Make Every Minute Count

Today’s workout is in memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.

“This workout was one of Mike’s favorites and he’d named it “Body Armor”. From here on it will be referred to as “Murph” in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is.” ~ via www.crossfit.com.

Kilo Members~please read more about our hero Michael Murphy.  Then, complete this wod in honor of his heroism and the ultimate sacrifice he and others have given for our freedoms.  There is no better way but to sacrifice less than an hour today to say thank you.  Make sure to post on the blog!
