Compare to Friday, 11 September 2020

*It is the athlete’s choice to run or row at the beginning, and then simply do the other at the end. Athletes use only one bar. Weight needs to be changed to match each lift.

The workout is symbolic of the US terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The 2001 meter row and run represent the year of the attacks. The 11 Reps of 9 exercises represents the date. Even the weights have meaning. The 125 lb Thrusters represents the number of deaths that occurred at the Pentagon. The 175 lb Power Clean symbolizes AA Flight 175 that hit the South Tower. The 170 lb Dead Lift is symbolic of flight 77 and Flight 93 combined. The 110 lb Push Jerks represent the number of floors in each tower of the World Trade Center buildings that were attacked.

    22 sec PR!
    Bum knee and longer transition distances, I will take the PR!!

    That row at the end is rough!! Went unbroken on all exercises except the cleans, which I plan on doing 1, drop, 1, repeat.

    Strong work to everyone that came out and performed the WOD!!

    24″box, 58# Thrusters, green band pull ups, 73# Cleans, box HSPU, 30# KB, 73#DL, 58# Push press. My T2B were much faster so I was happy with that.

    That row was the toughest part!, but Sarah yelled, “This is a hero WOD for a reason!” and that was all I needed to push hard until the end. All I could picture was the fireman running up all those flights of stairs with their heavy gear. They didn’t have a choice to stop.
