Notes
Today on Veterans day, we’re doing a benchmark workout commemorating Greg Rahoi. While Veteran’s day honors all who have served in the armed forces, not just those who have passed away in service, we still thought it would be appropriate to mark the day with the Rahoi workout. See the text below to learn more about this workout’s namesake.
The reps in this workout are small enough where everything should be unbroken and the only question is what pace can you maintain. Hit it hard everyone!
Rahoi
On December 6, 2006, Supervisory Special Agent Gregory J. Rahoi was accidentally shot and fatally wounded at Fort A.P. Hill in Caroline County, Virginia during a live-fire tactical training exercise designed to prepare FBI Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) personnel for their deployments to Iraq. Supervisory Special Agent Rahoi was a member of the HRT for six years, during which he served three tours in Iraq. Prior to joining the FBI in 1997, he worked as a firefighter, paramedic, and police officer in Wisconsin. He was posthumously awarded the FBI Medal of Valor for acts of heroism during his final Iraq tour, and his family was presented with the FBI Memorial Star.
