Upcoming Events

Saturday, August 10th 31Heroes Charity & Fundraising WOD!! 31Heroes was created to help support the families of those killed in action on 8-6-2011; a date which resulted in our largest loss of life in a single day during the Afghan War as 30 service-members, across 3 branches, and 1 working dog, were killed in action. The fundraiser helps support the families of those lost along with the larger Navy Seal community and also to aid in the treatment of PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury.

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 is your total number of rounds/reps (25 per round). Ex: 5+16 Rx.

This WOD was created specifically to honor the 30 men and one service canine 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.
