Wednesday, 22 February

Today we will remember a USMA '09 graduate and a fallen hero.  The one year anniversary of the death of 1LT Daren Hidalgo was on Monday, 20 February.  Several CrossFit boxes in the US did the "Hidalgo" Hero WOD on Monday to honor and remember Daren and his sacrifice for the country.  Check out: http://www.crossfit.com/mt-archive2/008088.html  for the original WOD posted on the mainsite.


U.S. Army First Lieutenant Daren M. Hidalgo, 24, of Waukesha, Wisconsin, assigned to 3rd Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment, based in Vilseck, Germany, died on February 20, 2011, in Kandahar province, Afghanistan, from wounds suffered when insurgents attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device. Two weeks prior to his death, he was hit by an earlier improvised explosive device. Despite his injuries, he stayed in country and on patrols rather than return home. He is survived by his father Jorge, mother Andrea, brothers Miles and Jared, and sister Carmen.




Due to time constraints we cannot schedule "Hidalgo" as rx'd, so we will do a scaled down version for time:


Mini-Hidalgo
Run 2 x gym loops (800 meters)
Rest 1 minute
10 x squat cleans (135/95)
15 x box jumps (24/20)
20 x walking lunge steps w/ plate overhead (45/25)
15 x box jumps (24/20)
10 x squat cleans (135/95)
Rest 1 minute
Run 2 x gym loops (800 meters)

Rest in peace LT Hidalgo - you will not be forgotten!

Breaking in a new pair of merrell's got my left heel bleeding. the soles on the new balance trails aren't holding up too well with the wod's so i decided to reserve those for running.

Thank you to LT Hidalgo for your service. You'll live on forever in our memories.
