Beat the Streets Fundraiser
Saving a Nation one Kid at a time

W.O.D. 5.15.10

AMRAP 15 min
Station 1: Burpees
Station 2: KB Swings (53#/36#)
Station 3: Pullups (chest to bar)
Run 200m

All athletes begin at the same time and switch when the runner returns. When the runner comes back in, he/she goes to Station 1 (Burpees) and everyone goes to the next station (Burpees goes to KB Swings, KB Swings go to Pullups, Pullups go to the run).

WHEN:
8:00 AM at CrossFit King of Prussia

SCORING:
Count total # of reps (sum of Burpees, KB Swings, and Pullups), team with the highest # wins.

STANDARDS:
KB swing - bottom of the KB must face the ceiling, judges should be able to see the athlete's ears. Burpees - athlete must touch their chest to the floor on each rep, how they get down/up is up to them (no pushup is required), and must clap overhead at the top as they jump (should be able to see their ears). Pullup (chest to bar) - athlete can do whatever type of pullup they like, as long as their chest (just below clavicle).

TRANSITIONS:
Athletes can only switch stations once they get a high-five from their teammate (prevents athletes from leaving early). During the high-five, the athlete that has just finished at that station will give the arriving athlete the "count" of what they are up to. For example, Athlete A is on burpees, and when Athlete D comes in from the run, Athlete A has done 20 burpees and tells Athlete D "20" and Athlete D begins counting with 21 (this is easier than trying to add it all up at the end).

DONATIONS:
Our goal is to raise 1k which will enable CrossFit KoP to sponsor an at-risk youth athlete of "Steve's Club" Athlete! A suggested donation amount of $25-$30 will go directly to Steve's Club. In addition to all donations raised Nikki has volunteered to donate $10 for each team participating.

TEAMS:
So far we have 5 teams registered and two partial teams; even if you aren't signed up you are welcome to show up at 8am and we will place you on a team!!
