For the history on the workout:
In Remembrance of Hero and decorated Navy SEAL, Ryan Job, 3/11/81 – 9/24/2009
Ryan Job survived more than 20 firefights in Iraq. In 2006, Ryan was covering a crew of about 25 SEALs when a sniper’s bullet struck him in the face. Ryan kept his composure, sat himself up and tried to comfort his teammates, telling them he would be okay. Ryan survived and overcame his wounds and blindness to climb Mt. Rainier in 2008. On Sept. 24, 2009, we lost Ryan due to complications with the operation to repair his eye.
Ryan was a highly decorated Navy SEAL, a hunter, a mountaineer, a husband and a father to a daughter that he never had a chance to meet. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle was Ryan’s teammate and wrote The New York Times Best Seller, American Sniper, in Ryan’s honor.
Ryan lived his faith daily, used his physical condition to inspire those around him, placed his faith in a loving God and fought against the temptation to become a victim.
This workout was Ryan’s favorite training session. He did it three times a week to prepare for his Mt. Rainier summit.
These Hero WODs are challenging, but remember, whenever you do a Hero WOD, those individuals gave our country everything they had and paid the ultimate price – your pain and discomfort are temporary.
See you Monday at 8:30 a.m.
3, 2, 1, Go…
