9/11 Remembrance

It was a chilly 50-something degrees with clear skies on this day, 24 years after a historic and tragic series of events that changed the lives of everyone in the country. 12 Pax posted with a broadly defined set of blocks.

THE THANG
Flight 93 was hijacked and headed to the Capitol building when passengers resisted against the hijackers, subsequently leading to the crashing of the plane in a field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. It killed 44 people on-board but saved countless others since it didn’t make it to the Capitol. To honor those heroes who resisted, Pax went to the grass area along the school near the shovel flag and partnered up.

• Partner 1: Wall sit
• Partner 2: Lunge to the tree line and back
• Switch, rinse, repeat – we did about 2 cycles each.

Flight 77 was hijacked and crashed into the Pentagon, killing 125 people including Naval officers, civilians, contractors, and others. To honor those, Pax worked through 5 stations in a pentagon formation. At all stations, the number of reps equaled the merkin count from the warm-up. Most Pax rounded through each station twice.

• Station 1: Incline merkins
• Station 2: Pull-ups (reps felt like a lot here)
• Station 3: Merkins
• Station 4: Overhead press
• Station 5: Curls

Mosey to the hill. Flight 11 was hijacked and hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center. 17 minutes later, the hijacked Flight 175 hit the South Tower. During that 17 minutes, many people unknowingly saved themselves by evacuating the South Tower. But not all evacuated. To honor those involved, Pax worked through the following, with different partners this time.

• Pax 1 did step-ups on the benches at the bottom of the hill.
• Pax 2 farmer carried two coupons around the lower hill loop. When they got exhausted, they dropped the coupons and ran the rest of the loop to switch with the Pax 1. Rinse, repeat for approximately two rounds, moving in the same loop direction.
