Heat 4 gets after it.

This past Friday we held our first ever Hero WOD. We were fortunate enough to be joined not only by our own members but members from the surrounding area, including CrossFit Huntley, CrossFit Carbon, and CrossFit Prevail.

Throughout the night, we ran four heats of “Nutts” (10 HSPUs, 15 Deadlifts, 25 Tall Box Jumps, 50 Pull Ups, 100 Wall Balls, 200 Double Unders, and a 400 meter run with a plate). By the end of the day, we had over 70 people complete the workout in memory of Lieutenant Andrew Richard Nuttall.

I have to give personal shout outs to Steph Rasmusen and Mike Koehler, who took the time to help me set up the various lanes; Lawson, who manned the grill all night; Lisa and Peanut, for taking donations and collecting money for the recover beverages and burgers; and everyone who brought food, chairs, tables, etc. for the BBQ. We also want to thank everyone who came out for the event; give a big virtual high five to everyone who participated in the WOD; express gratitude to all who donated to the CrossFit Bearded Warriors in Septembeard; and hope that we get to see all of you again in the near future. Thank you all for helping us complete our Hero WOD mission and making it a success!
