HERO WOD – “RICK”
“Rick” cannot be found on the CrossFit website. HERO workouts are traditionally created for military and first responders who gave their life in the pursuit of saving others.
Rick wasn’t military, he was my father, a hero in the eyes of my brother and I. This work out was created to honor his life in support of my brother, Jon, as he was a member at Caged CrossFit during this time. Our father passed away in late August 2017. The owners of Caged, like all CF gym owners, use the gym as a way to help people. They help them succeed, get healthy, make friends and sometimes, grieve. It is probably the most impactful way a community helps one another.
I received an email inviting me to come to Caged CrossFit to join for a workout in honor of Rick.
This workout was performed for the first time on LABOR DAY 2017. This also happens to be the first CrossFit workout I ever did. I never looked back.
All of these things, my pops passing, my brother Jon being in CF already, the HERO WOD and the invitation to it, all played a pivotal role in how I have found myself where I am today.
I wanted to share this probably too personal information with you all as we step into the next week. It has definitely been a heavy time. One of our dad’s favorite sports was boxing. We grew up with a gym in the garage. My pops eventually owned a gym called Enterprise Boxing. It was a hot warehouse setting, box fans moving humid summer air, burpees, jump ropes, free weights and interval training with running and skill work…sound familiar? Rick also spent a lot of his late 20’s and early 30’s training for and running marathons.
When you are going through tough times, hard times, sad times, remember that you have people who will help you get through it.
