“Some men have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can.” -Willis Whitney



The 9am class had already finished the birthday workout when Josh showed up to do it at 10am. Some stayed and watched while he slammed through his workout in 14 minutes and 50 seconds, the fastest time of the day. It is nice to take the board on your birthday.

Josh had given us this workout as his (soldier/hero WOD) before he deployed back to Iraq in June. I hoped we would never have to do it. Now that he is back home safe in Hawaii, we decided to celebrate his birthday with it. It is nastier than it seems at first glance. By the end of the second round you feel like you should be done.

Today’s Workout:

“Josh Akiona”
10 Power Cleans(m-135lbs/f-95lbs)
