Upcoming September and October Events:

- Saturday, September 22nd:


I think our participants are down to Brooke B, Mike C, Doug C, Craig C, Mindy and Randall C, Shawn C, Melissa, TK, and Alan I.  If I am missing anyone, let me know!

Our official Heat start time is 1:20 pm.  We are meeting at some Mohawk place at 1230, so be registered by then.  The site suggests 2 - 2.5 hours to park, shuttle, and register.  If you haven't got a room yet, better get on it, good luck. Mike has a room Saturday night, at River St Inn, anyone who wants to bring a sleeping bag and use the floor is welcome.  He and Doug plan on staying for the after party.  RSVP with Mike at madcow58@sbcglobal.net so we know everyone who will be there.  Are we going to wear a certain shirt/color?  Or just go as the ragtag group that we are?

For those who haven't participated, every October we host this fundraiser to raise money for BARBELLS FOR BOOBS ®, which is a 501(c)3 non-profit breast cancer organization whose mission is to provide funding through the MAMMOGRAMS IN ACTION ® GRANT PROGRAM for qualified low-income and uninsured women and men who need screening and/or diagnostic procedures in the prevention of breast cancer.

We complete the CrossFit Benchmark workout, "Grace", which is 30 Clean and Jerks for time, and raise a little bit of money.  We will have a BBQ that evening as well, so plan on coming by and inviting anyone who may want to assist in raising money for a great cause.
