Daily WOD – May 28, 2012

What a great group! Thanks for joining us today to honor our lost military heroes!

“MURPH”

Complete for time:

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

In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.  See a summary of the story of Lt. Michael Murphy here.

WOD Notes: This is a hero workout, and if you couldn’t already tell, it’s a doozy! We’re performing it today in honor of all the men and women who died serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. This workout calls for a 20# weight vest for guys and 10# for girls, but only wear the vest if you know you can finish! We have a limited number of weight vests available. The WOD must start and end with the run, but you can split up the pull ups, push ups, and squats as desired. Most people do 20 rounds of 5 pull ups, 10 push ups, and 15 squats.

A good scale for this workout is to complete exactly half of the distances and reps. (800m run, 50 pull ups, 100 push ups, 150 squats, 800m run.) Compare half Murph results to 111015 (or check that week’s make up night)

Schedule Notes: There is ONE CLASS ONLY today – at 10:00am. See you there!
