Today’s workout, the day and our lives are here because of those who served so that we can live.  May we all remember them and reward their sacrifices by living better and giving our best efforts to make the world better than when they left us!

DELAY MECHANISM

SSHs

Murkins – after all, we are in America and we are proud Americans!

Iron Mikes

without delay…

THE THANG

The Murph

Lt. Michael Murphy – far right and everyone else in this picture with the exception of Luttrell  (third from right) gave the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan during Operation Redwing on June 28, 2005 (exactly 13 years and one month ago from today).  The workout is in memory of Murphy.  However, and taking absolutely nothing away from Murphy, this picture illustrates how many sacrifice who aren’t honored as much or at all.  Please keep them in mind as well (Matt Axelson, Dan Healy, James Suh, Marcus Luttrell (survived), Eric Patton, Michael Murphy).  The particular operation on the day Murphy died, only had four total SEALS v. 50+ enemies.  Only Axelson, Murphy, Luttrell and a fourth not pictured here Danny Dietz v. 50+ and these four took out more than 35.

Let us have at least half the effort and resolve as our fallen heroes…

1 mile run

100 pull ups

200 push ups

300 squats

1 mile run

Then…to the field

25 weighted thrusters

suicides down length of field

50x LBCs –

rinse and repeat

back to circle for small PT work

COT

Name FNGs – Welcome Floppy Disk and 50 Cent.
