The Murph Challenge took place this Saturday and high fives to everyone who participated and took on Murph. In particular, Christine deserves the best Murph performance by coming under her goal of 1 hour with a time of 59:58. Way to push through with heart and chase that goal down! When a workout looks this daunting, having strong mental focus at every moment is important in getting your best time. It would be really easy to get sloppy, take unnecessary breaks, and not get your best performance. Many different strategies were used and I’m sure people will be tweaking their plans a bit now that they’ve experienced it for the first time. We re-test Murph in June. Checkout the scene from this weekend.

    Way to go Adam. Looks like the hamstring is better? Keep up the good work man. Working your way towards the ultimate test…ripping large phone-books in half for time. Can’t wait.
