A suicide bomber killed seven CIA officers and one Jordanian officer at a remote base in southeastern Afghanistan on December 30, 2009 after posing as a potential informant reporting on Al Qaeda. Seven new stars will be etched onto the memorial wall at the CIA where every star represents grieving friends, family and colleagues dedicated to fight against the enemy, forever in their name.
Killed in the attack were CIA officers Jennifer Lynne Matthews, 45; Scott Michael Roberson, 39; Harold E. Brown Jr., 37; Darren LaBonte, 35; Elizabeth Hanson, 30; and security contractors Jeremy Jason Wise, 35, and Dane Clark Paresi, 46.
I somehow enjoyed my first hero. Stephen (sp?) picked up all my slack rollin’ Rx though, so I’m sure that explains it some.
I did box HSPU, 63# thrusters, 135# DL, blue band pullups
26:47 if I recall.
Was fun sticking around and watching 10:00 kick ass too. Congratulations to Alex for her very first WOD being a Hero, and getting through it with a smile. And to Christine2 too, for knockin it out!!
Have a wonderful Independence Day everyone!!
Greg, your partner was Steve
Derp, sorry Steve. No idea where that came from. Drawbacks of zero coffee this morning 🙂
Awesome job to all you guys who came out this morning! I saw awesome teamwork and communication with everyone!
Shout out to Rob for staying and cheering on the 10 am class. I remember there was a time I kept staring at the 135 bar on the thrusters and his “c’mon!” was exactly what I needed!
And great job to Eron, Liz, Greg, and D$ for welcoming Christine2 and Alex!
Happy 4th Everyone – the Seven was well worth doing today… good times..
In completely unrelated news, the ultimate frisbee championships are being held in Raleigh this year and the main games are going to be on Saturday and Sunday. Raleigh has an extremely good team called “Ring of Fire” and they play at 5:30pm on Friday! Saturday and Sunday is the full tournament play so there will be continuous games all day until 10pm. Womens semis start at 2:30-5:30 amd mens are 5:30-10:00. Is anyone interested in going?

If you don’t know what ultimate frisbee is, check out some highlights here. It’s a mix between soccer, football, and played with a frisbee!
For the ladies
Very intrigued. I will attend.
Good times were had at the 4:00 class…
Lorena and I paired up for this one and we got it done at 23:23. We used a box for HSPU, 73# for thrusters, 165# for DLs, 53# Russian KBS, and I needed a purple band for my pull ups.
A big shout out to newbie Chris (I didn’t check the board to see how you spelled your name, sorry). Doing her first WOD, and it is a hero WOD!!
Happy 4th everyone!
Great job everyone.
As always, thanks for posting results.
