>> honor fallen firefighters with CrossFit
Today we’re participating in the worldwide CrossFit effort to honor 19 members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots firefighting team who tragically lost their lives June 30, 2013 while fighting a fire in Yarnell, Ariz. CrossFit has raised nearly $70,000 to date; 100 percent of money donated will be given to the firefighters’ families. To donate or for more information, visit 19 Hotshots CrossFit fundraiser
Today, Aug. 31, CrossFits near and far will participate in the Hero WOD, “Hotshots 19,” to mark the sacrifice made by these men in uniform.
Six rounds for time:
* Because we did so many cleans Wednesday, we will perform this workout in teams of two or more. One person rests while the other works; both complete runs.
19 ‘Hotshots’ died heroes, the most firefighters to perish in wildfire in 80 years
