R.I.P daniel Crabtree, thanks for everything!

(just now read paragraph)

Dan,

I will say a prayer for your family tonight.

Bury Me With Soldiers
(author Unknown)

I've played a lot of roles in life;
I've met a lot of men,
I've done a lot of things
I'd like to think I wouldn't do
again.
And though I'm young, I'm old
enough
To know someday I'll die.
And to think about what lies
beyond,
Beside whom I would lie.

Perhaps it doesn't matter much;
Still if I had my choice,
I'd want a grave 'amongst Soldiers
when At last death quells my
voice.
I'm sick of the hypocrisy
Of lectures of the wise.
I'll take the man, with all the flaws,
Who goes, though scared, and
dies.

The troops I knew were
commonplace
They didn't want the war;
They fought because their fathers
and Their fathers had before.
They cursed and killed and wept...
God knows They're easy to
deride...
But bury me with men like these;
They faced the guns and died.

It's funny when you think of it,
The way we got along.
We'd come from different worlds
To live in one where no one
belongs,
I didn't even like them all;
I'm sure they'd all agree.
Yet I would give my life for them,
I know some did for me.

So bury me with soldiers, please,
Though much maligned they be.
Yes, bury me with soldiers,
for I miss their company.
We'll not soon see their likes
again;
We've had our fill of war.
But bury me with men like them
Till someone else does more

Godspeed, Daniel. Our prayers are with you and your family.

To Daniel, his famliy, his friends and all the other warriors that help keep us safe.

Into thy hands , O Lord, we commend the soul of thy servant Daniel, and ask thee to grant him rest in the place of thy rest where the light of thy countenance shines forever.

"All Gave Some, Some Gave All"
Daniel: rest now and may God bless you. I also pray that your family finds peace during this great loss.

RIP SGT Dan.. You are in my prayers and thoughts...

Sending prayers to Daniel for his passage... and to his friends and family, and all the other people that will feel the loss. May you find strength in your memories.

I love it when the WOD is dedicated to a fallen member of the Crossfit community. It is evidence that the wikipedia article is off base--the site, at it's heart, is not about pushing right wing politics, but is about the people and the community we form.

Thank You for your service Dan. Peace be with your family.

To Daniel and his comrades who secure freedom for not only this country, but for this world with their every breath. I will give my guts on this workout, for you.

Kathy and Mallory, our thoughts are with you.

Oh me, this looks like a gooder.

To Daniel's family and those whose lives he touched, I am sorry for your loss!

Thanks for the background info. The ripple effect of his passing is great indeed.

RIP in Sgt. Prayer for your Wife and Daughter.

RIP Daniel. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Kathy, and Mallory.

God bless you Daniel, and your family.

so tomorrow is my first WOD.. (ive mastered the warmup...) now what is the easiest way to determine how far you're running in Meters... like say I leave the gym to go run outside for 400M... can anyone explain? THANKS!

Godspeed Daniel!

I'm a Canadian. Why is his flag flipped? Shouldn't the stars be on the left?

Just wondering if it's just a mistake or a military issue.

Damn.

Thank you my man. My wife, daughter and I cherish the freedom and democracy for which you fought. My condolences to Daniel's family and friends.

Thanks for the memorial CF - nice touch.

I will find something extra for tomorrow's WOD as my small and insignificant tribute to SFC Dan... my sorrow for him and those who love him is deep and as a SFC in this man's Army myself, I have lost a comrade. God bless you and keep you and prayers to family. I am grateful that I can do a WOD and it is because of all of our fighting men and women that I can. So I will.

Dan:

I pray your legacy will shine on in your children and your devotion to duty and honor will be rewarded richly as you stare into the face of the Almighty as He says "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter now into thy rest."

See ya soon, brother!

Stan K, the flag is not flipped, we wear the flag on our right shoulder with the stars forward as it would appear if it were leading us into battle with a flag bearer in front of us. Daniel just has it on his body armor.

Godspeed, Daniel. Here are the words to Taps:

Day is done,
gone the sun,
From the hills,
from the lake,
From the skies.
All is well,
safely rest,
God is nigh.

Go to sleep,
peaceful sleep.
May the soldier
or sailor,
God keep.
On the land
or the deep,
Safe in sleep.

Thanks and praise,
For our days,
'Neath the sun,
Neath the stars,
'Neath the sky,
As we go,
This we know,
God is nigh.

