This was a good workout. I did the push-ups unbroken, the goblet squats in 30/23, and the kettlebell swings in 30/23 as well. I wanted SO much to put the KB down on the swings because I was losing my grip but I held on! :D

Background: Milwaukee Police Officer Charles Irvine Jr., 23, a four-year veteran of the department, was killedwhen the squad car he was in flipped during a pursuit on June 7, 2018. His badge number was 2353 (hence the rep scheme in the workout). "Growing up, all he ever wanted to do was serve, to become either a firefighter like his stepfather or a police officer, a friend and fellow police recruit recalled." Following his death, on Sunday, August 12, a memorial fundraiser event featuring this workout ("The Irvine") was put on in part by Brew City CrossFit @brewcitycrossfit (Milwaukee, WI, USA). Participants paid to take part in the event and money raised benefitted the memorial funds set up for Officer Irvine.
