It’s the Saturday after Memorial Day, so it seemed appropriate to spend the morning remembering just a few of the men and women who gave all for our country and those they promised to serve. Instead of doing a single hero WOD, I took three common ones to create a mashup.

Warm up

10x IC SSH
10x IC Micheal Phelps
10x IC slow squat
10x IC Imperial walkers
10x IC windmills

The Thang

Ran to the shed to grab a block

Read a brief summary of 1st Lt. Travis Manion
His Hero WOD included:

• 29 back squats

Read a summary of Staff Sgt Robbie Miller
The Robbie Miller WOD included:

• 6x block rows
• 6x burpee with squat
• 6x IC mountain climbers
• 6x block getups

We left the blocks and mosey’s over to the playground

Read a summary of Lt. Michael Murphy
The Murph WOD included:

• 10x pullups
• 20x merkins
• 30x squats

Once complete, mosey back to the blocks to repeat the routine (minus the readings)

We were just a few reps short of completing three rounds.

Put the blocks away and returned to the flag where we finished off our homage with No Surrenders

COT

Announcements were:

• brew ruck next week
• Convergence in 3 weeks

Lifted up praise for Juice’s positive test results, protecting Door Dash from a near accident, and Door Dash dad’s positive response to recent treatment.
Lifted up graduating students and Sputnik’s challenge to see his daughter.

Today was a tough one and the guys did awesome. It’s worth reading the stories behind the WODs that bear these men’s name. It’s inspiring to hear of their bravery and sacrifice to protect their brothers in arms.
