4. Monday 10am – 2009 Trevor Win’E Memorial Challenge at CrossFit Memphis
   1. The 3rd annual Trevor Win’E Memorial Challenge is a CrossFit Team WOD designed to support our active duty military personnel who are currently deployed in the middle east. Each participating team donates one cooling vest (Mist-n-go; $200) to deployed service person in Iraq or Afghanistan. Your team can donate your vest to any deployed service man or woman! Your affiliate can also sponsor a unit and we can take care of a group.

      Last year’s Trevor Win’E (pronounced Win-Nay) CrossFit Challenge raised over $51,000, and the cause was able to donate 364 cooling vests to the folks who need them most. Join the cause and do it for the heroes!

      The Challenge: Teams of four complete the following:
      300 Pull ups
      400 Push ups
      500 Sit ups
      600 Squats

      Execution: This is a team effort so it is accumulative reps. Only two teams members can exercise at a time, and all reps must be completed before moving on to the next movement (i.e. finish all pull ups before moving on to the push ups).
