Around 2008, Dave Castro was a SEAL Qualification Training instructor down in Coronado when he met Wilkinson, who was already a SEAL and going through the course again after re-enlisting. “We kinda treated him differently because he was already one of us,” Castro said. The two developed a rapport and stayed in touch over the years especially as Wilkinson’s wife Sara became a L4 coach and flowmaster, who owned CrossFit Odyssey in Virginia Beach, where Chad was stationed. When Sara spoke at her husband’s funeral, she recounted a recent story when she walked into the garage to find Wilkinson doing step-ups wearing a backpack. He was training to climb Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in South America, by doing 1000 step-ups at a time. “You need to make that a Hero workout,” one of the CrossFit L1 seminar staff attendees whispered to Dave. 

Together with Sara Wilkinson, we bring you the hero workout "Chad", in honor of Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson who took his life on October 29, 2018 due to the effects of numerous deployments, several TBIs, blast wave injuries and PTSD. Our goal is to honor Chad's life and legacy and by raising awareness for suicide prevention.

Today we honor all Veterans who have served the country in war or in peace.  Thank you to ALL Veterans for their sacrifice.

"CHAD"

for time:

1000 step ups (35/45# to a 20" box)

Coaches Notes:

Bring a backpack to use for this workout and we can fill it with the appropriate weight for you. Other scaling can come in terms of a reduction of height on the box and or volume of step ups.
