21 Pull-Ups
Order will be Partner 1, partner 2, partner 1, partner 2
So for a Round, Partner 1 goes through the whole sequence, then partner 2.. Firemen’s carry means, athlete picks up partner and does squats w/partner on their back.
Veterans support organization Team Red White & Blue is hosting a CrossFit “workout of the day” on May 27 to celebrate Memorial Day. Since we have other plans for that day, we will do it today.
The workout includes 5 exercises; one for each branch of the military, each with 21 reps to signify a 21 gun salute
Organizers say the partner workout “signifies the bonds we aim to create between our nation’s warriors and the communities they grow in and return to, and doing it twice reflects the fact that we honor both the living and the deceased.”

Post who you teamed with and your time to Comments. Also, post what Memorial Day means to you. And, this is just the first of 2 Memorial Day-themed WODs. Be here Monday @ 0900 for the other.
