The winter storm hit the same day 'Murph' hit. For some, relief, for others the compulsion is too great to be ignored. Gotta get 'Murph'... Gotta get 'Murph'... It'll run over and over through your brain like a broken recording until you are given the opportunity to GET 'MURPH'!

'Murph' is one of our all-time favorites and a rite of passage in the CrossFit community. This was the first 'Murph' for a few. Outstanding workout, and congratulations!

This is an interesting debate that, along with "Power", or "Full" Clean, CFHQ has had to step in and clarify. To partition, or not to partition? That is the question. Only recently has CFHQ included with the 'Murph' instructions the word "partition".

What's the difference between partitioning 'Murph', or going straight through? Twelve minutes.

Old school CrossFitters find an inherent flaw with this as for most it's a mile run, then twenty rounds of 'Cindy' with another mile run. We have never split hairs on this one mostly leaving it up to choice. Work is work- whatever strategy you use to get to the end- the only way out is through.

However, running a mile after perfroming 300 Squats is entirely different than running a mile after twenty rounds of 'Cindy'- just sayin'....

Stepping down off my soapbox.

Good job giving in to that CrossFit addiction, and thanks for another great day of training and conditioning at CFSF.
