Plan Ahead Now For Murph
It’s happening on Monday, May 28th. Memorial Day. We will meet at 10AM to work hard in honor of those that died in service to our country. In particular we think of Michael Murphy. This is more than just a workout. It is a tradition that helps push us, humble us, and dedicate a bit of pain and sweat to honor a man who gave everything he had.
Murph” is a CrossFit Hero WOD named after Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005. He was 29, of Patchogue, N.Y. Lt Murphy was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor after his death. The workout was one of Mike’s favorites and he’d named it ‘Body Armor.’
Lt. Murhpy was a big reader. His family set up a scholarship in his honor. We invite you to donate to the Murph Scholarhip Fund HERE. In addition, here is a message from his father to all who complete the WOD, and also those who donate to the fund.
Feel free to bring your own weight vest if you want to increase the work load. Plan ahead now, and please note that the gym will open at 10AM on Memorial Day.
