This British Hero WOD was designed by CrossFit NW1 (Conwy, Wales) in memory of member and athlete Lt. Garreth Jenkins of Colwyn Bay, Conwy, who collapsed at the Commando Training Centre, Lympstone, Devon, while on a 30-mile (48km) march on Thursday, May 28, 2015.
Lt Jenkins, who was in his mid-20s, died during the so-called “30-miler” march, the last major test undertaken as part of the 32-week Commando course. Trainees must complete it carrying at least 32lbs (15kg) of equipment in a maximum time of eight hours.

NMM- As I was flipping through WODs, I came across Jenkins that had partner work. I initially planned to run it individually, but this would be completely different for RED Friday, and after talking to some other PAX, partners it is. This WOD was intense. Running after burpees is horrible. Duggar and Mary Anne stayed in the lead right out of the gate. Pure beasts. Working with a partner pushes you to do your best. Each partner brings something different to the team. I teamed up with Pacer, and he brought his usual BDE in full force. Right near the end of the workout, somebody pointed out the strange light in the sky. It was pretty freaky looking and didn’t look like anything I had ever seen. Come to find out, it was Space X that had just launched from Florida. Don’t see that everyday. And you cain’t see no rockets from the fartsack! So get your six out in the gloom so you don’t miss anything!
Southern Belle is hanging up…
