Hero WOD Chad

CHAD is a CrossFit Hero workout written in honor of Navy SEAL Senior Chief Chad Wilkinson, who died by suicide on Oct. 29, 2018 as a result of several traumatic brain injuries, blast-wave injuries, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) stemming from many deployments across more than two decades of service. Chad is survived by his spouse, Sara, a former CrossFit Seminar Staff flowmaster, and children, Kinsley and Hudson; as well as countless other friends and family.

The CrossFit community joins together annually on Veteran’s Day in thousands of CrossFit affiliates and garage gyms around the world to tackle this workout in Chad’s memory and to honor all members that are veterans!
Thank you for your service!

Metcon:
Today we program Hero WOD Chad to raise awareness to veteran suicide: 1,000 box step-ups completed as a team, partner or individual for time. This workout usually takes over an hour. We will have regularly scheduled classes all day at both gyms and we will start fresh clocks 15 minutes into each class time, with the exception of 5:30pm class. The gyms will still close at their regular times, so if you attend the final class be aware that you may not finish before the gym closes.

3 OPTIONS:
1. Slick/Beginner // No rucksack/weight. You pick the height of the step ups (3″ plate-20″).
2. Standard/Intermediate // 30#/20# rucksack (or hold onto a weight). You pick the height of the step ups (3″ plate-20″).
3. Expert // 45# rucksack. Use 20″ box for step-ups.
“Even while serving as a SEAL, Chad took time to scale up to the Expert version. There is zero shame in starting Slick, or with Standard weight, or in sharing the steps with a friend.”
-Sara Wilkinson
