WOD:
Christopher Scott “Chris” Kyle (April 8, 1974 − February 2, 2013) was a United States Navy SEAL and the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. Kyle served four tours in the Iraq War and was awarded several commendations for acts of heroism and meritorious service in combat. He received two Silver Star Medals, five Bronze Star Medals, one Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals and numerous other unit and personal awards. Kyle was honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy in 2009 and published his bestselling autobiography, American Sniper, in 2012. An eponymous film adaptation of Kyle’s book, directed by Clint Eastwood, was released two years later. Chris was a devoted son, brother, husband and father in North Texas, as well as continuing his efforts to helping Veterans re-acclimate to civilian life and combat stress carried home. Kyle was shot dead at a shooting range near Chalk Mountain, Texas. His friend, Chad Littlefield, age 35, was also killed.
The three rounds represent his wife and two children left behind. The 4 movements represent Chris’s 4 tours in Iraq. The total reps for each round equaling to 160 repetitions represent his total confirmed kills.
“Chris Kyle” was first posted on the website of GOT CrossFit (Lakeland, FL) as the workout of the day for February 2, 2016.

Chris Kyle: 32:06 | 40 Reps | 26# KBS | 35# Thruster | 20” Elevated Box Push Ups
This is a fantastic WOD to honor a Hero! It was great to see so many people grind it out! Kudos to Michelle for getting those final 7 Push Ups! 👊 For me, the thruters were the toughest part and I loved the elevated Push Ups. Thanks Frozen for giving us the opportunity to do this workout…and thanks also for the cues on the thrusters 😬
31:19 35# KBS | 45# Thrusters | 24″ box
This one hurt a lot. I found it difficult to get back to the box jumps on the second and third rounds, but kept it moving. Short rests and pushing through the discomfort. Great WOD!
34:11 rx. Fun one to grind out. Kept the swings and thrusters o 3 sets or less.
