Marine Sgt. Matthew J. Fenton, 24 years old, of Little Ferry, N.J.; assigned to Marine Forces Reserve’s Inspector and Instructor Staff, 1st Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, Fort Devens, Mass.; died May 5 at National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, Md., from wounds received April 26 while conducting combat operations against enemy forces in Anbar province, Iraq.

On May 5th we honored Glover & McKenna with their HERO WOD and today we to do with Sgt. Fenton who perished on May 5th. Catharsis demanded this unique paradox of dates and the HERO WODs were subsequently programmed.

Notes: There will be optional time caps, overall and per the middle section specifically, as needed. The movement of the Reverse Burpee for this WOD must finish with a jump onto or over the object used for the Devil’s Press; adjust the weight as needed to facilitate an ability to continue pushing through the Devil’s Press workload throughout the grueling longer training timeline. Scale the Reverse Burpees with mats/arm assisted. Athletes may choose to perform 1 x Inverted Burpee + 5ft HS Walk if in place of the 2 x Reverse Burpees if they happen to be feeling extra froggy. Mountain Climbers would be the abstract task as needed, specifics provided as applicable.

Scaling the WOD entails Single-unders at 1,2, or 3x the rep count; Let friskiness dictate on this Friday.
