Forged Friday

Today we honor a living hero and friend to our very own James Vreeland, who just received the Medal of Honor.

WOD:

Shurer

AMRAP in 30 minutes:

– 3 rope ascents (scale to 2/1 ascent)

– 3 sandbag/stone/dball cleans and 25m carry (AHAP)

This award is not mine. This award wouldn’t exist without the team. If they weren’t doing their job, I wouldn’t have been able to do my job.
