SSG Keith Matthew “Matt” Maupin

Another RED Friday is here and 12 Pax have chosen to honor the memory of SSG Matt Maupin with a “new to #theWood” Hero WOD. Read his bio here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Iraq_KBR_convoy_ambush

84* misting and super muggy

Disclaimer (actually, i don’t think this happened)

RED Friday’s are, in YHC’s opinion, the toughest workouts offered in #theWood. Today was no exception. One of the reasons for this is there is NO break and the workout is for time. Placement matters to a bunch of testosterone laden men.

HERO WOD:

800 Meter Run

49 Merkins

49 Big Boy Sit-ups

49 Deep Dish Squats

This is repeated FOUR times, at your fastest pace possible. Times logged this morning are:

Doogie MD: 30:28

Pacer: 31:09

Uncle Jesse: 31:31

Duggar: 32:48

Alpo: 34:46

Applesauce: 34:47

Hysteria: 35:20

Nature Boy: 37:31

Juggernaut: 38:28

Meter Maid: 39:41

Bo Diddly: 40:04

Capri: 40:26

Job well done.

Announcements and Prayer

NMM:

  1. Remember in your prayers Rodman’s lil’ cousin, Blue Ball and his family, Doogie MD’s b-in-law John. Remember the Vets and all current service men and women! As well as our local police, fire, ems, etc.
  2. RED Friday launches are coming down the pipe. If a Pax is interested in helping there, see Juggernaut!
  3. As mentioned above, RED is for time. However, fast times should never come at the expense of proper form for each exercise. W/o proper form, you may as well not even do the exercise…according to some experts.
  4. YHC overheard Bo Diddly say, while sporting his GREY red t-shirt…”I thought I was grabbing a red shirt. My M doesn’t like for me to turn on the light that early.” I found it funny ’cause I can relate!
  5. It was agreed by all that Nature Boy (Capri’s 2.0) was probably the ONLY middle school football player up at 5 am to bust it on a workout making himself better this morning! Good job NB!! Apple Sauce, his little bro, hammered it too!
  6. The ants were among us once again. Uncle Jesse and Alpo were the main source of their treat this morning.
  7. Doogie MD’s first showing at RED and he killed it! Good job brother!
