"The Savage". 1980. Tremont Stakes.
Horse on the left was in the lead; horse on the right was closing the gap and startin
g to pass. Instead of the horse on the left putting more effort into gaining (and keeping) the lead....he reaches over and bites the horse on the right. Meanwhile, the horse on the right has his ears laid back and his eyes on the prize. Guess which horse won the race? Yep, the one on the right. Moral of the story: Don't entertain the nonsense. Have a purpose, stay focused, and never let others bring you down.

Have you set your Q4 goals yet? How close are you to reaching your 2017 goals? It's not too late - eyes on the prize and stay focused (or re-focus today).


Strength:
BN Jerk, Chin-ups, DB Floor Press

Conditioning:

On September 11, 2001, the United States was brutally attacked. Today, we pay tribute to those whose lives were taken from us too soon; we honor those police officers and firefighters who fought to protect us; and we remember as a way to remain united as a nation.

9/11 Tribute WOD
2001m Row or 2001m Run (1.25 miles)
11 Box Jumps (30/24″)
11 Thrusters (125/85#)
11 Burpee Chest to Bar Pull-ups
11 Power Cleans (170/120#)
11 HSPUs
11 KB Swings (55/35#)
11 T2B
11 Deadlifts (170/120#)
11 Push Jerks (110/75#)
2001m Row or 2001m Run (alternate from your starting option)

This workout symbolizes the events that unfolded on September 11, 2001 in its design.
The date and year are represented by the row (i.e. 2001 meters) and the 9 movements, each including 11 repetitions.
The 125-pound Thrusters represent the deaths that occurred at the Pentagon; the 175-pound Power Clean stands for AA Flight 175 that collided with the South Tower; Flight 77 and Flight 93 were combined and are represented in the 170-pound Deadlift; and the 110-pound Push Jerk signifies the number floors in each of the Twin Towers.

Join us today and help us pay a small tribute to those who were lost.
