On March 23, 2003, Master Sergeant Michael Maltz, a U.S. Air Force PJ (Para-rescue) was killed in action in a helicopter crash along with 5 of his brother PJ's while attempting a rescue mission of injured/sick children in the mountains of Afghanistan. MSGT Maltz is the late brother of Derrick Maltz, Special Agent in Charge of SOD. According to those who were close to him, MSGT Maltz possessed an enormous amount of strength and stamina. Bearing this in mind, a workout was specifically developed that would be particularly challenging in honor of him. The 4th Annual MALTZ CHALLENGE is being held today by DEA Offices around the world in honor of MSGT Maltz and others who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country, we at CrossFit King of Prussia will honor Master Sergeant Michael Maltz by completing this WOD in his honor. Bearing this in mind, a workout was specifically developed that would be particularly challenging in honor of him.

Jerry said...

First off....Aimee thank you so much for hosting this honorary workout challenge for my co-workers. That is awesomely generous of you once again! ;)

Our offices around the world participate in this workout every year to honor those in our military that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our great nation.

There should be about 25 of us at the box today for the noon class...plus a few spectator/trash talkers..

Once we finish we will be heading over to Conshy for food, drinks and laughs.

Any and all are welcome.

Right on, Jerry! Thank you for your continued service.

Quoting all on rep one of the push ups, "holy s&%$!" Nice work moving through the suck of muscle fatigue morning crew!

Oh dear.. Always crazy wods.... Instead of debating on whether I'll survive this one, I'll see you later today ready to do this. Hats off to all the men and women who have served our country. This one's for you... Just make sure there's a stretcher there to carry me out after
