In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.  Unfortunately, the Combat PT Tent is not able to do a special event for this WOD this year, but it is still the workout of the day, so feel free to do this either at the Combat PT Tent or over at the track.

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.

Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you’ve got a twenty-pound vest or body armor, wear it.

With only 90 seconds of work at a time, look to hit a pretty fast pace on each machine every round.  The 30 second break should be just enough to get the heart rate back under control before tackling the next movement.
