Barbells for Boobs is an event that raises money to help fund mammograms for low-income or uninsured southern California women. Participants donate $35 dollars to compete in the amazing grace WOD. Crossfit Newport graciously hosted the event for all the gyms in the area. Click here to read more about the event.
Before the competition all the CFCM members met up at our gym for a lil pre event pep rally. I wasn't entirely sure what the weight classes were going to be so I was still on the fence about participating. The last time I did the grace WOD I could only lift the 45# bar. Erica and Katie insisted that I do the workout, so I did a few warm up lifts of 65#. Since the 65# felt manageable I decided I would suck it up and compete. Yep, you heard correct. Jenelle actually competed in something! I will admit I was a little nervous, but knowing my crossfit family would be there to push me helped calm me down.

Carmen, a member of our gym, was diagnosed with breast cancer. So we all rocked some custom made shirts that said 'for Carmen' on the back.
