The CrossFit community mourns the loss of Chad Robert Peyton, a beloved husband, father, son, brother, and friend. Chad, a U.S. Army veteran with 10 years of military service, struggled with depression and anxiety. He took his own life on May 17, 2021. 

Chad worked at CalStar 14 in Watsonville, California. Coach Brian & Coach Dan work for CalStar 13 here in Merced. Though we did not know him personally, his story hits close to home as Critical Care Paramedics and Fathers. His story is not so different from our own.

Scaling

This is a longer workout. Reduce the work to a level that is attainable yet still challenging and that allows you to come in from the run in 45 minutes or less. Newer athletes can modify the pull-ups and dumbbell loading while maintaining the significance of the reps.
