Murph Prep Workouts: Sand and Steel will feature a number of specially marked Murph prep workouts through May 2023. Murph themed classes will be equally distributed throughout the week. Attendance of a Murph prep workout will net your team 2 points. Wearing your team colors will net 1 additional point for your team. Points will be assigned to your team based on your SugarWOD notes. Include your team color in the notes.
If you wore your team colors, indicate that as well in the SugarWOD notes. Example: Yellow Team. Wore Yellow Headband.
May 21, 2023
Murph Time Trial: on Sunday, May 21 we’ll do a Murph time trial. This special workout is worth double points for attendance and colors. You’ll be doing the full workout with your team. In the time trial, you do not need to wait for your team to finish each component. This is the workout where you are determining your 2023 Murph time for your own personal records. You can also do a scaled version of Murph such as half-murph.
May 27, 2023
Main Event: will be a team based competition. You’ll be assigned to the blue team or yellow team. Teams will be randomly assigned based on the level you select. In our Main event, all members of a team must finish each component before the team can start on the next component. The winning team will be declared when the last person of that team crosses the finish line. The winning team will get 20 points. Each member in their team color will earn 1 point.
Murph Row: Running is part of CrossFit… always has been since the beginning. Running provides unique benefits and we encourage all members to run. But if you need to row or simply don’t want to run, we have the Murph Row option. If you choose this option your time won’t count for or against your team during the main event. You’ll WOD with your team, but your final times won’t count. If you are worried about slowing down your team, you can choose this option as well. Your team can still win (or lose) and you’ll be included as a member of the winning team / losing team.

If Your Goals Don’t Intimidate You a Little… You Aren’t Setting Them High Enough
The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them. If your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough. -Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
Many people struggle to accomplish their goals, because the stakes aren’t high enough. Fear of failure is a reality, and it blocks the emotional commitment to really push yourself to the next level. Whether it’s a Sand & Steel Competition, a Spartan Race, or even just signing up for your first CrossFit class, fear will hold you back from achieving greatness.
I think the ability of the average athlete could be doubled if it were demanded, if the situation demanded it. – Will Durant
But CrossFit provides us more than just incredible strength and fitness, it shapes our lives so we can do more, become more.
What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.- Henry Thoreau
I firmly believe that there is greatness in all of us. But to quote Michael Jordan,
You have to expect great things of yourself before you can do them.
You’ll never achieve more than you think is possible. And that’s where a great coach comes in. We know what you are capable of and we are your champions. But at the end of the day, nothing will work unless you do. And, if you want better results… you have to make better choices.
And that’s why, year after year, I prepare and train to complete Murph. It’s a benchmark of my fitness… a measure of how far I have come. It’s a time where I can celebrate all of your accomplishments. It’s where Commitment, Consistency and Community come together. It is the CrossFit way.
And when we are all in the trenches together, when our arms and lungs are burning, and you feel like you cannot take it anymore…
I’ll remind you…
Think About Why You Started CrossFit
Health
Fitness
Strength
Friendship
Look Great Naked
Whatever your reasons, we are united in these goals… and we will finish Murph together.
I am a 2023 Murph Finisher
