You people are AWESOME! Great workout and MONSTER efforts from everybody. At a scale, or as prescribed, there were no easy ways out. Outstanding work from our mutants, to our puppies. THANKS.

66 reps is a lot. Like everything else, we start chipping away and don't stop until it's over. We talked about strategy, and everyone had a plan that they stuck to. Whether you did 11 sets of 6, 6 sets of 11, or went straight through until you had to rest, good job.

Everyone agreed that the last half of this workout was the real gut check, and that the combinations were devilish. Thanks Dave Castro. This might be one of CrossFit's all-time heavy hitters, up there with the 'Hotshots 19', and 'The Murph'.

We threw the puppies into the deep end of the pool and they lived. Jerry, Jenny, Mary, Connie, Conner, Jessica, and Quincy- you are turning the worm hard and we are all motivated by your efforts. Dr. Mark, you too provided some strong fuel for us, and for that, we thank you.

For some, this session went way too long. We debated putting a cap on this beast but decided it wouldn't be fair to deny you seeing this thing through. John M, Byron, Candice, Holley, Todd McK, Britt, and Dave- you all demonstrated an incredible NO-QUIT attitude.

Congratulations Richard, and Abby. The first husband, and wife fastest finishers. Caroline has mutant genes and will be an amazing athlete. Thanks for the super strong efforts, and fuel. You two are crazy fit.

Thursday might be the most appreciated rest day in a while. We heard some crazy talk about coming in for open gym and making up a missed wod from last week. Don't. Instead, use this time for recovery. Mobility, and flexibility are much better options.

Open gym at 5:15. Roll, smash, floss, or feather. Give each other a nice back massage. Anything that helps you recover. Bring a bag of ICE and chill those tired, achy bones and muscles.

If you aren't too sore to drive in that is... Most said they're feeling ok. Not surprising. We are all CrossFit.

This workout is named for U.S. Marine Corporal Donald Marler, assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force who died on June 6, 2010 supporting combat operations in the Helmand province, Afghanistan.

We are honored to struggle in his name, and grateful for people of this caliber.

Thanks for one of the best days at CFSF ever. The Burpee mile is next. HOOF*CKINYAH!
