Veteran’s Day - CHAD

Modified Holiday Schedule

Happy Veteran’s Day. We would like to thank all our MidState Veterans for the service they have provided and the sacrifices they have made to protect our freedoms. Today we will have two sessions to complete “Chad”. Chad takes more than an hour to complete and you may want to bring your own backpack to add weight to. The morning session will run from 0830 AM - 1200PM and the afternoon session will run from 330PM - 630PM. There are many ways to scale this workout, do not let it intimidate you. Come in and support this Hero WOD and honor the many veterans who struggle with mental health every day. Talk with a coach to help find the right work out stimulus for your current level of awesomeness. 

Chad

For Time:
1000 Box Step Ups (20 in)
Wear a Ruck Pack (45/35lbs)

Dedicated to Chad Michael Wilkinson of the US Navy who died on October 29, 2018, in Virginia Beach on active duty after 22 years of service. On December 14, 2018, CrossFit Games Director, Dave Castro posted this workout in memory of Wilkinson, who was a friend. Castro said, “A few weeks ago we lost an American hero. A friend of mine and someone I worked with when I was in the Navy. At his funeral his wife mentioned that he did 1,000 step ups for time with a 45 pound pack on a 20” box to train for climbing Mt Aconcagua. 

Examples of scaling options. Remember you can divide these below options amongst a TEAM!

1. Slick // No rucksack. You pick the height of the step-ups.
2. Standard // 30#/20# rucksack. You pick the height of the step-ups.
3. Expert // 45# rucksack. Use 20" box for step-ups.
