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.
Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you’ve got a twenty pound vest or body armor, wear it. ~ www.crossfit.com

1/2 Murph

For time:
Run 800m
50 Pull-ups
100 Push-ups
150 Air Squats
Run 800m

Partner Murph

For time:
Run 800m
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Air Squats
Run 800m

Work in teams of 2. Both partners run the 800m, then split the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed with only one person working at a time. 20 rounds of Cindy, split 10 and 10, works well. Then both partners run another 800 m. Log total time. Specify partner in notes.

Today was a big SRCF Community turnout for our 10th annual Murph Challenge. With perfect weather again this year for Memorial Day we had 62 people show up to honor our fallen and cheer one another on. It was great to see such a huge participation!
