About Hero WODs:
Most Hero WODs are officially recognized by CrossFit headquarters and are performed in the same way at CrossFit boxes all over the world. The WODs structure has significance, for example, in this WOD, the 12 rounds, 10 cleans and 6 HSPUs represent the date this soldier passed.
These WODs are designed to be tougher than most and not many CrossFitters finish these WODs RX nor within a time cap. And, of course, that’s okay, right? The real purpose of these WODs (besides getting a kick-arse workout) isn’t about your time or your score… it’s about your attitude. Daybreak uses these WODs to remind us to make the extra effort to stay positive and encourage one another — go ahead and give a mid-WOD high five to that member next to you! And when you hit those tough spots in the WOD, think about the effort and sacrifice our servicemen, servicewomen, fire/police and first responders make every day.
