OCT 29TH – CHAD 1000X
This Sunday (Oct 29th) CrossFit is sponsoring a workout to all its affiliates in memory of Navy Seal Chad Wilkinson. Chad took his life due to the effects of numerous deployments, several traumatic brain injuries, blast wave injuries, and PTSD. He had sacrificed so much for his country and we hope to join other CrossFit gyms around the world to honor his name.
Sunday we will have an unofficial workout, which is Chad. Chad is 1000 box step-ups and those step-ups are supposed to be weighted (45/35). It is a daunting task but it is not the reps or the weight that honors Chad and others like him, but the act of doing the workout. Please scale the workout in whatever way makes sense for you. Here is a great video from Chad’s wife about scaling the workout.
Further, if you would like to contribute CHAD 1000X organization, which provides help and support to veterans dealing with PTSD and other health issues.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us and we can look to create some times where groups of Covies can do it together.
