What a start to 2016!

I honestly can’t think of a better way to start the year than by hitting one of the nastiest hero WODs on REDFriday. So that’s what I – and four of my closest friends – did. Two of my closest friends decided to check out #HillsAreAlive beforehand and logged about 4 miles of hill work before taking on Whitten. Uncle Jesse couldn’t stand missing out on #REDFriday so he did it at home and still rocked it.

Capt. Dan Whitten

This week’s #REDFriday WOD was “Whitten.” Army Captain Dan Whitten, 28, of Grimes, Iowa, assigned to the 1st Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, based out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, died February 2, 2010, when enemy forces in Zabul, Afghanistan, attacked his vehicle with an improvised explosive device. Whitten is survived by his wife, Starr Whitten, his mother, Jill Whitten, his father, Dan Whitten, and his sister, U.S. Army Captain Sarah Whitten.

  • YHC admittedly made a bad decision to call “Whitten” for today knowing that some of us were doubling down at the hills. The utter stupidity revealed itself early as Meatloaf and I were struggling in the middle of the first round. #TClaps to Nipples and Meatloaf for making YHC tackle the dobledown!
  • We definitely need to pray that Judge Judy finds his razor soon. #LotsOfGrey #JustForMen
  • Smokey posted #Starsky to impromptu #Coffeeteria and we learned that YHC apparently has an affinity for ladies’ undergarments. Watch the full special “Juggernaut Exposed” immediately following 60 Minutes, except on the west coast where it will air at its regularly scheduled time. #Superstar
  • We also learned that I wear goofy-looking American flag shorts to #REDFriday that even the most patriotic folks have trouble tolerating. #DressLikeAnOldMan
  • Lots of high fives were exchanged on the run. #Teamwork
  • “When you finish the burpees you feel like you’ve done something. Then you have to do the thrusters!” – Meatloaf #WellSaid The burpees are definitely where the work is in this WOD.
  • YHC LOVES #REDFriday! Easily my favorite workout every week. Super intense with a higher purpose.
  • Please take time to learn about the men we honor each week. The workout is great, but take a few minutes to understand the sacrifice these heroes have made for our nation.

Aye!
