SFC Kristoffer Domeij was killed on 22 October 2011 in Afghanistan's Kandahar province when the assault force he accompanied triggered an unseen roadside bomb. He was married with two young daughters.  Killed alongside Domeij were 1LT Ashley White, 24, a Cultural Support Team member, and fellow Ranger PFC Christopher A. Horns, 20.


Post time and loads to comments and whiteboard. 


Coach's Notes. 

This WOD was created in honor of SFC Kristoffer Domeij, coworker and friend of one of our own IMCF athletes.  He was the 2/75 Ranger Battalion Fire Support NCO and on his 14th deployment when he was killed.  SFC Domeij was "one hell of an NCO and man," and we honor his memory with one hell of a WOD.

Equipment requirements and personalized loads make this a difficult WOD to program for a large group.  The intent of the challenge is for you to work it in sometime over the course of the week -- separate lunch or PM session, or if desired sub for the main WOD. That said, be smart about how you work it in, especially if you are following the additional skill and strength IMCF programming.  (UPDATE - See comments for planned WODs this week to help you find a time).  The BW basis should self-scale, but any way you cut it this WOD has you moving a lot of weight.  Scale rep scheme or reduce loads further as needed.

Encourage you to coordinate small group start times in comments...it's a bear of a WOD and you will benefit from a push by some training partners.  Post results here throughout the week.
