Today is the first training day on the Tough Mudder routine, and it was a cracker to start with! Training with CrossFit Broadbeach on Friday’s, doing their WOD and it was a new Australian Hero WOD named “Wood”. Hero WODs are CrossFits way of honoring fallen soldiers. Despite what you may think of war, it is important to remember what is left behind from war, and that those who go to war, go selflessly.

Australian Army Sergeant Brett Wood, 32, of Ferntree Gully, Victoria, assigned to the 2nd Commando Regiment, based in Sydney, New South Wales, died on May 23, 2011, in Helmand province, Afghanistan, after insurgents attacked him with an improvised explosive device. He is survived by his wife Elvi, his mother Allison, and his father David.