When I logged in today I expected to jump right in and start working on nutrition and fitness.

Then I read about Daniel; we post ideas, argue and debate methods, help each other out, but right now it seems so small and insignificant.

I do not know you Daniel, but I appreciate what you have done for me. My words don’t even express how I feel towards you.

Peace to you brother!

Griff

My condolences and prayers to Daniels family. Words cannot express my appreciation for Daniels hard work and sacrifice.

Thank you Daniel. Thank you Kathy and Mallory. My family is deeply in gratitude for your sacrifice. We will use the opportunity Daniel and all the fallen heros of our armed forces have given us to be happy and to leave our country and world far better than we found it.

This will be another special WOD.

I love the WODs that include cardio ... waking up at the crack of dawn to jump start my day!

Daniel -Thank you for all you have done. Godspeed to you.

Kathy and Mallory- I am deeply sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Best wishes, love, and respect from the SSDK9 Team.

The only thing I dont like seeing on CF is when something happens to our troops its posted.

BUT IT HAS TO BE DONE!

We should honor our fallen hero's the best we can and this is a really really good way to do that. Thank you CF and our troops for serving, it just breaks my heart to hear sad news. My thoughts and Prayers are with Daniel and his family, And also our troops. Be safe, git-r-dun, and come home soon and do some crossfit!

My heart goes out to the Crabtree family.

Agree with the other Mike #29 -- times like this give perspective on what's really important. Daniel's sacrifice helps give us all our own personal soapbox -- here on these boards, at Wikipedia, DD, T-nation, and wherever freedom of expression prevails.

R.I.P. Daniel.

That sucks.

It makes a lot of everything seem so unimportant.

I'll really push through this one for you, Dan. Hopefully the gain I get from pushing that little harder today and your sacrifice for the freedom I have will allow me to pay forward what you have started.

To Daniels family. I did not know you, but I wish I had. Daniel gave everything he had so that the rest of us could remain and give other's the chance to be free. Do not take your freedom lightly. It is because of people like Daniel that we can lives and go about our daily routines without worry or fear. May we all say a pray for Daniel, his family and other fallen brothers and sisters. God Speed!

We have only died in vain if you believe so;
You must decide the wisdom of our choice,
By the world that you shall build upon our headstones,
And the everlasting truths which have your voice.

Currahee Scrapbook, 1945. 506th PIR

God Bless brother.

Thank you Daniel for your service and sacrifice in the face of our enemies hate and fanaticism. The best thanks I can give to you and all the fallen is to live my life fully and without fear. Your namesake WOD represents a way of doing that. Peace.

#29, #35 Amen.

My heart goes out to his family.

De Oppresso Liber, indeed.

Thank you Daniel.

Sorry 'bout the second comment so soon, but should I be doing overhanded or underhanded pull-ups?

Our thoughts and prayers are with Daniel and his family. Rest in peace bro.

My thoughts and prayers are with Daniel, his family and friends.

Thank you Daniel. May God Bless Kathy and Mallory. We are a greatful nation. The world is a better place because of Daniel Crabtree.

They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old, age shall not weary them nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we shall remember them.

Lest we forget.

My condolences to Daniels friends and family.

I agree on how it sounds almost silly to ask questions or make remarks about the WOD.

Prayers out to SFC Crabtree's family.
and thank you for living up to the motto: "De Opresso Libre"

Our thoughts and prayers are w/you and yours Daniel. Gods speed and rest easy brother, for we have the watch!

Thoughts, prayers and gratitude for Daniel, his family and his brothers- and sisters-in-arms.

