster
Chest to bar Pull-ups 

How To Participate

To compete in the workout and raise money for charity, participants should:

• Register at http://hope.crossfit.com.
• To receive a t-shirt, raise $300 or more in pledges

Note: We will not be holding our regularly scheduled 7:30am and 8:30am WODs. Instead, we encourage everyone to participate in this fun and meaningful event!

Team Challenge Update: AND THE WINNERS ARE....

... TEAM BOX BRAWLERS!!!

 

It is too bad that we could only pick one winning team because everyone did such an amazing job!  The results were VERY close, so much so that Team BOA and Team Steve tied for 2nd, while Team WODkillas were only a few points behind.

 

We hope that everyone had a good time challenging themselves while competing against boxmates for a smallprize. More importantly, we hope everyone enjoyed the camaraderie and energy that came along with the challenge. It was motivating and rewarding in so many ways. We plan on scheduling another challenge soon and are open to any feedback or suggestions you may have.

Team Challenge Update: Week 3 WOD Results!

 

WE ARE ALMOST AT THE FINISH LINE! We only have 6 days of the challenge remaining! Remember, our final weigh-in and team WOD is SUNDAY at 9:30am and the winning team gets to split the pot of cash! Make these last couple of days count!

Now, for the cumulative number of workout results from both weeks 1, 2, 3...

1st Pace: Team Box Brawlers
2nd Place: Team WODkillas
3rd Place: Team BOA
4rd Place: Team Steve

Scoring

 1. The total number of workouts completed - Come in to CF9 for daily WODs and log your times on the website (your team captains will be keeping track from those posts). Also, you don't have to come into the box for a WOD to count. Just be sure to post details on the website. Only 1 WOD per day and 6 WODs per week can count toward your score.

2. BMI improvement

3. Team workout performance improvement

Team WODs

Stay tuned for emails from your team captains for upcoming team workouts just for challenge participants. These will be optional, but should be a great time.  Some will be with the entire challenge crew, others might just be for your individual teams.
