Veteran's Day

I know I'm a little late but I decided to join with many crossfitters and do the "Murph" workout in honor of all the past, present, and future veterans of America. 


This workout was taken from 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.


Thanks to all the veterans out there.


WOD: Murph - run 1 mile, 100 pullups, 200 pushups, 300 squats, run 1 mile (you can partition up the pullups/pushups/squats as needed to optimize power output)


Time: 38:24 - Real real tough
