Many in the CrossFit community were affected by the tragic shootings at Fort Hood, but none as directly as one of our affiliates, Lumberjack Crossfit . Four members of that affiliate were killed.
CrossFit is launching a hero WOD fundraiser for our four fallen Soldiers. On December 5th, we are asking affiliates and individuals to do two things: participate in the workout (as a display of solidarity with Lumberjack CrossFit) and to reach out to family, friends, and strangers to donate whatever you can.
With the help of the CrossFit community, we can assist the men and women at Ft. Hood and Lumberjack CrossFit to raise money for the families of the fallen, and the future needs of the approximately 30 wounded.
The long-term needs of these families and the wounded are significant; many of the wounded are still in intensive care. Most will not fully recover from being shot multiple times at near point blank range with a .357.
Our community clearly has the ability and commitment to make a difference for these folks. Let’s turn out on the 5th and show our support by registering as a fundraiser now.
------------------------------------------
I'll be doing this Work out Saturday morning as Rx'd. I haven't run since August. But this work out is worth it.
Of course everyone is invited to participate in the WOD as well & of course any donations that could be made to help support the families that were affected by this tragedy would be beyond awesome.

Most of the time my posts are delayed it's because I either forgot to take a picture of the board or just don't have time to sit down at the computer. I've been staring at the results for the Work Out for the last two days trying to write them down. I wanted to say something meaningful about the Men and Women of Fort Hood. I don't have anything deep or insightful to say. But I am asking you to visit www.cflumberjack.org and donate. If that doesn't make a difference I don't know what will.

8:30AM and I was all alone. I was about to grab my gear and go do this with a couple of other friends when Mark and Cindy showed. The only reason they came? Because Jess talked them into it. And Jess sent me a txt msg mere moments later saying she was hung over and not making it. Then it took us almost 40 minutes to do the math on the bars and divide everyones bars up. We are off to a great start!
3-2-1 GO! The 275# Deadlifts weren't as bad as I thought they would be. But I was still the last person out on the run and Mark and Cindy just kept increasing the gap from there. KB Swings were nothing. The OHS definitely put a crimp in the time. If you asked me when I was done how long the took I'd say 5 minutes. But the Garmin begged to differ and said over 7 minutes. The only good part was Cindy doing them right there with me (most of the time.) Burpees, Pull-up and box jumps went as expected. The cleans at the end also might have taken a little longer than expected. Over all it was a terrific work out for a terrific cause.