Young Fellow My Lad

"Where are you going, Young Fellow My Lad,
On this glittering morn of May?"
"I'm going to join the Colours, Dad;
They're looking for men, they say."
"But you're only a boy, Young Fellow My Lad;
You aren't obliged to go."
"I'm seventeen and a quarter, Dad,
And ever so strong, you know."
. . . . .
"So you're off to France, Young Fellow My Lad,
And you're looking so fit and bright."
"I'm terribly sorry to leave you, Dad,
But I feel that I'm doing right."
"God bless you and keep you, Young Fellow My Lad,
You're all of my life, you know."
"Don't worry. I'll soon be back, dear Dad,
And I'm awfully proud to go."
. . . . .
"Why don't you write, Young Fellow My Lad?
I watch for the post each day;
And I miss you so, and I'm awfully sad,
And it's months since you went away.
And I've had the fire in the parlour lit,
And I'm keeping it burning bright
Till my boy comes home; and here I sit
Into the quiet night."
. . . . .
"What is the matter, Young Fellow My Lad?
No letter again to-day.
Why did the postman look so sad,
And sigh as he turned away?
I hear them tell that we've gained new ground,
But a terrible price we've paid:
God grant, my boy, that you're safe and sound;
But oh I'm afraid, afraid."
. . . . .
"They've told me the truth, Young Fellow My Lad:
You'll never come back again:
(OH GOD! THE DREAMS AND THE DREAMS I'VE HAD,
AND THE HOPES I'VE NURSED IN VAIN!)
For you passed in the night, Young Fellow My Lad,
And you proved in the cruel test
Of the screaming shell and the battle hell
That my boy was one of the best.

"So you'll live, you'll live, Young Fellow My Lad,
In the gleam of the evening star,
In the wood-note wild and the laugh of the child,
In all sweet things that are.
And you'll never die, my wonderful boy,
While life is noble and true;
For all our beauty and hope and joy
We will owe to our lads like you."

Robert Service

Daniel,

Your service and sacrifice humbles, inspires, and strengthens. Your family is in our prayers. Rest in Peace. De Opresso Liber!

Special Forces Prayer

Almighty GOD, Who art the Author of Liberty and the Champion of the Oppressed, hear our prayer.

We, the men of Special Forces, acknowledge our dependence upon Thee in the preservation of human freedom.

Go with us as we seek to defend the defenseless and to free the enslaved.

May we ever remember that our Nation, whose motto is "In God We Trust", expects that we shall acquit ourselves with honor, that we may never bring shame upon our faith, our families, or our fellow men.

Grant us wisdom from Thy mind, courage from Thine heart, strength from Thine arm, and protection by Thine hand.

It is for Thee that we do battle, and to Thee belongs the victor's crown.

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever.

AMEN

Thank you for your service Daniel. You will not be forgotten.

Condolences to all who have lost a loved one.

SFC Crabtree gave all he had like so many others over here.

To our Canadian friend: The flag field is "backwards" because it is a military issue patch. It is typically worn on the right shoulder and is reversed so as to appear as fluttering in the breeze when the soldier walks forward.

Dan, I will miss you with all my heart. You were a dear friend. I promise that you will live on in the hearts and minds of all the men of Bravo Company.

Dearest Crossfit Community,

Your kind words and tribute to Dan have overwhelmed us.

Dan didn't post on Cross-Fit, he was a stick-and-move kinda guy. Just before he died he was not only running on missions and training an Iraqi police SWAT team, and blasting through his own workouts & wing chun gung fu. . . he was also coaching a Non-Qual (non-SF qualified soldier) who was getting ready to go to Selection. Dan did not have the longest of legs, but he was a Ruck March machine. His "newbie" (the guy he was coaching) marches on to Selection next. The next generation of Green Beret will not only have the honor of having Rucked with Dan, I believe he'll have Dan next to him through Selection, the Course, and missions to come. As we all will.

I can't speak for the others here, but I cryed like a baby when I saw what Tenacious "D" and Coach had come up with for a tribute. I cried even more as I read the comments. Thank you, CrossFit. From our hearts and souls, Thank you.

Thank you Daniel Crabtree. Thank you to all you put your life on the line and sacrifice so that we may enjoy the great blessings of freedom. May we always remember the warriors, whether alive or dead, that stand between us and evil.
God's speed.

De Oppresso Liber

I am a doctor on active duty in the US Navy. I first heard of crossfit a few weeks ago from a patient - a SEAL - who had recovered from a major illness. He described how he had used CROSSFIT to get himself back into elite shape in a matter of weeks to prepare for an upcoming deployment. Intrigued, I checked the site out and am now a full blown crossfit addict. I in turn told several friends who considered themselves to be in great shape, who now like me, spend most of their days hobbling around on sore legs but swear to "never go back" to more conventional workouts. Unfortunately the young man who inspired me has a long road ahead, but his energy and enthusiasm keeps a growing network of us going. Keep him in your prayers

Godspeed Daniel, though you are no more...

"So it goes."

Everyone should read "Slaughterhouse Five" before they get too heavy into war. The unbridled horror of the lost and inhumanity of war is chastening...

