No scraped shins for me!

I got new socks!  I picked them up to protect my shins from certain lifts (deadlift, cleans) and also climbing the rope.  They worked very well!  Yes I intentionally got this color just in case you were wondering!  In continuing the weekly Hero WOD at CFI.......

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.

This is by far one of the most challenging WODs I have ever done but it was a great way to honor the Heroes.
