Main Class and Advanced RX Class:

31Heroes Memorial Team WOD

In teams of 2, complete the following AMRAP 31 minutes (As Many Reps As Possible):

8 Thrusters (155#/105#)
6 Rope Climbs (15′)
11 Box Jumps (30″/24″)

* Partners alternate work on the above rounds with a 400m Bumper Plate Run (45#/25#).

This is a Partner WOD – Partner #1 will perform the work listed above while Partner #2 will run 400m with a bumper (45#/25#). Once Partner #2 returns from the run, Partner #1 will grab the bumper and begin their 400m, while Partner #2 continues work wherever #1 left off.

Score is your total # of reps as a team.

Today was our 4th annual 31Heroes workout as a gym. Great turnout for a worthy cause. Thank you to those who registered for our team on EventBrite and participated today to remember our fallen heroes.

“Established to honor the 31 Americans killed in action on August 6, 2011, The 31Heroes Project serves to impact the lives of our nation’s heroes and their families, while remembering the fallen, through athletic endeavors and competitive fundraising events.

The 31Heroes Project was conceived in response to the Extortion 17 helicopter crash in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011 killing 30 military service members, as well as one military working dog – Many of the fallen were Special Operators from the Navy SEAL community.”

Pood is a Russian unit of mass. It is common for kettlebells to be expressed in terms of poods since Russians must have loved swinging metal balls with handles around before anyone else. In CrossFit, the main numbers we use in kettlebells are a 1 pood (~36 lbs.), a 1.5 pood (53#), and a 2 pood (72#).

Michelle M. wanted a birthday WOD that was a long conditioning bodyweight workout. She listed pull-ups and squats as things she liked and push-ups as her nemesis. Perfect fit to try out the new super-sized version of “Cindy”. Happy Push-up Day!

Here’s a new benchmark conditioning WOD we will do. Note the physical change and progress Guerrero has made in 6 months. This WOD is very similar to Fight Gone Bad and looks gross. On second thought never mind. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Fun WOD yesterday; which was a different way of tackling strength and metabolic conditioning at the same time. I first did this WOD back in 2010 when I dropped into District CrossFit in Washington D.C. At the time they had a small space and a couple racks and I found this was a creative way to gettting a large class through while fostering teamwork to load/unload bars with minimal rest. This format will return with a different lift combined with a bodyweight or conditioning movement.

“In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.

This workout was one of Mike’s favorites and he’d named it “Body Armor”. From here on it will be referred to as “Murph” in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is.” ~ from CrossFit.com

 “Murph” was a Hero and Navy Seal who received the Medal of Honor for gallantry in action during Operation Red Wings. LT Murphy died while leading his team and risking his personal safety repeatedly to call for support for his team while involved in a heavy ambush by Taliban forces. The battle claimed the lives of 11 Navy SEALs and 8 US Army Nightstalkers from TF 160 SOAR. Three of the CrossFit Hero WOD’s are dedicated to three of those fallen (JT, Murph and Michael).

Today we honored our fallen veterans with “Memorial Day Murph”. A record 56 of us came in and honored our heroes. 3 more completed it on their own yesterday outside of the gym. Thanks to all who came and supported one another and pushed through a tough workout. After the WOD we had a great turnout for the potluck/BBQ with a big spread of food and drinks. Thanks to everyone for bringing tables, supplies, plenty of food and drinks to share, Anna for the huge trays of chips/guac and meat to grill, and to Jim Mc and Spencer for bringing their grills for us all to BBQ on. SRCF community in action!

Most importantly remember our fallen Veterans. Thank you to all who served and all who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Tomorrow is Memorial Day Murph! See below for Monday’s class schedule. All class sign-up spots have been taken BUT that does not mean we won’t fit you in! Show up, warm-up, be patient and I will ensure that EVERYONE who wants to WOD gets through. Be smart and plan in advance how you will scale the workout, but realize I will be ensuring everyone is adequately scaled to their fitness level. Even though this is a Hero WOD, this is not meant to be a 2 hour marathon in which we have to send out a search party for you on the final run. If you need to do the half then that is simply what you need to do. It’s not anything to hang your head over. Be proud that you are going to kick your butt, honor those who have sacrificed, and that you are doing it with a community of like-minded and supportive friends!

NOTE: The rules for any Hero WOD in our box are as follows:

  1. No whining, bitching or complaining. These workouts are dedicated to fallen heroes. Being tired, out of energy, or exhausted is not an excuse to not be positive! Think about something that motivates you to keep going, consider the reason there are “Hero” WOD’s and keep plugging away.
  2. No quitting. This is NOT the same as scaling. Scaling is smart. Quitting is giving up completely.
  3. Have fun! 

Monday Schedule:

Monday, May 26th, we will be hosting the annual Murph Challenge 2014

  • 0830, 0930, and 1030 classes only 
  • No PM classes! 
  • Sign ups on the whiteboard will have priority in that time slot 
  • If time slots fill up we will still make sure everyone gets to go! Just be PATIENT!

“Murph” WOD:
Run 1 mile
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
Run 1 mile

* Break up the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats how you want. Wear a 20# vest if you have it.
** Half Murph strongly encouraged for your first time. (all distance/reps cut in half)

Potluck/BBQ details:

  • After all the heats are done at 1230 we are also having a potluck/BBQ lunch
  • We will have “Lone Survivor” to play on the TV as well as we will replay Regional streams
  • Bring a dish to share or whatever you want to grill and eat for yourself. Thanks to Spencer and Jim Mc for bringing their grills!
