In summer 2018, a rescue mission in the treacherous confines of a flooded Tham Luang cave complex in Thailand saved all 12 boys and their soccer coach who were trapped deep within. It ended a grueling, 18-day ordeal that claimed the life of an experienced volunteer diver, former Navy SEAL, Saman Kunan.
On Friday, July 6, 2018, Saman, 38, lost consciousness from a lack of oxygen on his way out of the Tham Luang cave complex after delivering supplies to the missing group.
Conditioning:
Hero WOD
“Saman”
13 Deadlifts (185/125)
17 Wall-ball shots (20/14) @ (10/9′)
400m Run
8 rounds for time
The meaning of the numbers:
– 8 rounds because the kids were 3.2 km inside the cave 400m x 8 = 3.2 km
– 13 for the boys and their coach
– 17 for the how many days they were trapped inside the cave

This was mentally tough and I wanted to challenge myself because I hate deadlifts and wallballs. Hero words are always good for that. NTFS: 8/5 and 10/7 worked great.
