[7:57 PM]
Last year, the IPC committee thought it would be a great idea to use RED (Remember Everyone Deployed) WODs as the base for all our workouts. Since F3Greenwood planted its first shovel flag 10 years ago, RED WODs have been an integral part of our fabric as every Friday is REDFriday around here.

So, this week, for week 0 we present the Tellier WOD 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.

The previous April, 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. “Zachary Tellier has to be the biggest hero I’ve ever known or heard of, not just because of what he did, but because of his personality,” Layton said. “He came in the Army because he wanted to be around soldiers and serve his country, and he paid the ultimate sacrifice.”

Tellier is survived by his wife, Sara Tellier of Atlanta, Ga.; his father, David W. Tellier of Groton, Mass.; and his mother, Pamela Rodriguez, of Falmouth, Mass.

It’s widely agreed that the mark of a good Q is the pressing need to put your shirt directly into the washer because you can’t have it sitting around anywhere all wet and smelling like that. We know this now; this is not a new experience to any PAX.

Today was not such a Q. If Hands hadn’t been training for a marathon he could have just driven straight to work, put a white coat on, and started delivering babies. Cinco (Scott McGuire) picked a rock that was approximately 27% of his body weight, and he still didn’t sweat, except for when we talked about the possibility of getting a chunk of his junk removed at the dermatologist.

Speaking of Matlock (Bill Maddox) , we all play along with the fiction he’s cultivated – that a day like today, without one single step if running or even a SSH, is his kind of day – but I’ve seen him sprint, and I know the truth. Matlock is a gazelle and today was a disappointment for him.

Shoulder Blasters, stretchies, the Carlton. No mailbag, just the area surrounding a melanoma removed and some doctors orders to not run. Merkins and Big Boys followed by rock work, over and over. ATMs to finish up, because my weekend starts tomorrow. Off to see Wham-o (Charlie Greene) .

A fine morning indeed to be out there with you guys. It felt great, lack of running notwithstanding.

Faith can look a lot like abundant joy.

Go get naked for your dermatologist.
