WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
Partner up, and dig in! Teams can divide reps whoever they’d like. We suggest you switch on the minute for the calorie row OR at half the cals if 13 cals takes you less than a minute. For the strict pull ups, keep the reps fast and unbroken. Do sets of 2-4. Then for the shoulder to overhead, choose a weight you can do for at least 10 reps unbroken before switching with your partner. Target 40 minutes.

THE THIRTEEN
This workout is dedicated to the 13 soldiers who died on August 26, 2021, at the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, while engaged in a dangerous, selfless mission to save the lives of others. They were assisting in the evacuation of US Citizens and friendly Afghan nationals. Thirteen soldiers died, 11 Marines, an Army Corpsman, and a Navy Corpsman.

The attack marked one of the deadliest days for American forces in the past decade of the 20-year war in Afghanistan — and took place just days ahead of the U.S.’s planned full withdrawal from the country that was overtaken on Aug. 15 by the Taliban.

The soldiers who sacrificed their lives were:
– Dylan Merola – 20
– Daegan William-Tyeler Page – 23
– Humberto Sanchez – 22
– Johanny Rosario – 25
– Nicole Gee – 23
– Hunter Lopez – 22
– Taylor Hoover – 31
– Ryan Knauss – 23
– David Lee Espinoza – 20
– Rylee McCollum – 20
– Jared Schmitz – 20
– Kareem Nikoui – 20
– Max Soviak – 22
