An excerpt is pasted below:<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">In case you\u2019re unfamiliar, \u201cMurph\u201d is a classic CrossFit workout known as a\u00a0<strong><em>Hero WOD<\/em><\/strong>. Hero WOD\u2019s are made by CrossFit to honor the men and women that have fallen in the line of duty. This one is specifically to honor Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, who was killed in action in Afghanistan on June 28th, 2005, and was awarded a posthumous Medal of Honor. The movie \u201cLone Survivor\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.historyvshollywood.com\/reelfaces\/lone-survivor.php\">depicts<\/a> his heroic actions and how he was killed.<\/p>\n<p>This workout itself was Michael\u2019s favorite workout to do, which at the time referred to it as \u201cBody Armor\u201d, hence the 20 lb vest or body armor as part of the workout prescription. So, every year, CrossFitters synonymously around the world pay special tribute to Lieutenant Murphy by joining together and suffering through this workout.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5043\" src=\"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/5673F6D5-6EE9-487F-ADB3-380E5D028E97.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/5673F6D5-6EE9-487F-ADB3-380E5D028E97.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/5673F6D5-6EE9-487F-ADB3-380E5D028E97-220x300.jpeg 220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Memorial Day Murph QIC: Van Gogh Date: 05\/28\/2018 PAX: All interested &nbsp; &nbsp; Launching from Leinbach Park @ 0800 after the Memorial Day convergence.
