September 1st, 2017 By Othello

Seven Pax joined together to honor Adrian Elizalde, Age 30, from North Bend, Oregon who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country.  Adrian was a U.S. Army Sergeant First Class assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne), based in Fort Lewis, Washington.  He died on August 23, 2007, in Baghdad, Iraq, of wounds sustained from an improvised explosive device. He is survived by his parents, Jorge and Teresa Elizalde, sister Rachel, and daughter Sydney Grace.

On this Red Friday we honored him with the “Adrian Hero WOD”.  It went something like this….

The Thang…

1.   Great push by all today!  Lot’s of sweat, no quit and good modification by @Highchair, @Blackout and @Chum.  Wall climbs were killer on the lower back!
2.   I am getting too old for “forward rolls”, now I know why I don’t like Disney’s tea-cup ride.  However I must point out that the smartest one today was @Highchair for doing the forward rolls on the mulch playground – duh, that is what the mulch is for!
3.  @WeddingSinger – killing it today, keep posting brother and yes, you can laugh at my lack of sports knowledge.  Remember, I was in “THE MARCHING BAND”, we never payed attention to players, especially their names.  Only paid attention to the score and the cheerleaders 😉
4.  @Hugo – strong work as usual – Respect!
5.  @BlueCrush – awesome work, you keep me pushing.  Pax – find someone faster than you and use that person to make you push harder, @BC (H&S too) is my “push”, Aye!
6.  BTW, You guys see H&S and Gremlin?  Maybe they were home washing their skirts? Kilts? Not sure – HA! Missed you brothers!
