Happy Veterans Day. Thank you to all of those who have served and who are currently serving our country!

Today’s workout is a kettlebell adapted version of the Crossfit Hero WOD “TILLMAN”. According to the WODwell website:

He joined the Army Rangers and served multiple tours in combat before he was killed in the mountains of Afghanistan. He was a recipient of the Silver Star, the third highest honor in the military, and a Purple Heart. Pat is survived by his wife Marie.
