COT – Great job by all PAX.  Event though this is a You v You competition, brothers were there to pick each other up and push them to completion.  Congrats to Chowdah for scoring the quickest time of the day.  We have the entire week remaining to complete for the first time or try to beat previous attempts.  This WOD challenge is in honor of 1st Lieutenant James Robert Kalsu, 11th Artillery Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, US Army, who was killed in action on July 21st, 1970 in the A Shau Valley, Vietnam. This WOD is consistently in the top 10 of hardest CrossFit workouts, so, it’s perfect to kick-off Iron Pax 2024.
