CrossFit for Hope



Today my box, CrossFit Hove, participated in the world-wide CrossFit fundraiser, CrossFit for Hope, which raised money for St. Jude's (supporting children with cancer).


The Hope workout is structured the same as Fight Gone Bad. Quite a gem in the CF world that one is. Besides some often necessary breaks for chucking (*cough Max*), FGB consists of 5 movements, each performed for 1 minute followed by a minute of rest (the 6th minute), then repeated for a total of 3 rounds. The score is the total number of movements for each round combined.


Hope consists of the below five thrilling movements.


1. Burpees
2. Snatches
3. Box jumps
4. Thrusters
5. C2B pullups






I helped Julie and Kat with the organization of this event at our box, so when I realized I put myself in the first heat with about 2 minutes to spare before the start, my warm-up became the first set of burpees for the first minute. I was rather occupied with the event itself, so did not put the focus I should have into the workout, but was pleased enough with my score of 242.