Lost= loss

May GOD bless Daniel's family and friends.
We are free because of the brave.

R.I.P. Daniel. God be with you.

Daniel,

Thank you for your service. Rest now brave warrior, we your brothers and sisters in arms will hold true. This evil will not prevail; freedom WILL triumph.

To Kathy, Mallory, and all who have lost loved ones, friends, and comrades, my prayers go up for you. Your losses are mourned. May you find peace in the days ahead.

To those who have answered duty's call and returned broken or scarred, my thanks and prayers go up for you. You are the living reminder of the cost of freedom.

To all who stand in the line - I march forward with you! Stay safe and return home soon...

Semper Fidelis,
Chris

In case anyone wants to scale for BWT, 95 # is 54% of 175. Since weighing 225 I'll be going with 120 today.

Just a thought! Pain is a sign of weakness leaving the body, today's workout should amplify that sentiment.

Hey Dan, it's been a week since you've passed. We love you very much and you'll never be forgotten. You can rest asure that we'll get those that dared to raise their hands upon the regiment. R.I.P- your brothers will make sure that your family is taken care of.

Letter to Mrs. Bixby

Executive Mansion,
Washington, Nov. 21, 1864.

Dear Madam,--

I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

A. Lincoln

God bless our soldiers.

Tough way to start a morning - subbed 65# thrusters and did last set of pullups as jumping - 40 minutes flat. Happy its over with!

De Oppresso Liber, brother

One of the monuments in D.C. dedicated to another American hero (like Daniel) reads "in life he honored the flag, in death the flag shall honor him." Daniel honored our flag, in life and death, and when he is laid to rest, the flag shall then honor him w/ military honors.

And so do I and all others like him. Will be thinking of you all when I dig deep to finish this one today. Thought about taking a easy day today, because I feel beat down, but not anymore.

It's a honor to serve.

Thank you Daniel Crabtree my prayers are with you and your wife and daughter.Thanks crossfit for letting us know who the real hero's are that allow us to presue our day to day lifes.

What exactly is the difference between thrusters & push press'? From going to the exercises section it just looks like when doing a thruster you do a complete squat & in a push press you only go down enough to engage your legs to help lift the weight. Is this correct or am I missing something?

God's Peace and Grace be with you Dan. And to your family.

It has been well said already, but add one name to the grateful. Dan and Kathy chose to serve - he to serve and protect, she to teach; and together they answered the call to send him to protect strangers at a staggering cost. What words could comfort? To Tenacious D and Sgt Feather, who so often help us never to forget, and to all who serve, thank you. My family honors you all. "I am convinced that neither death nor life. . .nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." May God protect, comfort and honor you.

I think I may have a strained shoulder ligament from the kipping pull ups, maybe I'm bottoming out too hard and it is stretching more than what it is used too. I think I will check the message boards for others who have experienced this.

Prayers to you and your family Daniel!

You know I was bitching and moaning last night about how "hard" the WOD was and how I got a "Charlie Horse" in my thigh from not using proper form. Then I woke up and read todays WOD and who it is dedicated to...
I have no room to bitch, I have no room to moan, I have no room to do anything but take my life, my opportunity, and live it to the fullest the way SFC Crabtree lived his. I will look into the eyes of my children and loved ones with a special light today, knowing Daniel can only see his from Heaven and thanking him for the opportunity. We will push hard in todays WOD with the tenacity that our heros lived by.

I thank GOD for these people. (yes I said GOD and thanks to them I can!!) To the men and women I have lived with and who have died along side me, I was proud to be your commerade and I would gladly have taken your place, I thank you for taking mine....

Godspeed Daniel and your family. I will do this WOD with a tear in my eye.

I pray for Dan and his family. These losses test my sanity every day.

Tristram #67 : "So it goes" is hardly appropriate for today.
I love Kurt Vonnegut, but I'm sure he would object to being quoted so glibly on this occasion. It's like a few others who applaud the 'inspirational' nature of Crossfit's hommages to the fallen with "love it when..."
I don't love it, and I think there are plenty of days when your main goal should be not being a smartass.
Can you do that WOD, Tristram?

I believe Daniel is happier now, not least in the secure knowledge that he lived and died honorably. I pray daily that God grant me the strength to live with all the nobility of which I am capable, and the relentlessness to follow his Will, regardless of the consequences, and regardless specifically of the pain I may endure. I believe CrossFit helps me in this, and I also look to models such as Daniel as examples of what is possible.

