U.S. Marine Corps Corporal Larry D. Harris, Jr., 25, was killed in a fire fight on July 1, 2010, while serving as Fire Team Leader, 3d Squad, 81 Millimeter Mortar Platoon, Weapons Company, Third Battalion, First Marines, Regimental Combat Team 7, FIRST Marine Division (Forward), I MEF (Forward) in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

Harris was posthumously awarded the Silver Star for his bravery in action. As stated in his letter of commendation: “When the squad's machine gunner was shot in the leg, Corporal Harris immediately moved from his covered position while still under heavy fire, with complete disregard for his own safety ... . Corporal Harris unhesitatingly picked up the wounded Marine and carried him to the medical evacuation site, once again exposing himself to effective enemy fire from multiple directions. As he moved through a vineyard while carrying the wounded Marine, Corporal Harris struck an improvised explosive device, absorbing the majority of the explosion with his body. Although his injuries would prove fatal, Corporal Harris ultimately saved the life of the wounded Marine.”

Harris is survived by his wife, Stacia Janice Harris, and his parents, Bruce and Lora Merriweather.

After 17 years of CrossFit I still haven’t learnt. On the weekend, it happened to me again, I massively underestimated a workout and it completely ruined me.

21 - 18 - 15 - 12 - 9 - 6 - 3 reps for time of:
Knees to elbows
Double dumbbell thrusters (15/10kg)

Now a caveat and so maybe it was my fault. I did 150 KTE on Friday night and so changed the workout to be Chest to bar pull ups…
Holy burning lunging Batman! Absolutely awful and the special feeling was long lasting.

A very gassy and cheeky sprint awaits you, do not do a me…

Dry those tears, I know it’s hard. The last bank holiday of the year.

Which by the way begs the questions, why can’t the shellfish buggers give us another one to enjoy when we desperately need it most… in the depths of winter. Some companies genuinely call it a duvet day.
