This is the only picture I got from Murph.
Right before I wiped it off.
No before shots. No mid-workout grit. No sweaty group photo. Just the board, the words and the work we’d already done.
Yesterday at the whiteboard I shared something my mentor said:
Hero workouts are unique to CrossFit. They’re an opportunity for somebody’s name to live on through our effort. A way to honorably give a piece of ourselves for someone who gave everything for us.
It was going to be incredibly hard.
But we do hard things because hard things give us favorable adaptations. Physical. Mental. Emotional. And especially together.
That last part is everything. Together.
I didn’t get pictures of the moments because we were in them. The partner swaps. The gasps for air. The cheers for the person finishing last. The high-fives.
The words on the board is the only proof I have because the moments live in the people who showed up 🤘🏻
Thank you for being the kind of community that shows up to do Murph because Murph deserves it.
