On October 29, 2018, 43 year old Senior Chief Petty Officer Chad Wilkinson took his own life, leaving behind a wife and two children. Chad had served in the Navy’s SEAL teams for 21 years and was an novice mountain climber. To support veteran mental health awareness, Chad’s wife Sara founded the Step Up Foundation and sponsors a CrossFit WOD in Chad’s memory every Veteran’s Day: 1000 box steps with a 45 lb ruck.
To do our part, the Twin Team Lounge Outreach Committee donated four registration fees to the Step Foundation/Chad1000x and (loosely) followed the WOD this morning.
The THANG:
Count noses (2 pax) and do some quick math to divide 1000 reps across pax members and beatdown stations.
Ruck up and mosey to the Twin Team Hill cul de sac. Ditch the rucks and mosey of the hill to find a pre-positioned bench.
- 1000/6 x step ups OYO, alternating incline merkins, dips or lunges p.r.n.
Grab the bench and mosey down the hill to the cul de sac.
- 1000/6 x step ups OYO, alternating incline merkins, dips or lunges p.r.n.
Ruck up, grab the bench and frogger across Robious Road, back to the flag.
- 1000/6 x step ups OYO, alternating incline merkins, dips or lunges p.r.n.
2 minutes of dead man hangs and old man stretches. YHC took us out.
NMMS: It was great to catch up with Bullseye this morning. Keep an eye on each other gents – if you see a brother struggling, reach out.
SYITG!
