After looking at all the WOD entailed, I expected at least an hour to complete so I put out the challenge for a 5am WOD to kick the day off right. Until late in the evening there were no HC so I was prepared to roll solo. To share in the love 3 PAX joined to honor our firefighters.

PAX: Fridge, Skater, Sunspot (Q)

FIREFIGHTER HONOR RUCK WOD:

150 – 12″ box step-ups

100m Ruck Drag

50OH Ruck Press

100m Bear Crawl (ruck on)

150m Suitcase Carry

3 mile Ruck as fast as possible

MOLESKIN:

I always wanted to be a firefighter when I was a kid. Granted I think most kids want to do that. Now days there is no way I could stomach what they have to deal with on a daily basis. Hat’s off to the men and women who are out there fighting the good fight each and everyday to help the community. Here is how I looked at the WOD… The step-ups represent that looooong ladder that the firefighters have to take to save innocent people in a 10 story building. Sometimes we can’t carry the people out so we ‘ruck’ drag them out to safety. But when you can carry them, it takes shoulder strenght to ‘press’ them up onto your back. When their is smoke in the room, what did we learn in school??? Stop, drop, and roll. So we bearcrawled our way to find survivors. You carry gear on your back, but you sometimes have to carry another load of gear in so your “suitcase” comes in handy. And well, what would a ruck WOD be without some mileage, so we pounded out some distance. Time taken was 1hr 15min to complete this all.

Great push today Skater and it was great to see you out and catch up on life. I can definitely tell your spirits are significantly higher than they were before. God is good my friend. Fridge, great to have you with as this hopefully was a good release of stress and everything else going on in life. You were quiet but pushing hard, which is a good thing. I hope your back starts to feel better! God will give you strength through all that is upon you right now.

Thanks for working hard with me this morning guys! Only 4 more WOD’s to earn that patch. #GetSome

Until next time, Sunspot OUT!
