Fight Gone Bad: The Nuts and Bolts
Fight Gone Bad IV is a little over two weeks away: Saturday, Sept 26.
There have been a lot of questions about how it's all going to go down, so here in no particular order are some key points.
- We want as high a participation level as possible. Over the next week or so, we'll be coming around at the beginning of classes to sign you up for heats, and if needed, partner you up. Look for the clipboards!
- We'll be running heats from 9am to 3pm, adding additional heats where necessary. We have the capability of running multiple heats at the same time.
- We'll be having other affiliates doing FGB in our box as well...the more, the merrier! More people = more energy.
- We'll be having a barbecue and plenty of other food and drink.
- We do expect to raise money for the the two causes (Athletes for a Cure and the Wounded Warrior Project), and there are two ways you can go about that:
- You can pay a $25 buy-in fee.
- You can ask others to donate (this can be a flat amount or a per-point amount).
- If you raise $150, you get a t-shirt.
- And here's a document to read over if you're looking for some ways to raise funds: FGB Donation Tips (Word document)
And finally, the one thing you need to do before you do anything else:
Go here and register for Team CrossFit Oakland!
In the meantime, ask away with any questions about FGB IV in comments.

Will someone offer me their shoulder to cry on after I find out my FGB score?
How about a hug and a gallon of milk?
I would offer it but since my shoulder press is only ~150#, I fear I could not carry the load that is your grief...
Pienso que es la hora por helado, amigos. Por favor, necesito el producto, necesito helado por éxito en FGB cuatro. ¿Dónde está mi helado cuando lo necesito, Lau, arrebataste la comida que da me la capacidad hacer ejercicios?
Just to destroy Tom's fun, the translation:
I think it's time for ice cream, folks. Please, I need the product, I need ice for success in FGB four. Where is my ice cream when I need it, Lau, took away the food that gives me the ability to exercise?
Mike, I go on duty at work the 26th @ 8:00am. Is there anyway I could run though FGB @ the 6:00am workout? Please, I will be sure to give it my all:)
