Note: This year we will be adding a bit of a twist. In years past I have seen other gyms do a “suffer in silence” version of Murph….meaning they did the workout with NO MUSIC…we are going to give that a try this year. If you want to wear your own headphones and listen to your own personal music, you may do so, but in the gym we WILL NOT be playing music…Partially for the mental aspect, but more significantly to pay tribute and reflect on those heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Monday’s WOD:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
225 pound Deadlift, 6 reps
7 Burpee pull-ups
10 Kettlebell swings, 2 pood
Run 200 meters
Hey grasshoppas, here is another date to put on your calendar: May 18th! Katie Arnold and Samantha Laufer will be at the gym to throw down a WOD, and raise support and awareness for their cause, “50 States In a Year”
Taken from their website, below is a brief description of what they do!
“50 States In A Year is a year-long charity fundraising tour where we travel to all 50 states in a single year while raising money for charity. As we travel to each state we visit different CrossFit boxes and host fundraising events. Through our partnership with Sweat Angels we’re able to give to a different charity every month and ultimately have an even bigger impact and change more lives!
As we travel the country and meet new people, we also hope to spread the health, wellness and fitness message. If we can stay healthy and active while on the road, then anyone can do it at home!”
The charity they will be raising funds for this month is through Habitat For Humanity International, with hopes of providing relief and shelter for Nepali earthquake victims.
They will be at the gym for the day on the 18th to raise awareness, answer questions, collect donations (done electronically at the gym), and of course join you all in a grueling workout! BE THERE!

Hey grasshoppas, mark your calendar because there are some good happenings coming down the pike this month that you won’t want to miss! One of those noteworthy dates will be Memorial Day Murph! As an annual tradition the only time we do the hero WOD “Murph” is on or around Memorial day. This year we will be doing it as a class a week early on Saturday May 16th for all of the Saturday classes! There are no tournaments for me that weekend, and I will be able to coach and participate that day! Memorial Day is on Monday May 25th, and although I will be umpiring that day, I will still have a condensed schedule that day! If you are interested in getting a T-Shirt or donating to the Murph Foundation you can get more info in the link below! http://themurphchallenge.com/
