Memorial Day MURPH
First Heat 8:45am!
For those you who don’t know, “Murph” was one of the first “Hero WODs” posted on the CrossFit main site. Hero WODs are dedicated to heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us. Over the years, CrossFit has released scores of Hero WODs dedicated to some amazing men and women, but Murph remains as the most famous. It has become a tradition at many CrossFit gyms to perform Murph every Memorial Day to help honor and remember all the service men and women who gave their lives. I’m proud to say this is our 3rd Annual Memorial Day Murph.
Memorial Day COOKOUT starting at 3pm at our house! Hope everyone can make it!
Memorial Day Schedule Update: There will be no Open Gym on Sunday May 25th. On Monday, May 26th, we will ONLY have class at 8:30 and 9:30am!!

WORKOUT OF THE DAY
Fitness
“Murph”
1 mile Run
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run
For time.
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.
In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, NY, 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.
