This Sunday, October 8th CrossFit Fenway has more than a baker’s dozen of athletes running the Boston Athletic Association Half Marathon (there may be more, and I know of a couple of available numbers if anyone’s interested). They’re listed below for your online tracking convenience, or you can look for them in their brand new, bright green CrossFit Fenway Endurance shirts if you’re out around the course on Sunday.
Brian Bender
Beau Bousquet
Cara Candal
Eugenio Candal
Rachel Chernick
Katie M. Crowley
Patrick Ford
Jerilyn Goldberg
Kevin Kittredge (running under a different name)
Stacey Kroon
Sean O’Connell
Tim Pennell
Eric Siegel
Natalia Widulinski
Also representing CFF, but running twice as far out in the Windy City in the Chicago Marathon are Albert Mena and Meghan Teehan.
All of these athletes have used CrossFit as the backbone of their training. I’m very excited to hear about their experiences, and to see how they perform. Good luck runners. I’m looking forward to a lot of PRs!

Power Snatch: 44kg
WOD: 5:30 Rx – best way to start any day is with some rope climbs.
Looking forward to representing CFF on Sunday!
PS – 20kg, starting to get the mechanics, I think.
WOD – 8:11, with 2 rope climbs in first set and ground pull up thing-y’s for the rest.
First rope climb(s) ever today! One for practice and 2 in WOD. Thanks Stacey & 6AM for the encouragement. Also, Tim looked awesome with his 5:30 Rx.
PS: 125#
WOD: 6:07 Rx
Snatch 31kg – PB there for me
WOD 11:15 3 rope climbs and then scaled the rest
Hoping I might attempt the half on Sunday – if I do it will be the slowest HM i’ve every done! Calf is improving but not totally right yet. Still trying to decide what to do
Hope its goes well for everyone else
Come keep up the rear with me!!
PS: 45 kg (50kg x 2 ugly reps)
WOD: 6:15 rx
love rope climbs now that my ankle doesn’t rip (wool socks, tape the ankle and use the J wrap).
