Ran from the gym to Bittersweet park, home of the Weld County Veterans Memorial. Was planning on doing at home, but nice impromptu change.
PullUps were limiter with sets of 4 after 6 rounds. Feel stronger but did worse than previous years. Not sure if it was the skinny pull up bar, my PullUps naturally getting wider and more negativey, or if I need to lose weight.
Did MURPH prep workouts intermittently these past two months...not sure how much they helped. Glad MURPH seasons is over now.
First time ever doing murph after losing 91 lbs over the past year.
1 hr 2 mins 17 secs. No vest since I don’t have one.
Partitioned pull ups, push up and squats at 5-10-15 x20 rounds. Pull ups were banded pull ups. Hoping next year to lose the band.
Wow! Awesome work Nick.
Great job putting in the work!
Great work Nick. CF works brother!

"Wilmot"
Six rounds for time of:
50 Squats
25 Ring dips
As rx’d, 18:03 (PR).
This was a 3-minute PR from back in 2011. I remember that day – ring dips went away fast. Today, I attacked the squats, trying to get each round done in under a minute, and then paced the ring dips – mostly sets of 5. Did an opening set of 10 in rounds 1 and 2.

thanks for sharing 6535. Gave that a swing. Ended up raining hard + pull up bar in dirt so got good and dirty to boot.
37:32 Rx. Those burpee pull-ups are a slog!
Well done everyone with whatever hero wod you tackled and most importantly, thanks to all our heroes & servicepeople. It’s an honor to do these WODs.

Great work today and for opening and closing with hero WODs this weekend! You spanked the hell out of me on Murph this year. Many thanks for sharing 6535, gonna have to put that on my 'to do' list for WODs!
Thanks, y’all. Happy to share, Scotty. “Slog” is a great way to describe burpee pull-ups (especially in the rain!). Hope y’all had a great weekend.

Slowest time yet, but not surprised. Just didn't have much gas in the tank today and my legs were still sore from Murph on 230526. BS still unbroken, and runs weren't terribly slow, but transitions were long today. Grateful to have suffered this today. Like Chris said "GOODNIGHT, SWEET LEGS".
To 1LT Travis Manion and all other service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice: Thank you and RIP, we have the watch.
Great work, Lincoln. Double hero workouts is a great way to open and close Memorial Day weekend.

Good choice!
Are we gonna do this every year? HQ's list shows 208 named WODs, and includes Kelly Brown, Lorenzo, and Eva Strong, not "heroes" in the traditional sense of being servicemen, servicewomen, or first responders/law enforcement.
There are 2 additional Hero WODs, for some reason not included:

Kalsu was offered a deferment as a professional football player, but opted to honor his commitment to serve in the military.

Globo wod: most do "Murph" today so that's the one we're looking at. If you have access to a park pullup bar or a bar in a Globo gym do this as Rxed. Can't kip on the bar, because you're using a door chin up bar? Partition into sets of 3/6/9, 33 rounds, with one round being 4/8/12. If you are using a conventional treadmill for the mile runs use a slight incline. Sub 120 calories assault or echo bike, or 2000m row for runs if subbing. If you're somewhere without a pullup bar available today do "Loredo" (24 lunges, 24 pushups, 24 squats, run 400m).
Now if you're someone who is picking "DT" today because you love the barbell do either heavy (205/145lbs) or double DT today. Scale to regular DT if you're max clean and jerk is sub 225/155.
Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Just gonna copy this one from last year.
NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE
Randy - lose the timer, use an empty bar if needed, and work on your technique. By the end of the workout you'll have HPS down to where you can do them consistently in any workout I can think of
JUST GET THROUGH SOMETHING UNINJURED SCALE

Coffland. 19:55 as rx'd
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: Most of these that I've done I'd consider an 8. Just get through it is good enough, if they're in your wheelhouse you can push more, but the volume usually still forces rests.
Randy is one of my favorite workouts, not just b/c I can do it rx, but b/c Randy was such a fantastic person. Read about him…you’ll be inspired, and sad he’s not with us any more.
DItto Jim! My legs just were not going to let me double up today after Manion.
Chris, great idea to just copy last year's notes. You are so right about Manion. Good work on Coffland!
