Josh Bridges Wins Murph — 2016 CrossFit Games

After a total of two 1-mile runs, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, and 300 air squats with a 20-lb weighted vest, former United States Navy SEAL Josh Bridges won his eighth Games event, posting the fastest time in Murph at the 2016 CrossFit Games.

Bridges started CrossFit in 2005 and became the second-fittest man on Earth at his Games debut in 2011 — while serving his country as a SEAL.

My all time fave crossfit moment... I know he was dying to get a crack at the Murph at the cf games... esp after watching to foreigners win the inaugural Murph at the CF Games the year before when Josh was injured.
