Ten PAX posted in City Park to get their Wednesday off to a good start. On the heels of Memorial Day, YHC thought it would be fitting to incorporate a Hero WOD, especially for those of us that missed The Murph days before. Here’s what went down:

Mosey to the practice track for a quick warmup consisting of SSH, IPW, WM, and AC. Then YHC filled the crew in on who Loredo was:

U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Edwardo Loredo, 34, of Houston, Texas, assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, based in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, was killed on June 24, 2010 in Jelewar, Afghanistan, when insurgents attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device. He is survived by his wife, First Sergeant Jennifer Loredo; his daughter, Laura Isabelle; his stepdaughter, Alexis; and his son, Eduardo Enrique.

The Thang: Loredo WOD, push hard, AYG, check your time at the end, boomer friendly tunes played for added motivation.

  • 6 Rounds For Time
  • 24 Air Squats
  • 24 Push-Ups
  • 24 Walking Lunges
  • 400 meter Run

All PAX finished in the 20-something minute range, a few times were estimated:

Saban 21:00, Walleye, 23:08, Tool 26:29, Bogey 24:05, Kuch 24:44, Beignet 25-ish, Full Nelson 25-ish, High Rise 23:35, The Undertaker 25:30, Belloq 22:50

We did some round robin Mary until all PAX finished, then a few more rounds for the female onlookers, who mumbled something along the lines of “where’s that handsome guy named Sheetrock?”

Capped things off with 4 minutes of Plankorama, with first 2 min in silence to pay a little more homage to Staff Sargent Loredo and our fallen soldiers.

COT and prayer.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
