2012 “Back On Track” Challenge Winners
We challenged a select group of committed athletes to ring in the new year with 30 days of strict clean eating. No gimmicks, tricks, weight-loss supplements, special shakes, pills, or quick fixes. Just plain old hard work and clean eating; the way nature intended!
The requirements were simple: Eat clean, post a daily Facebook update tagging CrossFit Ocean Isle Beach or a comment on our CrossFit OIB blog, and perform the benchmark WOD “Filthy Fifty” at the start and finish of the challenge. 1 winner was chosen based on the above criteria.
The results are in . . .
