Today marks the first day at CrossFit Maximus that Sunday is not a rest day.
10 Years ago today, The Unites States fell victim to the worst terrorist attack in the history of our country. Some would call it an act of war. For this post I was going to write a detailed recounting of the day, include a timeline with pictures, footage, and fact about the events of this tragic day in our history. But why? We all know what happened, and how horrible it made us feel. I bet there isn’t a person that comes to this WOD that doesn’t remember exactly where they were, and what they were doing that day when the planes hit the World Trade Center towers, when flight 77 hit the Pentagon, and when flight 93 crashed down in Pennsylvania after the passengers stormed the cockpit to take the plane down before it reached it speculated target of the White House or the Capital building. I sure remember. For me, it still feels like yesterday whenever I see a documentary that recounts the day of, and the days after 9/11.
Hero WODs are such an important part of the CrossFit community. They remind us the sacrifice that so many make for their country, their community, and their fellow man. Let’s do this WOD and remember all those who perished in the attacks, and those sacrificed their lives trying to get people to safety.
