PTH - 57 Reps for Texas Childrens!

Wow! Vic and the folks at Bayou City Crossfit really outdid themselves! I'm very proud to announce that we had well over 200 people and raised over $6,000 for Texas Children's Hospital at Olivia's fundraiser "Perseverance Through Hardship = 57 Reps for Texas Children's Hospital." The event went great, it was hot, but you should be sweating during a Crossfit WOD anyways. A big thanks to all the folks who attended and especially to the Crossfit community and Bayou City, y'all are great!

We also had a distinguished guest, Uncle Mike, from Chicago who got to meet Olivia for the first time and was my buddle buddy for the WOD, thank God too, he pulled me through it.

For those of you who weren't there, the WOD (Workout of the day) was the following, with Battle Buddy (partner)...

- 57 box jumps
- 57 push press
- 57 lunges
- 57 sit ups
- 57 squats
- 57 push ups
- 57 KB swings
- 57 burpess

Just because I said I would, I did the WOD myself a few days later in around 22 minutes. It was hell, but compared to what Olivia has gone through, it was a breeze.

Here are some pics from the event.
