A Reminder for Saturday
Saturday at CrossFit Indestri, we're taking on a very meaningful Hero WODs in CrossFit, CHAD 1000X.
This workout honours Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson, who died by suicide on October 29, 2018, following years of service and the invisible struggles that can come with it. CHAD 1000X was created to honour his life, raise awareness about mental health, and remind us of the importance of looking out for one another.
For those attending, our class will run from 9:00am until 10:30am. Unless everyone is finished prior to 10:30am. We've extended our usual Saturday class time to allow everyone a little extra time to complete the workout.
The Workout: CHAD 1000X
For Time:
1,000 Box Step-Ups (20"/20")
RX: 45/35 lb rucksack/backpack
Scaled: 20/10 lb rucksack or no rucksack
As always, this workout is completely scalable. Whether you're completing all 1,000 no backpack, a lighter backpack, stepping onto a lower box, there is a version of CHAD 1000X for you.
If you are bringing a backpack, please already have it weighted. Books are the best option for this.
Over the past month, the Collingwood and surrounding communities have experienced heartbreaking losses to suicide. It makes the message behind this workout feel especially important this year. We're also looking at how we can help give back after this workout to support mental health awareness.
In 2024, Chad's wife, Sara Wilkinson, shared a message with athletes at the CrossFit Games before they took on CHAD 1000X. One sentence in particular has stayed with us.
"Grief is love with nowhere to go."
Saturday is an opportunity to turn some of that love into something else. To remember those we've lost, support those who may be struggling, and recognize that we never truly know what someone else might be carrying.
Most importantly, remember that Saturday isn't about the leaderboard. It's about the reason behind the workout and the community standing alongside you.
Registration is already open on zenplanner.
