Memorial Day Challenge

I know Memorial Day is still more than a month away (28 May 07), but I wanted to get this up and out there so those that are interested can start to plan.

CrossFit Orange County is sponsoring a Memorial Day Challenge to send cooling vest to the deployed troops in OEF/OIF. You can read about it on their website.

The basics:

1. Teams are composed of four members, $40.00 each entry fee ($160.00 per team).

2. Register through Active.com or mail in to CrossFit Orange County and save on the $10.00 fee that Active.com charges.

3. Only two team members are allowed to exercise at any time.

4. The workload is 300 pullups, 400 pushups, 500 situps and 600 air squats done ala "Angie", meaning all pullups have to be complete before moving onto pushups, etc. CrossFit HQ has a video posted of a team of trainers doing the workout. It'll give you an idea. Click here.

I'd like to have CrossFit Clarksville represent, especially since we're tied to the Fort Campbell community. We also want to video each team (if we get more than one) as they do it. If we have a large turn-out, we might all meet on post (more pullup bars), if not then it'll be here.

If you're interested, get in touch with us and we'll start working on the details. As we get more info we'll be sure to update our site.
