The Thing:

The last Tuesday of each month, we test ourselves with attemping The Murph WOD:

  • 1 mile
  • 100 pullups
  • 200 merkins
  • 300 squats
  • 1 mile

Each Pax did an amazing job, many finishing with a sub-40 min time.  We had 2 Pax join Murph City for the first time – @Coco and @Hans  gruber.  And Gruber came with a weighted vest, crushed it.  @Office Party (with broken toe) still delivered a sub-40 Murph time.
