Introduction
PREBLAST – I hear Fridays at LA LUZ are pure FIRE. I will do my best to add some fuel to that fire. Let’s start MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND with a true HERO workout. No coupon required – but those looking for an extra challenge can bring a WEIGHTED VEST.HC below!
Today’s workout honored Sgt. Zachary Tellier. More about him in the CoT below.
I modified the workout to accommodate a group workout. I adding some running in between to stay active. I think it is important to start all of the rounds TOGETHER – leave no man behind!
Very little set-up required for this one. Wasn’t sure if the rain was going to roll in or not, but we GO rain or shine. The clock hit 5:15 and it was time to roll.
Welcome to La Luz…

CoT: Today’s workout was dedicated to U.S. Sgt. Zachary D. Tellier, 31, of Charlotte, NC (USA) a combat infantryman with the 4th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, at Fort Bragg. He died Sept. 29, 2007, of wounds sustained while on a ground patrol in Afghanistan. Tellier’s unit was conducting a mounted patrol when one of its vehicles drove over and detonated a bomb, which set the vehicle on fire, according to a statement from the 82nd Airborne. Tellier pulled two paratroopers out of the vehicle to safety, suffering severe burns to his hands. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with valor for his actions. After he was burned, Tellier jumped up in the turret to return fire, said Sgt. Michael Layton, a member of Tellier’s unit. A lieutenant made Tellier get out of the vehicle because of his injuries, Layton said. Tellier is survived by his wife, Sara, his father, David, and his mother, Pamela.
This weekend we pause to remember Sgt. Tellier and all those who gave everything so that we can live the lives we do. With their sacrifice, the least we can do is honor their memory by pushing ourselves for 45 minutes of sweat.
We took a moment of silence to honor those who have sacrificed for us – then we closed in prayer.
Before our picture, Bob Ross suggested we end with the Pledge of Allegiance. Good decision! ‘Murica (a veteran himself) led us in the pledge.
