    This was a mental grind. Really had to focus on proper form not coming down on straight legs to protect my knees. Did 25 reps per side of the box and marked off every 100. I liked doing it this way. Next time pack the cat food into my Mystery Ranch pack. Way better waist belt and straps. That pack got heavy!

    A great hero WOD. THANK YOU veterans. ❤️

    Partnered with Vernice and Gene. So much fun!
    Hit 1000 at 48:58 14” box
    Continued to the one hour mark and did 1220!
    Coach Sarah says to do 16” next time. Decided we could.
