“Abbate"...

1 mile
155 pound Clean and jerk, 21 reps
Run 800 meters
155 pound Clean and jerk, 21 reps
Run 1 Mile
42:44Rx

I realized about five reps into the first round of clean and jerks that 155lbs was a huge mistake. Went way too heavy but decided to tough it out.

Thought about giving up. Wanted to give up. Didn’t give up - because of Sergeant Abbate.

Abbate, 26, of Honolulu, Hawaii, assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force, based out of Camp Pendleton, California, was killed on December 2, 2010, while conducting combat operations in Helmand province, Afghanistan.

Mike “Dork” Kennedy...


"On Wednesday 3.26.14 we lost a family member, Mike Kennedy aka Dork. He was one of the two Boston Fire Fighters that lost their lives while fighting a 9 alarm fire in downtown Boston. Dork was a huge presence in the community while at Craic and after he left. Dork was the reason I joined Craic and a few other members, including his girlfriend Sarah Wessmann. Whenever he was in the gym he always pushed you to be better than you thought you could. This also carried to his life outside the gym. He was known to the world as a CrossFit coach, a Marine and a Fire Fighter. He was more than that to me and many others. He was my friend, my brother, my mentor and even a father figure at times. It was never a dull moment with Dork around. The world will not be the same without him. We will miss you Dork".  - CrossFit Craic




33 Back Squats (225)
15 Burpees
33 Deadlifts (225)
15 Burpees
33 KB Swings (70)
15 Burpees
NOT for time. Out of respect. RIP 

Firefighter Mike "Dork" Kennedy of Ladder Co. 15 was 33 and had a little over 6 years of service with the BFD. Mike was a Marine, a CrossFitter and member of the motorcycle club American Infidels.