I hope as well that Kathy and Mallory are able to keep in mind that God has a plan for them as well, and that great wisdom often comes from great sorrow.

I will do this workout at my earliest opportunity, and to the best of my ability.

In the memory of a fine soldier.

Great workout to remember you by!!!!

Thank you for your sacrifice Daniel. Regardless of our individual stances on the war, (I think) we all respect the sacrifices of those in harm's way.

Godspeed SFC Crabtree, may you find peace.
Here's to Crossfit, many more WODs, no more names to use. Prosit. Very Respectfully BM1 (SWCC/SW) Robert D. Taylor Jr. USN

Tristram, I agree with your sentiments. HOWEVER, TODAY IS NOT THE DAY TO EXPRESS THOSE SENTIMENTS!!!!!!

Two thoughts come to mind:
1. If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.
2. Showing a little respect will go a long way.
I hope my post is last for the day relating to “politics” and all further comments are re-pointed to the task at hand, reverence and respect for a fallen comrade and a tough looking workout.

Although I never met Daniel, my deepest condolences go out to his friends and family. From what I have read about him today, he has touched many lives and his passing has left a void in the many hearts he has touched.
His legacy shall live on.
Rest in Peace Daniel Crabtree

I pray for Daniel's family and give thanks for people like Daniel.

"Sgt. 1st Class Daniel B. Crabtree, 31, of Canton, Ohio, died in Al Kut, Iraq, on June 8, of injuries sustained when an improvised explosive device detonated near his HMMWV during combat operations. Crabtree was assigned to the Army National Guard's 2nd Battalion,19th Special Forces Group, Columbus, Ohio."

I've always "Backed the Blue". A true hero has fallen. I weep. Another hero lost at the hands of our cowardly insurgent enemy.

We live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all gods.

This I declare, that he alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I am trusting him. For he rescues you from every trap and protects you from the fatal plague. He will shield you with his wings! They will shelter you. His faithful promises are your armor. Now you don't need to be afraid of the dark any more, nor fear the dangers of the day; nor dread the plagues of darkness, nor disasters in the morning.

Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying around me, the evil will not touch me. I will see how the wicked are punished, but I will not share it. For Jehovah is my refuge! I choose the God above all gods to shelter me. How then can evil overtake me or any plague come near? For he orders his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will steady you with their hands to keep you from stumbling against the rocks on the trail. You can safely meet a lion or step on poisonous snakes, yes, even trample them beneath your feet!

For the Lord says, "Because he loves me, I will rescue him; I will make him great because he trusts in my name. When he calls on me, I will answer; I will be with him in trouble and rescue him and honor him. I will satisfy him with a full life and give him my salvation."

Even though I am not a super religious guy, I read PSALM 91 "Soldiers Prayer" often.

Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines, these are not just words, please capitalize our earned titles.

Coach,
"Wikipedia" just to let you know, since joining crossfit, over a year now, I have accomplished the following;

Deadlift 225 to 345 - and increasing
Squat Clean 155 to 205 - and increasing
Hang Squat Clean 135 to 195 - and increasing
Push Press 205 - and increasing
I can now clean & jerk, over head squat and HSPUs.

I am 35 and have been working out since I was15 yrs old. I was introduced to Crossfit by a Des Moines PD officer with Fight Gone Bad, I was sold right there. As a result, I've introduced Xfit to others with great success. I have made major accomplishments. Not only in the WOD but in my life. Thanks to Crossfit.

God bless our Soldiers and their families. I will say a prayer for Daniel Crabtree and his family tonight.

all weights as RX'd but all sets broken.

my runs feel OK, around 1:20 for the 400s and around 2:45 for the 800, but i can't keep it together for the PUs and the Thrusters.

i don't know if i should run slower to keep my heart rate down, possibly allowing me to take fewer breaks during the Thrusters and PUs (i lost a lot of time during the Thrusters and the last set of PUs) or to just wait for my strength/conditioning to get to where it needs to be so that i can complete this workout within a reasonable period of time the next time it rolls around.

regardless, this workout packed a punch... but when don't they?

In the spirit of "truth is stranger than fiction," When I hit the gym today the towel number I was given was "955," Dan's Team's number. I was suffering the whole way, but there was no way I was going to quit.

