The WOD
“31Heroes”
AMRAP in 31 Minutes of:
8 Thrusters (155/105)
6 Rope Climbs (15 ft. ascent)
11 Box Jumps (30″/24″)
This is a Partner WOD – Partner #1 will perform the work listed above. Partner #2 will run 400m with a sandbag (45/25). Once Partner #2 returns from the run, Partner #1 will grab the sandbag and begin their 400m, while Partner #2 continues work wherever #1 left off. Score – Total # of reps
*This WOD was created specifically to honor the 30 men and one dog that gave their lives for our country on August 6, 2011. It is 31 minutes long—one minute in remembrance of each hero. The rep scheme is 8-6-11—the date of their ultimate sacrifice. Finally, this is a partner WOD. The men who gave their lives were from multiple branches of our military, working together as a team. In the workout you and your team member will constantly be taking the load from each other providing much needed support and relief. We realize that no physical sacrifice made during a workout can come close to the sacrifice our brave heroes made, but we consider this WOD a CrossFitters “moment of silence.” This is how we can honor those that gave all, in the name of freedom.
HEATS: Once you have registered, you may sign up for your desired heat. The heat sign up sheets will be posted August 1st at the gym. This is first come first serve. Please register ASAP, so we know how many heats to prepare for. You may also sign up for a heat by emailing marla@outliercrossfit.com.
BACKGROUND: On August 6th 2011, some of us at Outlier CrossFit lost close friends and loved ones when a military helicopter carrying 31 U.S. special operation troops was shot down in Eastern Afghanistan. Our hearts break for their family members and they will be fondly remembered and sorely missed. Their dedication to serve our country will never be forgotten.
It is especially during times like this when we are reminded of the enormous sacrifice that each and every one of our military service members make in order to keep our world safe. They commit to making not only the ultimate sacrifice if need be, but also to the everyday sacrifices that affect them continuously. They commit to missing their children’s births, first steps, birthday celebrations, months away from loved ones, potential injuries, and countless other selfless acts.
Outlier CrossFit is proud to be the home to many active duty service members and veterans. We at Outlier Crossfit would like to take this opportunity to thank each one of you (and your families) for the sacrifices that you make, both large and small. Your continued service and bravery is greatly appreciated.
Benefits: We would like to encourage all of our members to show their support for the fallen heroes by participating in the 31 Heroes. It will help raise money for the following organizations: Snowball Express, the Travis Manion Foundation‘s Challenge Grants program, the Navy Seal Foundation, and the memorial funds of each of the men killed in action August 6, 2011. Members of the community are welcome to participate as well. Please help us in honoring their memory and giving back to the families who made their service possible.
