Spc. Frederick Greene, 29, of Mountain City, Tennessee, Pfc. Aaron Thomas Nemelka, 19, of West Jordan, Utah, Pfc. Michael Pearson, 22, of Bolingbrook, Illinois, and Spc. Kham Xiong, 23, of St. Paul, Minnesota, along with eleven of the wounded were active CrossFitters in the 20th Engineer Battalion, home to Lumberjack CrossFit.

This was rough. It was an emotional workout as well as a physically tough workout. I did pull ups the 3 days before this. I did deadlifts heavy yesterday and one-handed 2 days earlier. I did burpees yesterday. Without doing some of these functions heavy this week, I probably could have knocked more than 5 minutes off my time. Deadlifts took me almost 5 minutes - all because of grip failure.
