Sgt Major Jerry Dwayne Patton, 40, died on 15 October 2008 during High Altitude High Opening (HAHO) training while assigned to Army USSOCOM preparing for deployment to Afghanistan. Jerry is survived by his wife Molly and his sons Chad, Cody, Chase and Connor.

Stimulus

Overview: Today's Hero workout is Jerry, very straightforward and simple on paper but will require very intentional pacing and paying attention to where our mind goes. As with all hero workouts, we want to get comfortable being uncomfortable and remember that we have the privilege of doing hard things every single day.
Runs: 10:00 or less.
Row: 10:00 or less.
Score: Time to complete work.

Strategy

Athletes should aim to be somewhere around their 5k Run and 5k Row paces during the first two parts, this should allow them to maintain this or push the pace on their second run.
Long periods of time in monostructural movement can let our mind start dictating how we think we're feeling throughout, it's important to remember that your mind will check out long before your body in this piece. Do your best to stay on task.
