Jenn H!
Elise and I were tripping out about you doing a whole 5 rounds of kipping pullups and toe pushs. That is so super tough and commendable!! Plus you did had a freakin fast time!! You are offically my sHero!!!

We couldn't pass this one up! We both had to work on Saturday, so instead, we did it together on Sunday. We both ran on treadmills, so somewhat different than the group class on Saturday. It's kinda funny as I read the other comments that keeping track of sets/reps was a challenge. We anticipated this and figured out a way to keep track...we stacked blocks. Yeah, kindergarten paid off super well!
I can only speak for myself (Jenn), but by my 8th set of 10 pull-ups, 20 push-ups, 30 squats.... I wanted to puke, but somehow choked it down. Not sure why, but the push-ups were the hardest for me, so I switched the order for the last 2 sets. Also, I was only able to do 5 complete sets of kipping pull-up and push-ups on my toes. The last 5 were jumping pull-ups and push-ups on my knees. Also, my first mile was a solid 8 min mile and the second on was more like 8:30-8:45 (choking down puke kinda slowed me down, I guess).
Kim Kahler Time= 41:44
Jenn H Time- 34:07

Casey,
No problem, I've miscounted myself during really tough workouts. I once had a really good Fran time and then after I thought about it it just didn't make sense. You kinda just get caught up in the moment and lose count. You'll have plenty of time in the future to make it up.

Nathan, Amy and I did the workout yesterday at the park, subbing dips on a bench for the pull-ups. We all did the half-Murph, and here are our times:

Nathan: 21:43
Elise: 21:43
Amy: 21:42

We did a half mile run, then 5 rounds of 10 dips, 20 push-ups, 30 squats, then the last run. Can't wait to see how everyone else did!

Wow, touching video, thanks for posting. Killer workout today, everyone did awesome!

Here's a little bit about Murph that I found.

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.

Tribute to Lt. Michael Murphy

I thought I was having a great day, until I came back from my second mile and noticed the other guys still working. I quickly realized I must have done something wrong (I'm not that good!). I recalculated my (jumping) pull ups and found I only did 75. But on the way home I thought there was still no way I did Murph that fast. So naturally I have been second guessing myself since and wonder if I miscounted my pull ups, did I miscount anything else? This is where a sheet of paper and pen come in handy to keep track on large reps like this. I think its only fair (to myself and the group) if I redo this tomorrow, and see how I do. So Tom, if you read this before you post times, can you smack me with a big NT please? Thanks, and sorry guys and gals.

Have fun with this today, miss you guys!
