I did a really quick draft of a bib idea. What I was thinking is that whatever workout you choose, you could circle it in red (for the zombie theme).
Just a rough idea. Open to any suggestions. Maybe add the date? Something I just thought of. I could also put Pixy's name? Or take off GCBN if people are sensitive to privacy?
I could also do graphics for a web page, but I'm not savvy at coding or whatnot.
Thoughts?
I love it.
ETA: those that are already racing that day can use this as a back bib.

Truly amazing ladies. I've cried many tears for pixy and her sweet girl over the last couple of days. But this community's support and response has my heart swelling with happiness. This is such a special place. I'm honored to be a part of it!

I think this looks great. I will suggest, knowing how private Pixy is, to take ZB's real name off of it. I think just the "Blood, sweat & tears for ZB" is all we would need.
I used to mostly lurk on this board and hadn't been on in months. I randomly logged in on Wed and saw the news. I've been following all week. I have a little girl just a few months younger than ZB and remember Pixy from this board.
I would totally be in for this. What a neat way to support her and her family both emotionally and financially as well as honor ZB's precious life. The response from this community has blown me away!
ETA: I just looked at my calendar and will be racing a 12k that day already. I will proudly wear a bib on my back for ZB and donate to participate in the virtual race.

I think I'm racing that day too but will definitely wear a bib on my back for ZB.
I have no idea how much if a cut sites like Active take for handling registrations but I wonder if that could be an option? Just thinking if the amount of people it could reach, since they do a weekly email newsletter with events. I've seen other virtual races listed before.
I will help come up with a memorial WOD for the CFers. They usually have symbolic numbers. She was three right? Then I can come up with something with a 1-18-14 rep scheme. I could get some of the girls in my gym to do it with me.

Love this, I'm in. I have lots of friends and family coming in town for the derby that weekend so I can probably get a little group run together. Thanks for planning this!

I would love to do this.
And if I could make a small suggestion, as an option for some people, instead of printing out bibs to pin on, go to the store and buy the iron on transfer. That way you have a t-shirt honoring her as well. I am already running a race that day, so instead of pinning it to my back, I'm going to transfer it to my shirt instead.

I'm new (well, newly named anyway) around these parts but I'm totally in for either the 3.5 run or the WOD. This is an awesome idea, btw. If there happens to be anyone else in San Diego participating, I'd be willing to figure out a run route and/or place for a group WOD if people want to participate together.
