13 Atlas Lunges (70/50 lb)
35 Burpees

*****************************************************
Another great WOD in honor of others today... I actually used a 62# Sandbag for this. I knew we had 40"s/60's/and 80's and for a Hero WOD I will always go heavier if that is my option. I try never to complain during a Hero WOD but I will say that I felt this the most in my calves during the burden run and my back on the Atlas Lunges. It is not anything I am not used to though so I wasn't surprised. It helps to just learn to reposition the sandbag and/or your posture to help ease a little bit of that. I would do a round and then rest for about 2:00 to get my heart rate down and cool down a little. Again, my ice bandana was a life saver because it was a hot one today!
Round 1 - 10:01
Round 2 - 10:32
Round 3 - 10:28
Round 4 - 12:06
Round 5 - 11:57
Grateful to honor these men and women today.

Background: This workout is dedicated to the 13 service members – 11 Marines, an Army Corpsman, and a Navy Corpsman – who died on August 26, 2021, at the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, while engaged in a dangerous, selfless mission to save the lives of others. They were assisting in the evacuation of US Citizens and friendly Afghan nationals.
The attack marked one of the deadliest days for American forces in the past decade of the 20-year war in Afghanistan — and took place just days ahead of the U.S.’s planned full withdrawal from the country that was overtaken on Aug. 15 by the Taliban.
The soldiers who sacrificed their lives were:
– Dylan Merola – 20
– Daegan William-Tyeler Page – 23
– Humberto Sanchez – 22
– Johanny Rosario – 25
– Nicole Gee – 23
– Hunter Lopez – 22
– Taylor Hoover – 31
– Ryan Knauss – 23
– David Lee Espinoza – 20
– Rylee McCollum – 20
– Jared Schmitz – 20
