31 HEROES - Saturday August 5th 2017

31HEROES

On August 6, 2011, a tragedy shook the military community and Americans everywhere. In a single instance, America lost 30 military service members, many of whom were members of the Navy SEAL community—and one military K9– when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter, call sign Extortion 17, was downed in Afghanistan.

The 31Heroes WOD was specifically designed to remember the fallen heroes of August 6, 2011 and honor their legacy of sacrifice.

The 31Heroes WOD will take place simultaneously across the globe, we will be doing it here at BattleBorn CrossFit, on August 5th, 2017. 

For the athletic community, this is our moment of silence.

This is how we remember. This is how we come together to support those who’ve fought for us.
The 31Heroes WOD is more than a workout.

This is a mission to give back to those who’ve given their all.
Grab a partner, and join the team.

Like the warriors of our armed services, this WOD is about working together, sacrificing yourself for your teammate, and accomplishing the mission together. Partner 1 performs the workout listed above. Partner 2 runs 400m with a sandbag (45/25). When Partner 2 returns from the run, Partner 1 will grab the sandbag, and begin their 400m run, while Partner 2 continues the workout where Partner 1 left off.
