23 years later, we still remember where we were and who we were with that day. 9/11 will always be a day that we never forget. 19 Fighters, including 4 FNGs (Unfortunately, 1 FNG had to leave early and will be named at a future workout hopefully) came out to the Green Mile this morning for a 9/11 themed workout to honor the lives lost. Here is how it went down:
Warm up: Mosey to the bus parking lot, F3 Mission Statement/Disclaimer/Principles, IC exercises including SSH, Helicopters, Ukrainian Soldiers, Copperhead Squats, Deadman Hang, LBCs, Roscoe’s Mom
COP 1: Mosey to the top of the bus loop for 9/11’s – Started at bus parking spot 1 with 9 HRMs, run to bus parking spot 10 to perform 11 double count American Hammers and return to bus parking spot 1. Repeat 9 HRMs, run to bus parking spot 9, back to spot 1 for 11 double count American Hammers and so on until completed 10 rounds.
COP 2: Mosey around the school to small parking lot hill by playgrounds for a Flight Dora to honor the flights impacted on 9/11. P1 performs exercise, while P2 runs to lamppost on the left and back. AA Flight 11 that hit the North Tower – 11 Burpees, AA Flight 77 that hit the Pentagon – 77 Supermans, UA 93 that was taken down in PA – 93 Carolina Dry Docks, UA 175 that hit the South Tower – 175 Heels to Heaven.
COP 3: Mosey to the field at the front of the school that has a steeper than expected hill to perform a teamed-up effort to complete 110 flight of stairs that were in the towers. All PAX ran up the hill and back down which counted as 1 and collectively banked until we reached 110.
COP 4: Mosey back to the flag for another teamed-up effort to honor the 2,977 American lives lost. All PAX performed single count mountain climbers and collectively banked until we reached 2,977.
COP 5: Ring of Fire – 9 of your favorite merkin, flip over, 11 of your favorite ab exercise. Time called.
