19 July 2013 - Coach April's Goodbye WOD!








  Today we say a bitter sweet goodbye to our very own Coach April Marie Jordan!

  Coach April joined Centurion CrossFit Fort Hood as an athlete back in September of 2009.  From day one, you could tell she had the drive, desire, and determination to be more than an just a CrossFit athlete!  Seeing so much potential in her motivation, our Founder Don Clarkson personally selected her to attend the CrossFit Level 1 Certification in July 2010 and from then the rest is history.

  April proceeded to fine tune her skills for months as a committed athlete and then in January 2011 when asked to assume Coaching responsibilities she accepted without reservation.  After a year of coaching, it was an easy decision to promote her to Head Coach in 2012.

  No athlete or coach to this day since our affiliate's inception as dedicated more of their time and energy as April.  As a dedicated Coach, she provided countless volunteer hours and selfless service to Fort Hood Soldiers and their families by demonstrating commitment to CrossFit principles and methodologies.  April personally coached well over 1,000 athletes during her tenure as a Centurion Coach and provided a service that most civilians pay well over $150 a month for free.   In the spirit of volunteerism, her passion and dedication reflect great credit on Centurion CrossFit Fort Hood, the III Corps and Fort Hood community, and CrossFit Headquarters!

  Centurion coaches and athletes will miss you dearly April!  Thank you so much for the time and energy that has made Centurion CrossFit Fort Hood the best non-profit all volunteer affiliate in the nation.  No matter where you go, you will always have a box to come home to and WOD!  You are and will always be a Centurion! And of course will always Be Unstoppable!


In her honor we will do a variant of her favorite WOD!

Happy 4th Centurions

Wod:

REST DAY!
Or 
150x reps of "the shake weight"

You all have earned it! 



On July 4, 1776, the thirteen colonies claimed their independence from England, an event which eventually led to the formation of the United States. Each year on July 4th, also known as Independence Day, Americans celebrate this historic event.

Conflict between the colonies and England was already a year old when the colonies convened a Continental Congress in Philadelphia in the summer of 1776. In a June 7 session in the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall), Richard Henry Lee of Virginia presented a resolution with the famous words: "Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved."

Lee's words were the impetus for the drafting of a formal Declaration of Independence, although the resolution was not followed up on immediately. On June 11, consideration of the resolution was postponed by a vote of seven colonies to five, with New York abstaining. However, a Committee of Five was appointed to draft a statement presenting to the world the colonies' case for independence. Members of the Committee included John Adams of Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Robert R. Livingston of New York and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia. The task of drafting the actual document fell on Jefferson.

On July 1, 1776, the Continental Congress reconvened, and on the following day, the Lee Resolution for independence was adopted by 12 of the 13 colonies, New York not voting. Discussions of Jefferson'sDeclaration of Independence resulted in some minor changes, but the spirit of the document was unchanged. The process of revision continued through all of July 3 and into the late afternoon of July 4, when the Declaration was officially adopted. Of the 13 colonies, nine voted in favor of the Declaration, two -- Pennsylvania and South Carolina -- voted No, Delaware was undecided and New York abstained. John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress, signed the Declaration of Independence. It is said that John Hancock's signed his name "with a great flourish" so England's "King George can read that without spectacles!"

Today, the original copy of the Declaration is housed in the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and July 4 has been designated a national holiday to commemorate the day the United States laid down its claim to be a free and independent nation.