As I wrapped up this special WOD, Motley Crue's "Home Sweet Home" began to play on my iPod. I wept uncontrollably.

Thank you, CrossFit and thank you to all CrossFitters that took the time to honor my fallen comrade. This really meant a lot to us. I know I speak for all of the men of Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 19th Special Forces (Airborne) when I say that we will be forever grateful to you for this show of support. You are why we do it. You keep us in the fight. Live well for Dan and keep his memory alive. Pray for strength and comfort for Kathy and Mallory.

Thank you Sgt 1st Class Crabtree. I pray my efforts today be worthy of the price you paid, and though I know they never will be, I will try to use wisely the freedom you have purchased. Thank you.

THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.

Bless Sergeant Daniel and all those who go in harm's way for others.

To Daniel and family nothing said will take away the pain but know that there are those who support you.

I wanted to pass on information for a service my previous boss is offering to all the families of the fallen heros. He has offered his talents as an artist to draw the portaits of all those that have been killed in Iraq, free of charge. He is a Vietnam vet, so can sympathize with those that are left behind. He can be reached via his website at http://michaelgreaganartist.com/FallenHero.htm

My condolences to Daniel's family and their loss. May we always remember the sacrifices of our soldiers and, most importantly, why.

I hope Tristam's (#67) quote of "Slaughterhouse Five" - ("so it goes") reflects the mind-numbing horror of war that cannot be rationally understood, and in which case all things said and written ring hollow - especially in light of Vonnegut's experience with the Dresden firebombing during WW2.

35:34 - all sets broken - all pullups with hands wrapped - so slipped off early and often when kipping.

My thoughts and prayer for Daniel's family --
This I found the night my father died --
Ps.21 1b-4 How great is his joy in the victories you give! 2 You have granted him the desire of his heart and have not withheld the request of his lips.
3 You welcomed him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 He asked you for life, and you gave it to him—
length of days, for ever and ever.

It's all politics and TV sound bites until you log into Crossfit and see actual people with families and communities who love them and will miss them. The depth of his sacrifice humbles me.

My condolences go out to Kathy and Mallory and all the other friends and family during this tough time. Rest In Peace Daniel thank you for all you have done. I also would like to say thank you to all the other troops fighting day in and day out.

Downside of working out at home - doorbell rang 5 pull-ups into the last set so wasnt able to finish

20:10, estimate would have been 24:30 if complete

95# Thrusters to 12" box, soooo much tougher energy-suck wise than when I wasn't using box before.

Too funny that I'm actually catching my breath during the 1/4 and 1/2 mile runs too...

Ben: 20:13 (did distances on elliptical because of f-ed up meniscus)

Dan, Semper Fi. I know there's a spot guarding the streets up there for you.

Ode to a Warrior:

I have no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter. I know how strongly civilization leans on the triumph of the Government, and how great the debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and suffering of all wars: great and small. I am willing-perferctly-to lay down all my joys in this life, to help maintain the peace. If I do not return form the battlefield, never forget my dear that I loved you, and when my last breath escapes me on the battlefield, it will whisper your name. If I should die I hope the dead can come back to the earth and flit unseen around those they love, I shall always be near you: in the gladdest days and in the darkest nights. If there is a soft breeze upon your cheeck, it wil be my breath, as cool air fans your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirt passing by, and do not mourn me dead, think that I am just waiting for you and we shall meet again.

Runs done on treadmill at (hopefully) a road simulating incline.

All pull-ups done with pronated grip, all kipped.

Forgot to use a butt ball for thrusters but all reps were nice and deep.

As others have so aptly expressed, there really are no words to express the deep gratitude that is felt for the sacifice that SFC Daniel Crabtree made in the service of this great country in which we live. May God recieve your soul into heaven and a joyous celebration commence in your honor. To the Crabtree family, may the God of all heaven and earth take you into his arms and comfort you in your time of loss.

Thank you Lord for all of those who have, who will and who are willing to make this sacrifice for freedom.

Hi to all you CFers. This is our first workout with CF. I herd of this site from a friend and started to check it out. I did have some skeptizism about CF, but after todays WOD I am a believer. I must also give a huge hand to my girlfriend who helped motivate me to getting back to being fit. This was her first WOD and she says she is alot more out of shape than she thought. For myself it was a serious gut check getting back to being fit. Our times are below.

