Lest We Forget
For those of us who undertake these physical tests, the
psychological effects of performing a Hero workout are
tremendous. It’s easy to treat these prescriptions as any
workout of the day, but for those who take the time to
learn about the heroes they honor, the WODs can become
as spiritual and emotionally demanding as they are physically
grueling.
When keeping the stories behind the real-life heroes in
mind, slowing down during a Hero workout becomes
harder to justify. When the pain of pushing harder becomes
too great, I am reminded of the sacrifice these men made
for my freedom, and my struggle becomes laughable. And
when I compare my temporary suffering to the lifelong
sorrow felt by the grieving families of these men, dropping
the bar becomes an embarrassment to my country.
The Hero workout is more than a test of physical ability. It
bridges the gap between the body and the mind, emotion
and experience, and gives us the chance to do more than
just remember our soldiers. It gives us the chance to sweat,
bleed, suffer and grieve for our fallen heroes one rep at
a time.

Counting

With all the new members, it’s perhaps time to talk about counting in a WOD and how we approach it at BA. Here’s a blog post from last Fall:

Easy solution if you had to compromise form or reps on a WOD: Just inform the instructor that you don’t need your time or score written on the board.
