On August 5, 2010, a cave-in left 33 Chilean miners trapped nearly half-a-mile underground. For 17 days, they had no contact with the outside world – no one knew if they were dead or alive. As of Thursday’s class (10/14/2010), all 33 miners had been pulled from their subterranean retreat, just under 3 months since the cave-in. As a send-up, Thursday’s class performed a little Chilean-miner tribute:

That works out to: ~300m run, followed by 33 reps each of pull-ups, thrusters, K2E, KB swings, ~300m run, 17 reps of each exercise, & ~300m run (the exact order of the exercises was your choice).

I think I can comfortably speak for all of us when I say “many happy returns of the day” to the 33 miners and their families.
