Memorial Day Murph

I almost did the entire Murph RX... had to jump on the last 10 pull ups and dropped to my knees on my last 20 push ups... 53 minutes! I am really getting sore this afternoon... hopefully with the right amount of sleep and protein I will build more lean muscle from this crazy WOD!

I'm so late for this update but this year it took me 66 minutes to finish. I lost count of the push ups when some screamed good job at me. hehehehe. They say the hardest part of crossfit is keeping count.1

Just catching up. Did a half Murph at work on Wendesday, didn't keep accurate time, but just over 30 min doing chipper style with strict pull ups.
Full Murph on Monday, chipper style, no vest 62 min. Was really trying to break under an hour, but the push ups broke me off.
Our box had BBQ (well jambalaya), water slide, corn hole, and can jam (and beer) afterwards so a bunch of us hung out for the day "recovering"0 -
Nice, my gym had food as well but no water slide. Good idea for next year though.0

It's time of year again. My gym is doing Murph tomorrow and unlike last year we will have a water slide. Since I have to teach a Krav Maga class tomorrow I had to go ahead and get it out the way today. Last year it took me 1:06 with a green band. This year it took me 1:20 and I did kipping pull-ups, no band. So that is a nice accomplishment for me. I'm sitting at my desk having to get up every 15-20 minutes to walk around b/c my legs feel like they want to crap up.
Good luck everyone!!!!1 -

Yes one of those bouncy kids water slides. https://bouncepartyrentals.com/water-slide/1 -
Third Murph done today!! First time Rx as it is written. 62:02. Previous years have done 20 Rounds of 5-10-15. My box owner always has a pool party and BBQ every year after Murph at his house.1

Wow, killed it by almost 10 minutes. Way to go all out.1 -
Hey! New to the group!
I tackled Murph today as well! The squats got me!
I did it straight through.
51:36 No Vest/Chipper1 -
Murph 2018: It is so hot in Dallas, TX right now. But I did Murph in 73:11. This year was my first time doing the pull-ups with no band. I broke it up into 5 rounds. I was able to beat my time from last year. Afterwards we ate a lot of food and had a water slide for the kids, it was so tempting.2

Murph this year...ripped hands around the half way point- like bad ripped(blood dripping off the pull up bar bad)- not complaining, just missing my skin. But managed to only be 17 seconds longer then last year at 51:03. And my first 1 mile was done in under 8 minutes!0

I only did a half Murph this year. Unweighted.
My bodyweight strength has been so rubbish lately that I split the reps into 5 push-ups, 5 squats, 5 leg assisted recline row/pull-up hybrid (local park doesn't have many options to scale), 5 squats, 5 push-ups, 5 squats x 10. But I did end up doing an extra round because I kinda lost count.
First mile was about 9 mins, 2nd around 10. So about 45 mins total. Not great. Lots of room for progress. But I'll get better.0 -

Way to tack the workout with you had available. Murph can be exhausting. I am still feeling it today. I did not get up and go to the gym. I need a day of rest.0 -

WOW, I can’t imagine running a mile until 8 minutes. I know the pain of ripped hands but thankfully I didn’t rip this time. I had on my bear komplex wraps and they got me through. Way to go through!0 -
Yay for always being late in posts!
I did this for the first time, but I only did half. I was an idiot and was taking photos of everyone else doing it while I was attempting it, so naturally I didn't push myself as hard as I could have. I felt it at the end, sure, but I had a lot left in me. So, that was disappointing. He offered some group options involving buddy carries and multi-member barbell squats. It was a really fun day! The camaraderie was wonderful.
So, I did half with no vest in 44:19, and partitioned to 5 sets of 5, 10, 15.0 -
Great job everyone. I had to skip it this year because I worked until about 4am that Sunday. Look forward to doing it next year.0

Good job! Is just something to build off of.0 -
Murph- 2019
For time:
1 mile Run
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run
In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.0 -
For 2019 I broke it up differently. After the 1 mile run I did 5 push-ups, 5 pull-ups, 5 push-ups, and 15 squats. I finished at 1:29:42, which is 9 minutes slower than last year. This year I’ve been dealing with a very bad knee and I haven’t been working out consistently so I know I was going to have to dig deep for this one. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!1
