Tuesday 11/11/2025 VETERANS DAY

CHAD 1000x

Every Veteran's Day, we do a Hero workout called "Chad." Most of you know it well: 1000 Box Step-ups for time.

This workout is written in honor of Navy SEAL Senior Chief Chad Wilkonson who died by suicide on Oct. 29, 2018.

Prior to his death, Chad used the workout to train to climb mountains like Cerro Aconcagua, South America highest peak.

The goal every year is participate and or complete this workout together in honor of Chad, to support each other, and to bring awareness to the epidemic of suicide, particularly among our veterans.

At the heart of every CrossFit workout and event is community. 

Today’s workout is hard to prepare for and hard to complete - and that’s exactly why it’s here. Check out some options on how to tackle “Chad”

-Warm Up with Coach and take on a 20,30 or 40 minute max reps rendition.

-use the whole class (or longer) to complete all 1000 Box Step-ups on 20” box.

*Add weight as needed (RX = 45/35lbs in a ruck or vest)
