On holidays, we try to engage in our community atmosphere with a cookout, potluck, etc and a Hero WOD... a Hero WOD is a CrossFit workout named after a Hero, generally a fallen soldier. This Labor Day we took part in "Bradley." Bradley Smith was a 24 year old U.S. Airforce Senior Airmen based in Fort Riley, Kansas, originally from Troy, Illinois. Killed on January 3, 2010 by an IED in Afghanistan, Bradley is survived by his wife, a daughter, his parents, and brother.

The Bradley WOD is 10 RFT (rounds for time):
100 Meter Sprint
10 Pull-ups
100 Meter Sprint
10 Burpees
30 Second Rest

We thank all of those in the armed forces for their service and we also thank our members who were able to join us for this workout to honor our fallen heroes!

We hope everyone who participated had fun and can't wait for next year!
