31 Heroes

From the official website:

On September 3, 2011 CrossFit gyms across the nation and world will gather together to honor our heroes killed in action August 6, 2011 with a workout in an effort to raise funds for the families affected by this tragedy. All funds received will go to these families through the Navy SEAL Foundation, other like-organizations, and individual family funds.

The Workout

The workout promises to be a unique Hero WOD. Thirty-one of America’s bravest have made the ultimate sacrifice for our sake. We can all agree that no workout will ever be enough to say thank you, but among this community it almost seems to be our version of the “moment of silence”, a small way we can honor the those that have gone before us. We hope you’ll join us for this moment of silence.

Get Involved

• Find a local CF affiliate hosting the event. Not involved with a box already? Check out the list of affiliates here to find one near you. If they’re not already hosting, recommend that they do.

Looking for weightlifting shoes? Attending some of our new LIFTING classes?

These Adidas Power Lifts work really well and right now you can get them for $90 + tax + free S&H from the official website.

 

Is that an FCF colorway I see?!

You can find a special red/black colorway on Amazon, and both Amazon and Rogue Fitness carry the Onyx/Black/Red colorway.

Speaking of which, Rogue Fitness is closing out the Rippetoe lifting boots because of production issues. Limited sizes, $115/pair.
