Monday 11, September 2017

Today we have a memorial WOD for the events of 9-11, I have very few words and still manage to get choked up when I remember this day. I did not personally loose anyone in this tragic event, or the ones surrounding it, but as an American I lost so much that day as did every man woman and child of this great country.

While performing this workout today, take a moment to stop and think of the people who lost and gave their lives today.

This WOD is symbolic of the US terrorist tacks of September 11, 2001. The 2001 meter row and run represent the year of the attacks. The 11 Reps of 9 exercises represents the date. Even the weights have meaning. The 125lb Thrusters represents the number of deaths that occurred at the Pentagon. The 175lb Power Clean symbolizes AA Flight 175 that hit the South Tower. The 170lb Dead Lift is symbolic of flight 77 and Flight 93 combined. The 110lb Push Jerks represent the number of floors in each tower of the World Trade Center buildings that were attacked.
