JY Pi WOD - Friday, May 15th, 2020

JY Pi WOD

This Saturday we hope you will join Steph + Jen at 9am for the JY Pi WOD on zoom. JY refers to Jen Young. Jen was a CrossFitter in Burlington, ON at CrossFit Altitude. A special person, who truly loved the CrossFit community with all her heart. She would geek out on analytic numbers, she loved cats, wrote WODPress for Sweat RX Magazine, after she was diagnosed with cervical cancer she created a foundation called Love the Snatch, which included a Masters Competition that carried on for years after her death.

On Sunday, May 17th, 2015 Jen lost her battle with cervical cancer at the age of 31. For some of us, we were lucky enough to know JY and to call her our friend. For Brit, she was lucky enough to call her, her best friend. Jen’s passing came the weekend before the 2015 East Regionals, to which she was to accompany Brit as her ‘coach’ and have backstage access to the event, something she was have loved. Her passing hit the Canada East CrossFit community hard. She was a bright light, she was a true weekend warrior CrossFitter, and competed in many local competitions. A hashtag was created after Jen’s passing #JenisCanadaEast, the first event at the 2015 East Regional was Randy, a snatch event, to honour JY all the Canadian women competing wore Love the Snatch shirts. It was a pretty powerful moment to watch these ladies walk on the floor on honouring Jen. Whether they knew her personally or not, they were taking time to honour and celebrate her.

Jen’s favourite number was Pi, the JY Pi WOD was created after her passing, and we have celebrated her with it every year since. We are opening the Zoom WOD up this Saturday for everyone who wants to attend , she had such a love for the CrossFit community that we would love to be able to celebrate her with as many CrossFitters as possible. The Meeting ID for 9am Saturday is 872 9080 3284 please join us, bring the community together for an hour and honour and celebrate the special woman that JY was!
