Fallen DCs[]
One thing of note is the special category of workouts called Fallen DCs. These are workouts dedicated and named after individuals who have lost their lives in the line of duty. They are mostly comprised of workouts named after military personnel who portrayed uncommon valor, but can also include police officers, firefighters, and other public service professionals. These workouts are also traditionally more difficult than the regularly occurring ones.
