"Hero's Week"
"Murph"
For time:
Run a mile
100 Pullups
200 Pushups
300 Squats
Run a mile
Partition the pullups, pushups and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you've got a twenty pound vest or body armor, wear it.
This workout was one of Mike's favorites and he'd named it 'Body Armor.'
Murph was awarded the Medal of Honor for his unequaled bravery and valor in the face of overwhelming opposition on the deadliest day of battle in US history for the Navy SEALs. For a description of that day, click here.
An eyewitess account of that day can be read about in the incredible book, "Lone Survivor" by Marcus Luttrell.

I read the book amidst a busy work/family/training schedule in only four or five days. I can't recommend it high enough for crossfitters. GREAT book.
I'll definitly be wearing a 20lb weight vest from here on out whenever I do this WOD.

I did "Murph" on the day I found out I was pregnant. As Rx'd 50:42. Ask Wade what his time was...unbelievably fast!
Rest day for me today, ya'll have fun!

Worked out at a leisurely pace with Mindy this morning. It was fun, and it felt good to focus on form on the OHS. 65lbs felt light.
Great job everyone doing Murph, especially Romney and Ailee for completing it as rx'd!
