Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we honor Eva Mireles, 44, who died on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, while shielding her fourth-grade students from a gunman at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Mireles’ co-teacher, Irma Garcia, and 19 students were also killed in the shooting. Mireles was in her 17th year of teaching in the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, and held certifications in special education and bilingual education. In addition to regularly running before school, she also enjoyed hiking. Friends and relatives recall she could be found in her CrossFit gym almost every day after school. In 2022, she participated in the CrossFit Open for the ninth time.

Eva Strong is a partner workout where each athlete completes 24 double-unders, then works with their partner to split 19 toes-to-bars and 2 clean and jerks before running together. Each round should take less than 5 minutes to complete. To account for fatigue later in the workout, aim to keep the first few rounds under 4 minutes.

Scale the volume and load so each movement takes no more than 1 minute to complete. This should leave approximately 2:00-2:30 for the run while keeping the overall round time under 5 minutes. Scale the double-unders to single-unders or penguin taps, and reduce the range of motion on the toes-to-bars. The goal is to maintain steady movement, efficient transitions, and consistent pacing throughout the workout.
