CrossFit Slough’s (CFS)
Immortal Challenge.
To provide support to
the homeless in the local area, the 24-hour Immortal Challenge is raising money
for Slough Homeless Our Concern (SHOC).
SHOC is a day centre
that provides care and long term transformational help for the homeless,
helping them back on their feet and putting them on the road to independence.
The Immortal Challenge
is literally the definition of CrossFit:
“Constantly varied functional movements executed at high
intensity”.
They have chosen 24 HERO
WOD’s which incorporate 40 different movements, covering the full range of
athletic disciplines in the sport.
Every WOD will start on
the hour, every hour for the 24 hours. There will be a mandatory pre-WOD
briefing which will start at 10 minutes to the hour.
During the briefing they will learn about the HERO who we are remembering, the workout, and all of the
movement standards for that WOD.
The fact that they have
24 people willing to take part in this event is a testament to the strength of
the CrossFit community.
This is going to be a tough challenge and they will
all need to help each other to get through the physical and mental fatigue that
comes with endurance challenges.
While they will be
separated into several teams throughout this challenge, they remain one CFS team
from start to finish.
If they work together they will get everyone to the end of
the last workout – This is what our community does best:
We dig deep and work
as a team.
It is said that failing
to prepare is preparing to fail.
Injury prevention is
critical for getting these athletes through the challenge, so I was extremely happy to volunteer my services and support these guys throughout the event.
