This year I completed The Murph in 37:50 with a 30 lb vest. Below is why the challenge came to be.
Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy was a U.S. Navy SEAL officer from Patchogue, New York. On June 28, 2005, during Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan, his four-man team was ambushed by a much larger Taliban force. Mortally wounded, he deliberately exposed himself to enemy fire to make a distress call, ultimately saving one teammate.
