Details: Athletes start on the track. They run 70 meters to pick up a 100lbs sandbag and move it 12 meters.   After dropping the sandbag, the athlete  does 12 lateral burpees over the sandbag.  Athletes pick up the sandbag and move it 12 meters, drop it and do 12 lateral burpees.  Athletes pick up the sandbag for the third time, and move it 12 meters, drop it and do 12 lateral burpees.  Athletes then pick up the sandbag and move it 36 meters.  They then drop the bag and run one 400 meter lap of the track.

The event will use a MDUSA Sandbag XL Trainer generously provided by California Strength.  The athlete can pick up the bag to move it any way they choose, except dragging the sandbag.  The bag may not be dragged in any way during the event.  If the athlete drops the bag while moving to the next point, she must pick it up where it was dropped and continue.  The 36 meter course will take place on the athletic field. Athletes will move the sandbag across the width of the field at the track's midpoint.

It is important to get familiar with this type of MDUSA Sandbag XL Trainer before the event.  Athletes can try and test out the sandbag, and the full workout, at both Crossfit Sweatshop and Crossfit Oakland.  Or order their own from California Strength and test and practice with the sandbag before the event.
