My first Rx Hero WOD, so I was pretty excited about that. Though I don’t like that Hero WODs exist, it was definitely a good way to start the week!
Nice work on the Rx Jen!
Good job, Jen. Way to go.
Thanks guys!
In of of you Sr. Airman B.R. Smith and all those who lost their lives on 9/11/01.

Three hero workouts in four days has left me pretty beat. Happy to end it on a high note. Key to this wod is to use the rest wisely and control your breathing. Thanks for the push Haley.
control you breathing and chalk your hands!
Insane time! Great job, man.
WOD: 28:57 RX – Damn, it is hot out again.
Thanks! You’ve been killing it. I’ll credit this time to the cool morning weather.
dude, you killed it!
31:12 rx. My body is officially beat. Great way to start the week off, though.
My last round of pull ups was embarrassingly bad. I have a lot of room for pull up improvement.
Your pull-ups are inspirational, Cal.
thanks, scott!! you’ve come so far with yours too! get after that red band, you won’t regret it!
33:23 with purple band on pull-ups
Feeling more comfortable with pull-up volume with purple band. Might be time to start checking out the red band.
Big ups to those who did the three hero WODs in a row!
Good to be back!! (again)
32:37 with a green band.
So HAPPY not to puke!!
Way to go 6:30!!

Weekend WOD — GORUCK Challenge NYC
http://goruckchallenge.com/faq/
The highlights: 11-11.5 hours and of Indian runs, regular running, traffic-light squats, death marches and even flutter-kicks in NYC’s lovely East River…all with a ruck filled with four bricks, food and water (and sometimes two rucks). After all of that grumbling I did about farmer walks last week, we lost the luxury of shoulder straps early on and I ended up farmer-carrying two rucks for several miles while the taller members of our crew (including CFF’s own Dennis M.) dealt with a giant log.
The most inspiring part of the weekend for me was running the Challenge with CPT Ivan Castro, a Green Beret who was gravely wounded in a mortar attack in 2006. CPT Castro performed every one of the tasks demanded of us and did so with a smile on his face and cracking jokes the whole time…in spite of the fact that he is completely blind. I will remember him and all of the other men and women who have sacrificed so much for us as Americans next time I want to complain about something being “too hard.” Amazing weekend.
That’s incredible!!
26:36 with green and purple bands on the pullups.
Was able to do all 10 rounds of pull ups without stopping. Time to change up the bands.
The runs seems to get faster throughout.
The burpees got harder and harder throughout.
Overall a hard workout but it felt good.
26:34 rx.
good: all rounds unbroken
bad: slow runs, need to work on that. also, note to self for next time – do the burpees outside! it’s not worth the extra 5-10 seconds each round to do burpees in the pampered luxury of the rubber floor inside.

Great tip on the burpees outside. makes way more sense.
