Before we complete our 4th and final ‘Hero WOD’ this semester, today’s workout will provide you all with another opportunity to earn a new PR!

Once complete, we will learn about the hero we are honoring today:“Griff,” aka USAF SSgt Travis L. Griffin, 28, was killed April 3, 2008 in the Rasheed district of Baghdad by an IED strike to his vehicle. While most Airmen (those who serve in the Air Force) deploy for only 4-6 month tours (?!?), SSgt Griffin volunteered to serve an entire year in Iraq. His mission put him in harms way daily, as he worked with a unit that helped build and trained Iraqi’s new police forces. Travis is survived by his son Elijah. You can learn more about SSgt Griffen by clicking on his picture below.
