Hero month is upon us once again!
Much like the named ‘Girl’ WoDs, Hero WoDs are Benchmark workouts that are created by CrossFit HQ to honour certain men & women from all lines of public service from all parts of the world who tragically lost their lives in the line of duty doing their bit to preserve freedom in our society.
During the month of August you will be getting a good dose of some of the finest & hardest Hero WoDs from HQ.
So do yourself a favour & make sure you do you your best to keep yourselves in a recovered state.
Mobilise lots, eat & drink as cleanly as possible. Get in early to properly prepare. Stay back late to throughly cool down & cheer on the next class.
Lets enjoy the ride & see out this last month of winter in style!!
Today we start with a partner version of "Jerry". This one is a classic test of endurance. Sometimes in this one you can lost in your own headspace so to counter that (and raise the intensity) your will work as a pair. You will run TOGETHER. Leave the gym and return the gym at the same time. When on the rower you will split the load into 500m bursts. Drive that rower hard seeing as you are now effectively rowing 1000m not 2000. On that last run push each other to make it hurt that little bit more than you'd like to.
Oh, and there will be a little bit extra added to ensure you work together and a team. Come on in to find out what.
Hold the standards. Form is priority as always.
Scale as needed.
Stay Humble. Work Hard. Be Happy.
