"31 Heroes"

31 min AMRAP - Teams of 2
- 8 Thrusters (105/155)
- 6 Rope Climbs
- 11 Box Jumps (24/30)
- Continuous 400m run

* One athlete works on the thrusters, rope climbs and BJ while the other runs. Once the running athlete returns they switch roles and continue accumulating rounds and reps for the entire 31 minutes.

Remember when you're doing this WOD that the 8 thrusters represent the month of August, the 6 rope climbs represent the day, the 11 box jumps represents the year, and the 31 minutes represents the 31 who lost their lives.

In the early hours of August 6th, 2011, while deployed to Afghanistan, 30 American military members and one working dog boarded a helicopter to answer the call given for aid to U.S. Army Rangers in need of reinforcements to take down a senior Taliban leader. Tragically, these 31 brave souls, 17 of whom were from the United States’ most elite fighting force, were killed when a rocket propelled grenade struck down their Chinook helicopter. Within minutes, the tight-knit SEAL community suffered the greatest loss of life in a single instance since its inception in 1962.
