Playing the Fool

Posted by SethHarder at 1:17 PM

I failed to consult the random selector before heading to the gym, so I have no one to blame but myself. I foolishly selected this "Hero" WOD, originally posted to crossfit.com on August 18, 2005

"Murph" - For time:
  • 1 mile Run
  • 100 Pull-ups
  • 200 Push-ups
  • 300 Squats
  • 1 mile Run
Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you have a twenty pound vest or body armor, wear it.

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.

Results:
  • Seth - 43:03, as Rx'd

Phew. I am going to be drowsy this afternoon.
Time was only 11 seconds slower than last time. Feel pretty good about that.
