Memorial Day Murph - Fire Fighter Style Workout

We had a great turn out at the box for the Memorial Day fun. 6 of us took to Murph while 3 (or 4) others did an alternate WOD.

Being the morons that we are, Alan (coach) and I went through with it and donned most of our fire fighter gear for our Murph (turnouts and SCBA tank … boots and helmets not used). I weighed it all and we were carrying around about 37 pounds of gear.

The pull ups particularly sucked with that amount of weight. The bigger issue to combat, however, was the (body) heat. We actually had a very cool morning for it, but you just burn up in turnouts when you’re moving.

The last mile “run”? Holy @#^$ did it suck! First mile was completed in 9:52. The second took around 15:30.

Murph:
1 Mile Run
100 Pull Ups
200 Push Ups
300 Squats
1 Mile Run

Wearing 37 lbs of fire fighter gear.

We broke the non-run exercises into 20 rounds of 5 pull ups, 10 push ups, and 15 squats.

Took Alan and I about 15-20 minutes longer than everyone else (he finished between 5-10 minutes ahead of me).
