In honor of Ashley White: "White"

"We are either progressing or retrograding all the while; there is no such thing as remaining stationary in this life."

-James Freeman Clarke

Above: Bob and Mia getting their rope climb on in today's WOD. Today's WOD is a special one, because it is in honor of a fallen soldier. Moreover, this is the first female soldier hero WOD. So, when the going gets tough during the workout just remember who you are honoring and press on. R.I.P. Ashley White.

Today's WOD:
"White"
5 rounds for time:
3 Rope Climbs (15')
10 Toes to Bar
21 Overhead Walking Lunges (45/25 lbs. plate)
400m Run
