Tuesday 40213 - Hero WOD Griff

Tomorrow the workout will take place at the Track on the corner of Aviation and Manhattan Beach Blvd. please meet at the track as the whole training session will be held there. We will be honoring fallen soldier in what is referred to as a "Hero" WOD. These men and women gave their lives in the line of duty and as such we will go out and give our best to honor their sacrifice despite what we perceive as a hard training session.


"Griff" is a CrossFit Hero WOD named after USAF SSgt Travis L. Griffin, 28, who was killed April 3, 2008 in the Rasheed district of Baghdad by an IED strike to his vehicle. Travis is survived by his son Elijah. Griff first appeared on the CrossFit website 9 June 2008.


This is the date in which Griffin lost his life five years ago. Every month we will do one Hero WOD as a tribute to these brave men and women.
