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

Announcements and Prayer
NMM:
- 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.
- RED Friday launches are coming down the pipe. If a Pax is interested in helping there, see Juggernaut!
- 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.
- 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!
- 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!
- The ants were among us once again. Uncle Jesse and Alpo were the main source of their treat this morning.
- Doogie MD’s first showing at RED and he killed it! Good job brother!
