Where were you on September 11, 2001? It's interesting that when this question gets asked almost everyone I know, knows exactly where they were at and what they were doing when they found out about the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001. There is not much I can say about September 11 except that I still remember and I remember it everyday! I still remember seeing the news images as the events unfolded and I still remember hearing about all the lives that were changed because of the attacks. So with that being said today we will be doing a HERO WOD that honors all the heroes that paid the ultimate sacrifice so others could live. For Time: 2001m row or 2001m Run (1.25 miles) 11 Box Jumps (30″ / 24″) 11 Thrusters (125# / 85#) 11 Burpee Chest to Bar Pull-ups 11 Power Cleans (170# / 120#) 11 HSPUs 11 KB Swings (75 / 55) 11 Toes to Bar 11 Deadlifts (170# / 120#) 11 Push Jerks (110# / 75#) 2001m Row or 2001m Run (1.25 miles) -1 mile + 1 400 meter or 2 800 meters + 1 400 meter or 5 400 meters 40 min time cap The workout itself is completely symbolic of 9/11. The 2001 meter row/run represents the year the attack took place. The 11 reps of 9 exercises represents the date (9/11). Even the weights have meaning. The 125 pound thrusters represents the number of deaths that occurred at the Pentagon. The 175 pound power clean symbolizes the AA Flight 175 that hit the South Tower. The 170 pound deadlift is symbolic of Flight 77 and Flight 93 combined. And the 110 pound push jerk represents the number of floors in each tower of the World Trade Center. -You may do this with a partner or as an individual. Partners split the reps however.
