Finally, 2014 CrossFit Games ended with yet another outstanding performance by HQ staff and volunteers. This year Asia Regional was a great success also. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to all the volunteers supported this year's Asia regional. Specially to all the military volunteers supported four days of support.
Looking forward to next year's Regional in Seoul, Korea. We (Asia CrossFit Game staff) started to plan for next year's event. If you are interested to be a part of a core staff to make the next year the best ever please send me an e-mail asia@crossfitgames.com

Dear Crossfit Bonifas,
ReplyDeleteI'm Tom Foster, and along with a teammate of mine from the Yale Crew team, am starting the Iron Oar Challenge – a nationwide indoor rowing event for charity. You can check out our website at www.ironoar.org and our facebook at www.facebook.com/ironoarchallenge.
All proceeds of the event are going to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation -- a four-star charity that guarantees the children of fallen special operators a full-ride through any college they get into, as well as other educational and advisory services. Their website is www.specialops.org.
The event itself is taking place on February 21st and 22nd nationwide, and you can sign up individually or via the nearest team/club/gym. On our website we have a map that shows where the nearest participating gym is, but we're hoping a lot of people who have ergs at home will participate as well. All registration info can be found on our website, www.ironoar.org.
Participants can sign up for a 30-minute erg for meters, or as part of a four-man 10,000m relay team. In addition, participants can sign up for a bonus 500m sprint. Registration for the individual event is $15, and $50 for the team event. The sprint is an extra $5. Prizes will be given to winners of the events, as well as to the gyms and individuals that raise the most money.
A brand-new Concept 2 Model D rower with the PM5 monitor will be given to the gym that raises the most money, shipped for free. Winners of individual events will receive a blacked-out Luminox watch. Runners-up will receive Optimum Nutrition protein, or assorted Concept 2 gear. Individuals who raise more than $30 will be given a free JL t-shirt with out logo and sponsors’ logos on it.
As a CrossFit military affiliate, we hope you guys will be interested in taking the challenge. Please don't hesitate to ask any further questions.
all best,
Tom Foster
