Officer Aaron Smith Memorial WOD 2024

Leave a comment

As promised we honored a fallen hero at the Honey Badger who was a friend of my brother in law.

Officer Aaron Smith’s life of public service began at the age of 16, when he joined the Mineral Wells Volunteer Fire Department (MWVFD) as a junior firefighter. He began serving the MWVFD “in full capacity” at the age of 18, and also went on to work as an emergency medical technician (EMT) for Roane County Emergency Medical Services, the St. Joseph Ambulance Service, Jackson County Emergency Medical Services, Camden Clark Memorial Hospital, and Med Trust of Myrtle Beach.
Officer Smith later became a South Carolina State trooper before joining the Horry County Police Department as a police officer.
His cousin Caroline Arthur wrote “Anyone who knew Aaron knew his passion for front line service. His many hours of service, lives touched, and lives saved will not go unnoticed.”
Officer Smith died on September 5, 2021 and was laid to rest September 12, 2021.
Officer Smith left behind his wife, Chelsy, as well as his parents, two sisters, and his brother.

What a turnout

Leave a comment

Word for the day was “consistency”. Anyone can do it in bursts or for a short while but a consistent performance will take you further. When you are tired or disinterested, that consistency will help you to focus.
WARMUP: Seal Jacks, IW, Windmill, Mountain Climbers, MNC and, of course, SSHs
THE THANG: mosey to back of Lowe’s. Partner up for Dora: 100 Merks, 200 Gas Pumpers (just for Twister) & 300 Sumo Squats.
10 partner hand slap Merkins, 10 partner Derkins (real crowd pleaser) and 5 Partner Giddy-ups per side.
Mosey to Persis wall, pax jumps out to do 5 bombjacks then 3 flying Squirrels. Ended with Jack Webb and the Q was gassed.
MARY: 2 rounds
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Summer of CSAUPs, FM Care Center lawn care
COT: Prayers for Destiny’s Father in law and a friend of Assassin’s wife with a brain tumor.
What a glorious humid day to be amongst the Pax. Honored and humbled by the great turnout.

Flag Handoff at The Sink…..If you know what I mean?

Leave a comment

Flag handoff from Maximus to Farmer’s Only.

WARMUP:
Warmed up with a lap around small loop and back to circle perform a few exercises to get familiar with the bags.

– Merkin (5-5-5 – Regular, Wide, Diamond)
– SB Toss (10)
– SB Shoulder to Shoulder (10)

THE THANG:
Partner up. DORA. One partner carries, One partner exercises. 50 reps for each exercise.

2 – Shoulder Carry/Lunges
3 – Back Carry/Flutters w/ Press
4 – Overhead Carry/Rows

Everyone went through once at 50 reps each exercise. Some began making way back through before all PAX drop the exercise portion and began making way down the list completing just the carry. Stopped with about 10 mins left for next activity.

Next up, we piled all the sandbags up on one end and went back to the other side. PAX divided into two teams and one PAX at a time for each time raced down to the pile to retrieve a bag and bring it back to other side. All PAX take a turn and team that recovered the most weight at the end is the winner. Losers perform burpees.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Lots of CSAUP opportunities this Summer. July 4th convergence.

COT:
Flag Handoff. Congrats Farmer’s Only.
