This Fight Went Very Bad.....

I started out strong, on target in the first round. But the wall was HOT, and the medicine ball was HOT (burning fingers even), and despite good fluid intake all morning I think I was dehydrated.




In the second round I was dizzy and knew something was wrong. My first DNF. So embarressed. So dissapointed with myself.



I cooled down under the tent with water & ice. Then went back about 45 min later but this time at half-pace.



Kept to my plan for taking it easy (maybe too easy?) and only scored 188 . But I finished!



I did this in support of our military, active & reserve, retired & veterans, healthy & wounded, and in honor of those no longer with us. Too many are affected by this war on terror. I hope we can finish the job and get the rest of our troops HOME!

Thank you again to all who supported me, inspired me, and pushed me. I LOVE YOU.

Wounded Warrior Project - Fight Gone Bad 5

Reposting because I only have 1 more days fundraising!!!! 65% to my goal (and pumped to do a PR tomorrow).


Fight Gone Bad began as a fundraising event in 2006. From those humble beginnings and with the support of the CrossFit community, we’ve proven what a small, totally committed group of people can accomplish. The first four editions of Fight Gone Bad have raised a combined total of more than $2 million.

Why I'm Doing This: I discovered CrossFit when I was deployed to Balad, Iraq taking care of our wounded in the Air Force Theater Hospital (AFTH). The dedication of our medical team & the courage, strength and resolve of our military inspire me daily. They are the men & women who push me to be a better person and a better airman.

FGB5 takes place on Saturday, September 25, 2010. CrossFit Las Vegas will be setting up in front of the Whole Foods at Town Square on Las Vegas Blvd & Sunset. We start warming up at 1p. If you are in the area, please come out and cheer us on. We might even get local news coverage.

FGB is my favorite CrossFit Benchmark. My current PR score is 252 268. My goal for this event will be to score >275....and to raise at least $1000.
