The World War II operation code named Operation Overlord was conducted by 160,000 Allied Troops consisting of soldiers, sailors, and airman from the United States, Great Britain, and Canada. Over 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircraft deposited airborne and infantry troops across a 50 mile stretch of coastline in the Normandy region of France. The Allied Forces suffered 9,000 casualties; close to half (4,413) were fatalities. Of the fatalities, roughly 2,500 were American losses.

The amphibious invasion was preceded by the Airborne Assault of over 20,000 airborne troopers parachuted or landed in gliders behind enemy lines. The amphibious invasion was conducted across five beaches code named Omaha and Utah beaches were assigned to US Forces. Sword, Gold and Juno were assigned to British and Canadian Forces.

Phase 1 signifies the code name of the operation. 1944 meter Row signifies the year that the troops left England by boat across the channel. The 60/300 signifies the amphibious invasion kicked off at 6:30 AM.

"Dork (Florian)"

AMRAP in 20 minutes
33 calorie Row
15 Deadlifts (225/155 lb)
4 Rope Climbs

CrossFit Florian (Norwood, MA, USA) describes their gym as "a family, heavily comprised of Boston Firefighters and First Responders from surrounding towns." Their community was shaken on March 26, 2014 when two Boston Firefighters [Mike and Ed] made the ultimate sacrifice. This workout was named for Mike "Dork" Kennedy, who was also active in the local CrossFit community.

"Fire Lieutenant Ed Walsh of Engine Co. 33 was 43 and had just over 9 years of service with the BFD. Ed was married with 2 sons and a daughter, all under the age of 10. Firefighter Mike "Dork" Kennedy of Ladder Co. 15 was 33 and had a little over 6 years of service with the BFD. Mike was a Marine, a CrossFitter and member of the motocycle club American Infidels."

"Take solace in knowing Mike and Ed were doing what they loved to do, and the great many people they have helped in their lives. Without brave men like them, the world would be a much different place. May they both rest easy and their memories never be forgotten."

CrossFit Florian first hosted an open event featuring this workout on April 6, 2014. The gym asked participants in the workout help raise funds for the families of Mike and Ed via the Boston Firefighters Credit Union (www.bosfirecu.com). The workout was adopted by multiple other CrossFit gyms in the Boston area and beyond.

Gym owner Bill Malcomb tells us the significance of the 4 rope climbs is "that firehouse (33/14) resides in district 4." He also said the workout was originally created as a 20:14 AMRAP, to represent the year of Mike and Ed's passing.
