MURPH!

I feel like I have been falling behind a bit so I am trying to catch up.  I had to travel this weekend so I could not get a workout in on Friday.  I used the hotel gym on Saturday for my WOD.  I knew I couldn't do the posted one since the hotel didn't have most of the equipment I needed so for some reason I did one of the hardest Crossfit workouts I could remember.  I did the Murph.  This consists of running a mile then 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 squats, and then running another mile. 

I have done this workout a few times before.  I knew it was tough but I thought the last time I did it I finished in around 30 minutes which would be perfect for how much time I had.  Well I don't know what happened this time but it took me 38 minutes to finish and I was exhausted.  Maybe I miscounted but I just could barely get through this workout.  At least I made it through and still got a workout in while traveling.

I ended up not working out on Sunday do to lack of time on my trip.  I made up for it on Sunday though with the filthy 50:

50 Box jump, 24 inch box
50 Jumping pull-ups
50 Kettlebell swings, 1 pood
Walking Lunge, 50 steps
50 Knees to elbows
50 Push press, 45 pounds
50 Back extensions
50 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball
50 Burpees
50 Double unders

On paper I didn't think this looked that bad.  None of the exercises are crazy and all the weights are light.  But 50 reps is pretty rough.  When I got to the Knees to Elbows my grip was done.  I just couldn't hold on anymore.  I said a few workouts ago that I really didn't mind Burpees.  I may be changing my mind.  This workout took me 37:20.  I was pretty surprised how long it took especially after seeing some times posted online.  Oh well.  I can only get better.
