Hopefully you all are aware of the Fight Gone Bad 5 (FGB5) challenge that is taking place tomorrow. This challenge is in its 5th year and has continually grown in both number of participants and funds raised. All across the country CrossFit gyms will be performing the “Fight Gone Bad” Wod and this year we will be a part of the fun. Indy Shield will be hosting the challenge and we expect people from several Indy-area CF gyms to be there as well. All funds raised will benefit the Livestrong Foundation, the Wounded Warrior Project and the CrossFit Foundation. Check out the website for more info : http://www.fgb5.org
We want as many people as possible to come out to the challenge and so CrossFit Carmel will be closed on Saturday. There are modified divisions if you are unsure about being able to complete the wod, so don’t let that keep you from participating. Also, feel free to come watch and bring any other family or friends along – the more the better! We look forward to meeting people from the other local gyms and cheering one another on through a great wod.
Details for those participating/supporting:
-We will be meeting at CFC at 7:45am to load up some supplies so anyone that wants to carpool or caravan post here so we know you are coming and then be ON TIME.
-We plan to arrive at Indy Shield CrossFit b/t 8:15-8:30 to sign waivers and get warmed up
- First heats start at 9:00, so if you need more time to warm up or get ready, plan accordingly
- Those who have raised $150 will be the first to go as they have a chance to be ranked nationally (and they get a T-Shirt!)
- There could be up to 50 people going at a time so be ready to go soon after things get rolling.
- If you have a CFC shirt – WEAR IT
- Be ready for an awesome time!

Ladies – you are gonna rock the house! No need to worry, you are ready for this, you CAN do this. Tomorrow will be a great opportunity to find what works for you to get mentally prepared for a competition. I know you each will have other events in the future, from marathons to the CrossFit games. Clear your mind of anxious thoughts; visualize only perfect reps/movements & go forward in confidence. like the video said:
“… Look at me. I won’t let myself end where I started, I won’t let myself finish where I began. I know what is within me, Even if you can’t see it yet. Look me in the eyes. I have something more important than courage, I have patience. I will become, what I know I am.”
Good luck to all! Represent!!!
We will see everyone there! Bringing the whole fam to cheer for the CFC peeps. I wish we had CFC shirts for the little guys to wear! (there’s an idea…it can say “future crossfitter” on the back
Good luck. Wish I could attend!
I will be out of town this weekend, but will be thinking of you ALL this Saturday!! You will do GREAT!!! I will be cheering you on!!!!
