Sorry we’re a little late on getting this WOD in the programming, as we wanted it on 2Feb, the date of Chris Kyle’s death.  With the release of “American Sniper” a good chunk of America has been made aware of the life of Chris Kyle.  Back in 2013, CrossFit Fire created a WOD  in his honor.  Today we will be doing this WOD.  Description down in WOD section.  To see Josh Tran’s original write up when he created the WOD, click on either of the above pics.

Metabolic Conditioning 1:

One 6″ target burpee every 10 seconds for 5 minutes

Strength:

A) Back Racked Lunge
      -3×20 Steps As Heavy As Possible
B) Chest2Bar Pullups
      -3×10 as fast as possible

A and B work is done as supersets. For example, perform a set of 20 Walking Lunges with the bar in the back rack, rest 60 seconds, then perform 10 C2B Pull Ups, then rest 60 seconds. Repeat until all sets are complete
