*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.

Nice work, girl and welcome back!!
Brian: 33:19 Rx
Sarah: 28:48 Rx
This is 1:22 slower than my PR. I was struggling holding row at 2:25. Run was 10:25.
All UB except PC was 3-3-2-1-1-1. Fast singles probably ultimately faster.
In 2024 try rowing first and keeping it at 2:10-2:15 pace.

I tried rowing first. Next time run first. Wasn’t a bad plan but I need the accountability on the run.
The middle part is harder than I expect regardless. The box jumps to thruster to c2b get my heart pumped. Next time go unbroken on thrusters. Resting there was not helpful.
41:02 Rx – thanks Sarah and Jimmy for helping me with HSPUs to do this Rx
Didn’t get to warm-up, so calves were super tight during and after the run. Really didn’t loosen up until the C2B
HSPUs took me about 4:30 so definitely an opportunity to get better at these.
Will work to get more exercises unbroken next time – Did thrusters, T2B, Deadlifts, and Push Jerks unbroken.
Run was ~14ish, Row 9:39 (could have been faster)
32:56 Rx
Purposefully did not try for PR. I pushed hard not saying I went slow by any means, I was exhausted at the end. However, I broke up most movements to force myself to not try for a PR which Coach Sarah and I believe my overall is not ready for just yet….but I am getting closer! 🙂
Solid work on all those who performed the WOD! Many felt like quitting, but all finished, or went to their cap to leave. Ape strong!!
And, WELCOME BACK GENE!!!!!!!!
This was the longest run I have done in a long time. The thing that helped me keep moving the whole time was remembering the sacrifices from September 11. Thanks Coach Jimmy and Coach Sarah for putting this together as a remembrance. My total time was 47:10.
41:07 Rx
Don’t chew gum
Full sets on all but Thrusters (6/5), Power Cleans (Singles). Need to continue to build leg strength and improve technique on power cleans to where I’m not using my lower back and fatiguing out. Running has improved but row pace was too slow, need to be closer to or under to 2 min/500m.
Total time 44:57
