Fight Gone Bad 6 - Saturday September 17th
Fight Gone Bad 6 is a fundraising event benefiting the Special Operations Warrior Foundation and the CrossFit Foundation. Affiliates across the nation have been participating in this awesome event for the last 5 years. This year, on Sept 17th, we will be one of those affiliates hosting FGB6. To participate you will go to fgb6.org and click on REGISTER. Log-in or create a new account, then choose CrossFit South Shore and create your personal fundraising page. Each participant must register individually. There is no minimum fundraising amount, but if you want a tee-shirt you must raise $150.
For those unfamiliar with the event, here's the basics. On Saturday September 17th the WOD at our gym and many gyms across the nation will be Fight Gone Bad. We will open our gym to all CF'ers and their families and friends. There will be a sweet workout, awesome competition, dedicated athletes, prizes, and kick ass afterparty … but most importantly, we will come together to show Long Island what CrossFit is all about – it’s not just a workout… it is community… it is opportunity… it is giving back! FGB6 is not about us… It’s not about our gyms… It’s about those heroes in our lives that have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom… for those survivors that have been to hell and back – and know the true meaning of life! Are you in? (stay tuned for more details).

Tunnel to Towers 5k Run - Sunday September 25th
Race start time is 9:30am at the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. With so many of us already registered we are looking into a charter bus. Without the charter bus we would all be driving to and parking (fee charged) in downtown Manhattan (near finish line), and taking shuttle buses to the start of the race in Brooklyn. With our own private charter bus we can be dropped off at the start of the race in Brooklyn. After the race we plan on eating brunch at a downtown restaurant where our charter bus will be waiting for us. This seems much easier than attempting to locate parking downtown and dealing with overcrowded shuttle buses (this is a big event). Of course this will all depend on the cost of a charter bus. Stay tuned for more details.

The Beast of the East - October 8th - 9th
Two days of intense competition in what may be the second biggest event for CrossFit competitors on the east coast. We have registered two teams thus far. We are trying to register a third team, but we are in need of two more female competitors. Team members need not be members of our gym so if you know of any badass female athletes let me know and we will work on recruiting them. If you will be competing as an individual I know you already registered, right? If not, I suggest you do immediately before the event sells out. I will be working on accomodations and will post information as soon as possible.
Damn!!! My daughters birthday today so I'm gonna miss the WOD. Been looking forward to seeing what my Rx time would be on Fran.
Who's in for a make up this Sat?