Did BrandX's Buttercup version with 15# the first set and 25# the second. Pullups were done on Gravitron set at -70#. Runs were done on TM with no incline.

I'm really in awe at the times people turn in. Today's WOD took me 42 minutes. As usual I struggled with doing 50 pullups without a break. I'm rehabing a broken left clavicle and used an 80lb barbell for the thruster, which was a personal best for me. Still, this was just d..n hard.

As rx'd: 35:02

24:30 as required.

To those who don't know why Daniel's flag is backward; We wear it that way to represent the flag going into combat. If the soldier runs forward, the flag would fly backwards. I appreciate your sacrifice Daniel, and the flag tells all why he died.. for our freedom. Rest in Peace Sgt. Dan

So tonight was my first Official Crossfit WOD... I struggled with pullups a bit but after I hit failure on both sets of them... I went to the Gravitron to finish off the rest... And instead of treadmill I also subbed in the elliptical. Not gonna lie, this was a very tough workout for me... I also used 65Lbs for the thrusters... Just trying to get a feel... I will honestly say, Ive never SWEAT as much as I did after that workout.. EVER. However, my muscles didnt feel extremely sore after the workout, but my sweating was out of this world.. Am I still working the muscles very hard if the soreness isnt there as much say a Bodybuilding Workout? Thanks a lot... I'd appreciate some comments/tips...

WOD- 34:21... Weak I know... but first day!!!

Tore two callouses during my last 15 pulls...stopped and taped...that was worse. Threw off the tape, finished the pulls.

Reminder to me to shave the callouses and take care of my hands like a smart person would.

25:44

More importantly than my post in 307...was why this workout was done today: not for me and my time, but rather, for in memory of someone who gave much more. My silly little callous tears are just that...silly stuff that don't matter. The real stuff is dying for your country. My best to the family.

Nothing I could say could express what is in my heart for Daniel's family. It has all been said above more beautifully than I could ever say it. It is news like this that makes those of us with family in Iraq and elsewhere go to our knees in prayer even more faithfully. Thank you Daniel, for your sacrifice, and thank you Kathy and baby Mallory. You will be in our constant prayers. May God give you the grace you need in the days ahead.

A.E. Housman: To an Athlete Dying Young

The time you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.

To-day, the road all runners come,
Shoulder high-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.

Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay
And early though the laurel grows
It whithers quicker than the rose.

Eyes the shady night has shut
Cannot see the record cut,
And silence sounds no worse than cheers
After earth has stopped the ears:

Now you will not swell the rout
of lads that wore their honours out,
Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man.

So set, before its echos fade,
The fleet foot on the sill of shade,
And hold to the low lintel up
The still-defended challenge-cup.

And round that early-laurelled head
Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girl's.

Many great posts today - much to reflect on.
Daniel Crabtree, RIP. Our prayers to you and to your family.

I think I have some questions for you already. sounds like it might be intense- what if I cant do the movement? or enough to make it count? Then what? Catch me there and be sure to show me~ thanks again~~!!

Blessings and prayers for Daniel Crabtree's family and unending thanks for the great price our guardians pay. We will continue to pray their continued triumphs till victory is freedom everywhere.
It is not the critic:
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or when the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worth cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.

Almighty GOD, Who art the Author of liberty
and the Champion of the oppressed, hear our prayer.

We, the men of Special Forces, acknowledge our dependence upon Thee in the preservation of human freedom.

Go with us as we seek to defend the defenseless and to free the enslaved.

May we ever remember that our nation, whose motto is “In God We Trust”, expects that we shall acquit
ourselves with honor, that we may never bring shame upon our faith, our families, or our fellow men.

Grant us wisdom from Thy mind, courage from Thine
heart, strength from Thine arm, and protection by Thine hand.

It is for Thee that we do battle, and to Thee belongs the victor’s crown.

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever. AMEN

On Memorial Day, when I explained to my 5 year old girl that it was a day to honor those people who had fought and died to keep our country safe and free, she asked whether there would always be enough soldiers to fight the bad guys. I told her there would; that she didn't have to worry because this country is the greatest in the world and there are plenty of people who are willing to stand up and fight the bad guys.

I am sorry, Kathy and Mallory for your terrible loss. Gabriella and I will pray for you and Daniel tonight.

There will never be enough we can do to thank our war veterans. Or for the family that has lost a member that served.
Thank you to Crossfit for giving the recongition to those that defend this country.

