On August 3, 2013, CrossFit gyms across the nation and world will gather together to honor our heroes killed in action August 6, 2011 with a workout in an effort to raise funds for the families affected by this tragedy. All funds received will go to these families through the Navy SEAL Foundation, other like-organizations, & individual family funds.
CrossFit RVA will be participating, hosting workouts at 830am and 930am with as many additional heats as necessary to allow everyone to workout.
****We will be running heats at 8:30, 9:15, and 10:00. Include your name and your partners name under the appropriate time. I am limiting heats to 10 teams to avoid any major log jams on the rope as we will only have 7 available. If you do not have a partner and do not care who you do the workout with please leave a blank space next your name so someone can fill it. Again, please go to 31heroes.com to register. All donations go to the families of these fallen heroes!*****
The Workout:
AMRAP 31 minutes (As Many Reps As Possible)
8 Thrusters (155/105#)
6 Rope Climbs (15 ft. ascent)
11 Box Jumps (30/24″)
The workout promises to be a unique Hero WOD. 31 of America’s bravest have made the ultimate sacrifice for our sake. We can all agree that no workout will ever be enough to say thank you, but among this community it almost seems to be our version of the “moment of silence”, a small way we can honor the those that have gone before us. We hope you’ll join us for this moment of silence.
In regards to the specifics of the Hero WOD, it is still in the process of being created. We will provide more information as it becomes ready. Thank you!
