Well – I wanted to sign us up for a Stair Climb to commemorate 9/11 so a few months ago I contacted a group that does one at the Hyatt. They told me only first responders can do it – so I decided we would do our own stair climb at our Friday spot at WPM.
The 11o Floors were the number of floors that First Responders and Firefighters climbed to get to people at the top of WTC in NYC on 9/11/2001. I can’t imagine doing that in full gear with the stress of the scenario playing out – not to mention the heat and the weight of the gear. Tclaps to Landing Strip, Peppa and Hawg for bringing their RUCK gear. I think one more PAX brought their gear.
We did a quick MOSEY to the base of WPM and immediately got to work trying to get our 16 trips up.
It was much harder than I thought it would be. I actually only got to 14 complete reps.
All of the PAX in the first stairwell completed the activity.
Tclaps to BAM from Winston Salem who actually did a stair climb on 9/11. So he did it twice!
We had our guy Carlton post again but then vanish mid workout – I suggest Copperfield for his F3 name–
For he is a master of illusion. (or perhaps GOB pronounced JOB)
Thanks again for letting me attempt this reflection. Someone gave me an idea for doing that at Champion Square next year and I think that might be a better location.
See you in the gloom!
