Good job Team Manpanion! Also, well done by Brigit with the fundraising. Everyone who came out was in fantastic spirits, and because of all you fabulous Zoners, the event was a smashing success!
Great job everyone!! it was nice to see so many people in the gym for such a good cause! Thanks Donald and Rob so bringing such a positive cause to the zone!
i definitely have pledges coming in…. but can’t get them in probably until tues or thurs, is that a problem?
hey gang!
I had an awesome time yesterday at our FGB! The energy and enthusiasm you all brought was amazing… that is truly what our community is all about.
Huge props to Coach D who really did the lion’s share of organizing and to Rob and Donald for both proposing the challenge and for their work generating the FGB pledge sheets, recording sheets, and posters!
For the record, Krista got 246 reps, great work KDF!
We’ll have to work out the rest of the top performers as the classes each person used weren’t recorded on the numbers sheets, so let us know!
Fight on gang, see you all soon

Congrats Cam on the 317 and Team Manpanion!
I am a bit surprised that no one surpassed the 322 point mark considering the level of energy that must have been in the gym. I can’t wait to get back. I’ll be in Tuesday evening, totally jet lagged, but ready to go. Need to work off a few croissants :-).
I have some money to come in. I had four sponsors lined up before I found out I had to travel. I can base their contributions on Eric’s total.
Oh, sorry, forgot to say, CONGRATS Krista!! Although, I’m not surprised :-).
Rob and Donald in the this mornings TC!!
Rob and Donald in this ams TC!!

Thanks b, that is awesome! We will be posting a running schedule this week for anyone that is interested in running a few km next week with these guys 🙂
I’d like to thank everyone… the FGB challenge was an awesome event and I was, yet again, left in awe at the energy, camaraderie, and community at Crossfit Zone!
A extra special thanks to Coach Angry Kitten for being the driving force behind the event and all the organizing!
I am so sore….
Thank you! That was amazing and BBBS will appreciate the funds, for sure.
The Coaches, participants and organizers and everyone who came out to cheer made the event excellent.
One question… when can we do that again!?
Well we will start to plan our next challenge very soon 🙂
You guys are very welcome, we really enjoyed helping you out. You both are very amazing and inspiring people.
