With a running clock, break up the work between partners as needed. One partner works while the other rests. 1 hour time cap. So, this is a TOUGH workout! It went a little weird today because there were 4 of us that began this workout but then it went down to 3, then 2, then 3 again... :D I started with Christopher but then after the first round he was just feeling too exhausted and so I joined Seth and Erin. They were originally just going to do 3 rounds but Seth decided to continue with me. Then, Seth talked Erin into "Helping out a little bit" in the last couple rounds on the things we had been struggling with (Shoulder to overhead and we were grateful! :D ) and so we finished as a trio! I was SO happy to have them do a Hero WOD with me! ************************************ Created by Garry Jones (former New Zealand SAS) and Fred Asi of Crossfit Taumata to honor CPL Dougie Grant and LCPL Leon Smith. CPL Dougie Grant died on 19 August 2011 when he was hit by a bullet fired by insurgents while trying to rescue civilians following an attack on the British Council building in Kabul. Despite the efforts of New Zealand and Coalition medics at the scene he died en route to Bagram Air Base hospital. He is survived by his wife Tina and two children, Jemma and Jaden. LCPL Leon Smith was killed when he and other NZSAS personnel accompanied a group from the Crisis Response Unit including Interior Ministry legal officials, who were serving a Ministry of the Interior judicially authorised arrest warrant in a compound suspected to house suicide bombers. It is believed the intent of the insurgents was to conduct an operation in the Kabul region. In the early hours of the morning (Afghan time) on Wednesday 28 September 2011, as the group moved to the compound it was engaged by suspected insurgents. LCPL Smith was struck in the head by a bullet gravely injuring him, and he was medically evacuated to a hospital where he later died. This WOD was is sometimes programmed at boxes in Australia and New Zealand for Anzac Day (April 25). ANZAC = Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The day is now one of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders "who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations" and the contributions of all who continue to serve.
