2010 Christmas Can Cure 5K

Last year: 27:25
Training was mostly CrossFit and just a few "long" jogs to the Boulevard for brunch on a weekend morning.
This year: 26:00 (3rd place out of 10 in my age division) 8:22/mile pace

And I won a couple of the raffle prizes!

Every year, partnering with the Wounded Warrior Project, Christmas Can Cure provides selected veterans and their families a Christmas they won't soon forget: a Christmas vacation to either the picturesque New England town of Jackson, New Hampshire or the snow-capped peaks of Park City, Utah. Our goal is to provide the magic of Christmas for our defenders of peace and their families.

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.

In this workout we move from each of five stations after a minute. The event is in the 3 round format with one minute rest between rounds.
The stations for women are:
• Wall-ball: 14 pound ball, 8 ft target. (Reps)
• Sumo deadlift high-pull: 55 pounds (Reps)
• Box Jump: 20? box (Reps)
• Push-press: 55 pounds (Reps)
• Row: calories (Calories)

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.

2009 Christmas Can Cure 5K

Christmas Can Cure to benefit Wounded Warriors Project (Link)

Did this with 10 folks from CFLV.
27:25
Cold weather. Slight uphill the first mile, then flat for a mile, slight downgrade the third mile except the last 400m which was a relatively steep hill up around the park. I pushed the end, just to see how hard I could go at that point. Felt good to cross the finish line.

Breakfast at Egg Works afterwards. Very filling.
