Farewell, Sister

JT Scott | 01/26/2016 | 2

I made a big announcement yesterday: I’m selling my first CF box, CrossFit Fenway. You can read the announcement here.

I opened the doors on Fenway back in 2009 as one of the first 1000 CF Affiliates, and while it’s been a great experience it’s time for me to let someone else take the reins. It’s been a blast working with Eric and the whole team for over 6 years, and sharing staff and exchanging programming ideas has been really beneficial for both boxes. I’ve enjoyed building communities here and in the Fenway, but I live in Union Square now and this place – and CrossFit Somerville – really is my home.

I’ll miss the Annual CFF-to-CFSV-5k and of course all the people I’ve gotten to know over the years there, but I’m super excited to be spending all of my time in Somerville with you fine folks moving forward! It’s going to be wonderful to be able to focus all my time and energy on Somerville projects, and I think good news for everyone.

To celebrate, I think it’s fitting to do this WOD! It’s one that came out of a CrossFit Fenway programming/staff meeting a few weeks ago (so you can blame Chris Wells for it… or me… or Eric…), so let’s offer our sister facility a fond wave farewell with some big cleans and some high box jumps! (Scale appropriately!)

STRENGTH:
Power clean + 3 Front Squat

WOD:
3 Rounds

3 Cleans (185/115)
9 Box jumps (40/30)
2 Cleans
6 Box jumps
1 Clean
3 Box jumps

* Rest 3 minutes between each round
(Total WOD is 18 cleans, 54 box jumps)

The wall-ball targets at CF Fenway’s original location were outside-only… and were 10.5 feet tall.
