Hero workouts demand an ability to filter pain that is learned over time. Before CrossFit, 150 Burpees would have been impossible. While CrossFitters still see 150 Burpees as a mother grabber, it's easier for them wrap their heads around the fact that it's completely doable as long as you're willing to endure some pain.

This was a good Hero workout. Thanks CFHQ.

Great job, and monster efforts everybody! Bonus points for just showing up on this one... Double bonus points for Paul, and Carrie- the Savage Race Saturday, and 'Riley' Sunday. That's heavy stuff!

Congratulations and HOOYAH! Todd, and Paige McK, Carrie, and Paul!

This workout is named in honor of U.S. Army Sergeant 1st Class Riley Stephens, assigned to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) who was killed September 28, 2012 in Wardak, Afghanistan. We honor his life and show our deepest appreciation through our sweat, and pain. We are fortunate to have men of this caliber willing to stand up for our Country, and beliefs. Thank you CFHQ for giving us the opportunity.

Thanks for another great day at CFSF.

On time, on target, never quit.
