Background: This Hero WOD is dedicated to PC Andrew Harper who paid the ultimate price in the line of duty on August 15, 2019. Harper, a rapid response police officer with the Thames Valley roads and traffic command (UK) was killed after he was struck by a car while trying to stop burglary suspects near Reading just four weeks after his wedding. His wife, Lissie, released a tribute to him on Monday night, August 19, 2019, calling him “the kindest, loveliest, most selfless person”. We first found this workout posted by CrossFit Fallow @crossfitfallow (Lincoln, UK) 3 days after his passing. The WOD was designed by Ellie Drakes and Martin James (a CrossFit Fallow member and fellow police officer) to honor Andrew.
