We are going to honor Veteran’s Day with a Hero WOD – Armistace. After the workout (about 10:00am) the Recursive Ruck Club will leave from the gym with gear in hand and ruck around Lake Monona – about 12 miles. All are welcomed to join us.
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War. This Armistice Day was later re-named to Veterans Day.
At exactly 11 a.m., each November 11th, a color guard, made up of members from each of the military branches, renders honors to America’s war dead during a ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery.
The 11-based rep scheme represents the rich history of Veterans Day.
The two-minutes of rest/reflection represents this moment of silence at the tomb of the unknowns.
The 1st round of work represents Veterans of wars past, and the 2nd round of work represents Veterans of present and future wars.
Modified versions of classic military exercises are meant to help connect Veterans and the greater community to connect after the accomplishment of shared hardship during this WOD.
We will be running no matter the weather – rain or shine or snow or sleet or 30 degrees – so dress appropriately. We have running lights for the classes that will take place after dark. 100m is out the door to the right, to the end of our building (NOT to the sidewalk) and back.
For larger classes, to make sure the gym isn’t too crowded with boxes, we’ll split up and half the class with do the first AMRAP and the other half will do the second AMRAP. Everyone will rest their 2 minutes and then switch.