Started doing the "puppies" modification of this from BrandX, but on the fourth thruster, I pulled my lower back pretty badly. Bad form, I guess, but really it was already giving me warning signs and I probably shouldn't have started the workout at all. I guess now I have to take some real time off -- just what I don't want to do.

To Daniel and his family, no one could ever thank you enough for what you have given to our country.

a beautiful day in michigan so i decided to drive up the shore until i found this little park no one was there and it was perfect

50 pu's broken
ran 500 down stairs across beach back up stairs across a bridge
21 20lb medicine ball toss go from squat to throw as high as i can

As post #381 or 382, most of you will not see this. But for those that do, please know this -

that before I begin my hockey skills camp here in Boston, I gather my players together and say a prayer thanking God and the brave men and women in our military who have given us this freedom.

Tonight, I will do it once again. And at 7:10pm EST, there will be 15 heads bowed in thanks to SFC Daniel Crabtree as well.

God Speed, Daniel. We DO NOT forget!

RIP Daniel and profound sympathies to the Crabtree family.

85# thrusters, otherwise as rx'd.

25:12 including six up/down stairs transitions of 0:30 to 0:40 each (jogged).

Another cardio blast! Pull-ups felt weaker than they did a few days ago, looking forward to a rest recovery.

20:59-
My thighs were fried after the hang squat cleans yesterday, and I had to run slowly, and go broken sets on the thrusters.

As stated earlier, I pushed as hard as I could out of reverence for Daniel...

16:37 as RX'd

Crossfit day 5, BW 294

Subbed 25 100# pulldowns and 65# thrusters. It got real ugly. Took about 34 minutes and couldn't make the bar go down anymore after 5 on the last pulldown set. Shoulder joints really don't like this barbell stuff. Hope that goes away instead of getting worse.

I just got back from Hawaii and made it a point to pay my respects at The Arizona Memorial and the Punchbowl Cemetery. 2nd time for both. I've
also been to Gettysburg twice and Arlington twice. One day I hope to be able to visit our troops at Normandy.
What draws me to these places? Awe and Reverence.
To Daniel, thank you. Join your Brothers and Sisters...and watch over us.

Daniel - humbled by his sacrifice.

hey tenacious d,
Since you're probably one of the few reading this :) Your post didn't link to your e-mail address and I'd love to send care packages to your crossfit group. Please e-mail me so I can get the proper address and I'll send you Koolaid and sunscreen and phone cards and books and anything else you want. :)

32:12. Set a PR on the first set of pullups of 18, 19 if I'm generous (I couldn't see my chin), which isn't bad for a 39 year old, 240 pound man. I just said: "let's bring it on", and got hyped. I didn't figure Daniel would want a pussy effort, but I surprised myself. I was grunting like max deadlift efforts on each of the last 5 reps. A lot of it was mental.

I did one extra pullup at the end. I paused after the 50, said a prayer for Daniel, his family, all of the soldiers and families involved in war around the world, and for final victory. Then I punched it as hard as I could. It felt good.

Only 25 pullups on each end; used 75# for thrusters.

Scaled pullups b/c I was short on time; scaled thrusters b/c I'm weak. Next time will be as Rx'ed.

Pullups assisted by 40 lbs and kipping, run/walk on treadmill @ 1% incline, thrusters as RX'd. All sets broken. Tough workout, I still feel like crap. Good news is I pushed myself and had good form, bad news is I suck and it took me > 40 minutes.

My words seem insignificant, but RIP Daniel.

I knew SFC Daniel Crabtree (just Dan then) back at Lake High School, good guy then, it shows even better with age. Condolences to Dan's family.
Nice touch with the named workout.
I expected to jump on the site today to gather some more ideas for my excercises...didn't expect to see Dan's picture. A smaller world these days with the internet.
Thanks to all the servicemen and women!

20min

25 dumbells for thrusters

Can anyone reading this honestly do 50 pullups in a row with no help from a machine? Am I supposed to use a machine to help with the reps?

I knew Daniel in life. He was very strong and determined. Me and my family thank him for fighting for the freedoms that we so readily take for granted. Kathy my families tears are with you. Kathy, I know Dan choose you for a wife and mother of his child because of your strength. No words can begin to dull the pain you must feel. So we give you support and comfort untill the wound begins to heal.

In Daniel's memory: 29:50.
