Just to make you guys feel inadequent (like me)... a 53 year old buddy just ran the mini marathon with an average 7.37 mile pace including one puke break!
Well I beat my time. 2k row @ 8:28.
I'm getting there Doc!
wow, nice job!
boom! Nicely done. The problem with the rower is you can't lay on the ground right away. You have to unstrap first
I have two sets of gymnastics grips and like them. I haven't ripped in a long time, but doing 48 chest-to-bar pull-ups Saturday was apparently too muchI'm using some Bear Komplex 2-hole hand guards occasionally. I am trying to break them in and will most likely use them for Murph or at least part of it if I see my hands starting to "fail".
I have been trying to toughen up my hands, but Murph will be more pull-ups than I have done in one workout and I want to be sure to make it through. Or at least not having ripped hands prevent me from finishing.
There are other "scares" in attempting Murph. Like push-ups for instance...

And yeah, the Murph push-ups get real rough! I'll be doing 5-10-15 for 20 rounds and breaking up the push-ups early! Just hoping to survive this first year with the vest...
That should be a good gauge for you. A half Murph is not much easier, just less time in the pain cave!I'm not sure if I should even attempt to run with the "big dogs" and do the full version. We have a mini-Murph which is half. Even that will be tough for me. We are doing a workout Friday with many rounds of Cindy. I am hoping that will help me decide. If I only get 8 rounds or so in the time limit, I'll stick with the mini. If I get over 15 I'll consider the full Murph.

Good for you sir.Still doing ring rows, can't do pull ups yet. Getting stronger every week, not giving up!
