Weather: fantastic weather to get better in.
PAX rolled in and it was time to get started.
Warmup:
SSH x 15
Humpies x 15
ATT x 10
The Thang:
We aren’t normally known for doing Hero WOD’s, but being Memorial Day, it seemed like a good time to break one out. And what better one to break out thank one of the most famous WODs to be thrown out during a GORUCK event. The Murph. Here’s how it went down… we modified some since we have no place for pull-ups (and YHC can’t do them). We also broke the reps up into 4 sets.
1 Mile Run
Overhead Press w/ coupon x 25
Merkin x 50
Squats x 75 (rinse and repeat though 4 sets)
Finish with another 1 Mile Run
I put this together thinking it wouldn’t be too hard if we broke the sets up. I was severely mistaken. That was rough regardless of how it was broken up. It is definitely a humbling exercise and shows you just how much better you can be.
Take a moment this weekend, and it wouldn’t hurt to do it more often than that, and be thankful for those who have given their lives to protect our freedoms, and say a prayer for their families as well.
Pedro out!
