The Thang-
Carraway WOD- No you won’t find this on a WOD sheet or online because YHC put it together to remember Sgt. Terrance Carraway of the Florence Police Department. He was killed in the line of duty this week while serving a warrant. Six other LE officers were also shot during this standoff. Sgt. Carraway was a detective with the Florence PD. He was an Air Force veteran member of the 315th Airlift Wing while stationed in Charleston, SC. He had just celebrated his 30th year of service in law enforcement. He is survived by a wife an several young adult children. The 30 rep count signifies the 30 years of service in law enforcement, and the 7 rounds signifies the number of officers shot during this standoff. Here’s how we honored him….
7 Rounds for time.

NMM- The twittersphere was silent last night, so I didn’t know what to expect. 2C rolled in first. He’s been a RF faithful. After talking with 2C for what seemed like 5 minutes, some dude comes walking out from behind his car. 2C introduced me to Maui Jim. YHC gets a little edgy when people start popping out of the dark on him. Shortly after, Duggar and Blu roll in. Right after YHC explained the work, Mr. Belding rolls in to make it 6. In normal fashion, YHC chased Duggar and Blu. Just as I entered my time, Mr. Belding warned me that Taco Tuesday had shown up on RED Friday. I narrowly escaped the area, but I believe Duggar had nowhere to go and, well, I’ll leave that right there. I didn’t know how this WOD would turn out, so I had some extra work ready for those early finishers. After the main work, it was 21/15/9 of pull ups and v-ups. Duggar was in full beast mode because he said “Is that all?!?” Seemed like plenty to me! YHC was spent. After we finished that, we had 6 minutes left. Let’s get in some AB Mary. Duggar started us off with 50 flutters counting 1 leg. Blu called for 50 Freddie Mercury’s. Whoa, what Blue? 50? That was horrible! We will feel that one tomorrow. I called for a 6″ hold on my count. We went to 45. Definitely another crowd pleaser. It was my honor to lead these fine men this morning. I am better for each of them being there.
Southern Belle is hanging up…..
