CrossFit Hero workouts provide unparalleled motivation. Regardless of the difficulty, and discomfort we continue. As Hero workouts go, this might be turn out to be one of the best. Crushed. Thanks CFHQ.

Awesome efforts everybody! This workout took a lot of fuel, and determination to finish. The first round alone took over half the total workout time. Great job hanging tough. Super strong effort Abby Turner, choosing the 20 pound med ball instead of the girl's Rx 16 pounds. HOOYAH!

Carrying an object while either running, or shuffling, is difficult. That IS the objective. That ball got heavy fast, and however held, awkward. Add slippery sweat, and a super hot day to the equation and the suck factor rises exponentially. 

That's why we do it.

Some people will never understand that. We thrive on days like this. This was perhaps one of the most rewarding CrossFit workouts we've ever seen, and you can bank on its inclusion in the Winter Circus.

This workout is named in honor of  U.S. Navy Petty Officer Second Class Taylor Gallant, assigned to the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 12, who died on January 26, 2012 during diving operations off the North Carolina coast.

This is a particularly special workout for us because of our EOD friends who have rolled with, and been a large part of CFSF in the past. We think of you all often. Some of the shit we pulled off back then still generates incredibly funny conversations to this day. Thank you all for that too.
