Please donate to the CrossFit Fight Gone Bad Fundraiser

As you may be aware, I have been diligently training for the CrossFit Fight Gone Bad event on Saturday, September 29. In addition, I am committed to supporting the Prostate Cancer Foundation in raising funds for prostate cancer research.

Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America, affecting one in six men. Men are 35% more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than women are to be diagnosed with breast cancer.

Athletes for a Cure, a program of the Prostate Cancer Foundation, is a fundraising and awareness program to assist individual athletes in their quest to raise money for better treatments and a cure for prostate cancer. The Prostate Cancer Foundation is the world’s largest philanthropic source of support for prostate cancer research with a simple, yet urgent goal: to find better treatments and a cure for recurrent prostate cancer.

I am dedicated to this race and hope that you will support me in reaching my fundraising goal.

Saturday - "Brendan" hehe. 22:58

I like to call this one "Brendan"....just a little inside joke.

10 rounds
10 deadlifts @95#
15 push ups

22:58

5 rounds in 9:33
8 rounds in 17:23 (hmmm methinks I might have lost a round there)

I think I kept a good pace. Tried to do all of hte deadlifts unbroken but had to regrip on about 3 sets.

Friday - Kenpo

Kenpo counts as a workout...!!

When you are agressive and work more than you rest.

We did kicks and kick block drills.

I had to go up with the line of white belts to do our basic moves. Need more practice.

eeeek. Performance anxiety.

Wednesday - Helen 13:30

Was not all in for the runs....heh.

Helen
3 rounds
run 400m
21 kb swings
12 pull ups

13:30

Last time was 13:42...needed to run much faster. I did the kb swings and pull ups unbroken.

Monday...CrossPit - Sprawl/Kick ladder workout

Warm up: Run 5 laps (1000M), first person in does 0 burpees, second person in does 5 burpees, third person in does 10 burpees, fourth person in does 15 burpees. As you finish your burpees stretch on your own.

I was 4th, so I had to do 15 burpees.

Skill: With a partner and focus mitts 1) Three advancing left straight punches, shuffle forward explosively, in fighting stance, step off line to left; 2) Right straight as you step off line to right; 3) 4 punches (any combination) in a forward explosive movement.

These were a good workout...moving constantly during the drills.

Skill: Pankration throw - so much fun!

Workout:
round #(x) on the minute for 15 minutes.
Each minute is one round.
x = Sprawl + R-Round kick + L-Round kick (on heavy bag)

In the first minute do one of x.
In the second minute do two of x...in the third minute do three of x...
Continue until you can no longer complete the required reps or for 15 minutes. If you can't make the number of reps in the minute, start laddering down each minute until the 15 minutes expires.

I got through the 10th round, got 10 on the 11th round, and laddered down 10,9,8,7 for the remaining minutes. That's 99 iterations!
