Murph 2023 Check below for details! We are excited and honored to come together for Murph again this year! ----------------------------------- About Murph: Memorial Day is a powerful day of reflection, remembrance and honor for all Americans. As CrossFitters we have our own way of embracing this day and honoring those who gave everything for us to have freedom and the ability to live in the greatest country in the world. We do this by tackling the workout "Murph" together. For those unfamiliar, “Murph” is a classic CrossFit workout known as a Hero WOD. Hero WOD’s are made by CrossFit to honor the men and women who have fallen in the line of duty. This one specifically honors Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, who was killed in action in Afghanistan on June 28th, 2005. "Murph" 1 mile Run 100 Pull-Ups 200 Push-Ups 300 Air Squats 1 mile Run *With a 20 lb Vest or Body Armor This workout was Michael’s favorite workout to do, and at the time referred to it as “Body Armor” -- hence the 20 lb vest or body armor as part of the workout prescription. So, every year, CrossFitters all around the world pay special tribute to all fallen veterans by joining together and taking on this challenging workout together. This is a special time to reflect, remember and honor those who have sacrificed all so that we may enjoy the freedoms we have. What better way than to come together in remembrance. Today is not about us, it is about honoring the fallen. It is about putting ourselves through something HARD and going through it TOGETHER. It is remembering that we are blessed to be where we are now and this blessing should not be taken for granted. For many creating and preserving this blessing COST everything. "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."
