12/31 WOD
8:00 and 9:00 am only
A CrossFit Hero WOD is designed to honor a fallen Hero, to give yourself a reality check and to put you into a level of suck that brings this whole thing back into perspective. A CrossFit Hero WOD is not meant to be an everyday training regimen, nor should it be. These workouts are nasty, and for good reason, they take you to a place that you may never have been before. A level of suck that is indescribable to most that have never been there, and when its over you should feel accomplished not because of the time on the board, but the fact that you finished, the fact that you put it all out there to honor a fallen Hero.
So today, as we hit this workout, I want us to all sit back and look at the big picture. Take a second to think about why we are doing this, then give this workout everything you have. It will be tough, it will be grueling, but in the end I promise you will be proud of what just went down.
