So awesome! CrossFit is holding an event in Prescott, AZ to benefit the familes of the 19 fallen Hot Shots! Lots of amazing athletes will be there to compete and support the cause with all proceeds going to the families of the brave fallen Hot Shots, many who are fellow fire fighters! AND... the amazingly gorgeous, delicious, fittest man on the planet, 3-time CrossFit champion Rich Froning will be there! :love: {{{{SWOOOOON}}} It's ok y'all, my husband is well aware of my Rich Froning obession, actually he's the one that got me hooked on CrossFit to begin with! Being from AZ, with my parents living near Prescott, as well as having several fire fighter friends makes this event mean even more for me. Now living in Georgia, I am so jealous I can't be there to support & meet Rich of course:blushing: Below is a video of Dave Casto explaining the event and the link to donate! Everyone throw your money and support their way! :wink:

    We're doing it on Monday. I am hoping I can get to the box for it. It's going to suck, but I would still like to get in there and give my effort.

    It won't be pretty. That's for certain, but I am always stoked for Hero/Memorial WODs. You can't whine or complain during them since that's no way to honor anyone. Looking forward to a good beating.

    Done! That was brutal, but what an amazing thing. I truly hope the money raised helps their families.

    A SECOND time? :noway:

    Mine was 54:49 solo. There's no way I'd have been able to do it again. How was it split up as a partner WOD?

    Whenever the runner was back from the 400 they picked up from where your partner until you were done all 6 rounds.
