Holiday Schedule

We will be closed July 3rd, 4th and 5th in observance of Independence Day. However, we will do "Murph" on Friday the 3rd at 10:30 AM. Everyone is welcome to participate.

This is taken from the CrossFit FAQ regarding this workout:

In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005. This workout was one of Mike's favorites and he'd named it 'Body Armor.' From here on it will be referred to as 'Murph' in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is.

1 mile run
100 pull-ups
200 push-ups
300 squats
1 mile run

Wear a vest if you like or don't - either way it's a tough one!

I have a really sharp vest black with some nice pinstripes. So why do I want to wear it on the workout?

cathmac said...

Dean Armand said...

Jeremy - is there a time limit to this....as far as you not wanting to be at the gym all day. We're thinking about doing it but I honestly believe it would take me 2 hours to complete that.

Dean Armand said...

you can do it! I will bring the Bud light lime and some rose' if that will help...

cathmac said...

Can we just do the M U in murph?

Terry Mc said...

Derek,

I did a half Murph last time in about 2x:00, that might be a good compromise?

Jeremy said...

Nah, go as long as you want to go. I think I was over an hour when we did it last time. It was a very memorable workout and worth the effort.

Dean Armand said...

I will be bringing post-Murph beers. Yes Lorie; Bud Light Lime the rose' of beer...

cathmac said...

You know... It is still a crime that I cannot partake in good beer... but really... Bud light lime is like a windex compared to corona light with a REAL lime in it!
