Marine Sgt. Christopher Hrbek of Westwood NJ
Todays workout is a special one. This workout is in memory of Westwoods son Chris Hrbek. He was a brave soldier and a kind heart. From all the articles we read about him he was nothing less than a selfless hero who put others before himself. Whether it be on the front line of duty at war, or back home serving his community as a firefighter, He was always ready to lead. Today when you come to workout don’t think of it as a workout to get in shape, but a celebration of a man who lost his life so people like us can live ours. Our hearts n prayers are with Chris’s family today, with respect and honor, rest in peace.
We will be collecting donations for the Wounded Warrior Project and/or The Sgt. Christopher R. Hrbek, USMC Scholarship Fund, c/o Pascack Community Bank, 21 Jefferson Avenue, Westwood, NJ 07675

This looks like a great workout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I expect you to be carrying a full 50 lbs JohnO!
Looking forward to this “Chris” workout…. Nice of Crossfit IGNITE to honor a local Westwood soldier who fought and died on our behalf.
Great workout today guys!!! Brad you rowed like 100,000 meters today you are a rowing maniac!!! Deb G is also putting up some impressive meters!!!
Did I mention that this WOD is going to kick butt?????
As for the rowing, I think we should have a few of these rowing challenges in the year, perhaps adding in some running ones, too. I have a list of incredible races planned for the next year, and I’ll be sure to hit you all up for those.
My God bless Sgt Hrbek, his family and loved-ones and his fellow Marines, Solders and Airmen.
Nice to see folks last night. I’m not a recluce.
Brutal workout today and very cold at 6 AM!! but thinking about the reason we are doing it is really motivating. I was dying on the 3rd round doing the push press when I looked up and saw the American flag. Thanks for creating this WOD, Steve and for helping us to honor Sgt Hrbek!

This was brutal!….. I wanted to quit after round 1. Had to start walking some of the 1/4 mile in the second round.. Did everything RX and made sure to do full range reps on all.. Push Press was the rest if that makes any sense..
Sorry I can’t workout with you guys today i wish i could but i appreciate you dedicating the workout to Chris today. You guys are awesome,stay strong and kick ass on the workout today for Chris

Workout was awesome today. Nice to get out and run with beautiful weather. My thoughts and prayers are with Sgt Chris Hrbeks family. RIP and thank-you for giving your life to keep me and my family safe.

Sgt Chris Hrbek was a great dude , and a stellar marine
i gave it all i got .
semper fi brother you ,will be missed
It does not look like I can make it today as I had planned. I have a cable hanging from my house in the middle of the street and have no idea when Verizon will show up when they say “Between now and 8pm”. I hope the “Chris” workout, and the honor that goes with it, will remain part of Ignite in the future.
Before “someone” tells you that I am a communist and that I hate America, I would like to set the record straight. I am not a communist. I love America. I love all of you. Oh, yes… YOU, too.
I will not make it to the gym tonight for the Hero Memorial WOD.
However, I will make it in tomorrow night, and will do tonight’s workout then with Coach’s approval… followed by Friday’s WOD… so I guess this means that I had better get my arse to the gym for 5:00….
19:19 RX………….I just drove home 15 minutes and am still breathing strangely.
