Bowen Workout & Fundraiser THIS Coming Saturday!

The local CrossFit/Fitness Communities are gathering together for a CrossFit Workout to Honor the Memory of Capt. Jeff Bowen.

About

On July 28, 2011, Asheville firefighter Capt. Jeff Bowen gave his life in the line of duty. In his honor, we are hosting a Hero workout to raise money for the Bowen Family. A suggestion donation of $20 earns you a spot in a heat, as well as a t-shirt with all proceeds going to the Bowen family. ANYONE is welcome to participate. You do NOT have to be a member of a local CrossFit affiliate to attend.

 

“Bowen” – The Workout

3 Rounds for time:

800m run
7 deadlifts (60-70% of max NTE 275/185lbs)
10 burpee pull-ups
14 single arm KB thrusters (7/arm) NTE 53/35lb Kbs
20 box jumps NTE 24/20″
(30 minute cap)

Please note: The Rx’d workout is certainly challenging, but can be scaled for individuals of ANY level: lighter DL loads, burpee ring-rows, box step-ups, scaled distance run or row replacement, etc. as needed! PLEASE do not allow the challenge of the workout be the limiter for participation!
