As a last minute substitution Q, my mind returned to Memorial Day.\u00a0 I regretted not being in town to complete my first Murph.\u00a0 As of the writing of this BB, I will never regret missing a Murph or be able to forget my miserable attempt to complete it.\u00a0 (For evidence of my pull-up success, see my partner, Cherry Pie – he did about fifty curls of 170 lbs)<\/p>\n

A Murph consists of running a mile, doing 100 pull-ups, 200 merkins, and 300 squats; then running another mile.\u00a0 Looked possible on paper, but so does Duke keeping all their BB recruits for 4 years.<\/p>\n

It was a warm, humid morning full of derision and MC – in fact, I think a record was set when the Q began to receive grief during the F3 Mission statement.\u00a0 However, the good thing about a Murph is how it quells MC quickly.\u00a0 We had a great group – a lot of young guns.\u00a0 We worked hard and there were impressive efforts noted – Cheesesteak, The Vig, Tonka, Gelding, Van Gogh and\u00a0maybe Drip? were a few I remembered knocking out the pull-ups.\u00a0 Mutton and Lamb Chop had a wonderful conversation while running their first mile.\u00a0\u00a0I did not hear it all since I fell behind them in oxygen debt and lost touch.\u00a0 Credit to Cherry Pie and Snookie for making the second mile look easy.\u00a0 And welcome to Shake Weight – his background was given by a very informed Tonka.\u00a0 FNG,\u00a0now “Shake Weight” is in shape and is another really nice young guy in F3 who smiles too much when I am in pain.\u00a0 He is in W-S from Ohio for the Fellows Program and counts his macros (whatever).<\/p>\n

And if pain and suffering build\u00a0F3 fellowship, today gave me as much “fellowship” as I can handle.\u00a0 Great job men.\u00a0 It was an honor.\u00a0 Thanks for the keys Glazer.\u00a0 I think I left them on top of my car.<\/p>\n

In case you\u2019re unfamiliar, \u201cMurph\u201d is a classic CrossFit workout known as a\u00a0Hero 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\u00a0depicts<\/a>\u00a0his heroic actions and how he was killed.<\/p>\n

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
