27 #HIM including 3 FNG’s came to remember 9/11.

15 years ago Radical Islamic Terrorists attacked the very core of what America is – Liberty – by cowardly hijacking airplanes fully loaded with fuel and crashing them into the World Trade Center Towers, the Pentagon, and Pennsylvania.

Close to 3,000 people died in the WTC, including 343 Firefighters/Paramedics, 60 Police officers who ran into those burning buildings to save lives. Those men and women didn’t care one iota what color skin those people had, they didn’t care what religion they were, they didn’t care about anything other than getting into those buildings to save HUMANS.

So today’s Eagles Nest workout was dedicated to those men & women.

THE THANG

Warm Up

• SSH X15
• IW X15
• MNC X15

Mosey to Popeye’s Peak aka the stairs next to Tilman Hall.

YHC talked about the brave men and women who ran up 60 to 80 flights of stairs to save HUMAN lives. Touching on how these so called millionaire athletes who were barely old enough to shave, drive a car or wipe the drool from their chin 15 years ago, disgrace the flag by sitting, kneeling or sticking their fists in the air during the National Anthem. Each of those knuckleheads disrespects each and every last one of those men and women who ran the stairs to save HUMAN lives. So to remind us we did the following –

Because of the number of PAX and safety, we paired up.

• 25+/- Merkins while partner Ran the Stairs
• 25+/- Monkey Humpers while partner ran the stairs
• 25+/- CDD while partner ran the stairs
• 25+/- Squats while partner ran the stairs

Feeling the pain in our legs we remembered the men & women who ran those WTC stairs by doing the following again…

• 25+/- Merkins while partner ran the stairs
• 25+/- CDD while partner ran the stairs

Mosey towards Digg’s field – Stopping where YHC heard for the first time that what happened in NYC and asked the PAX to remember for a second where they were.

Next – Only 6 people who were inside the WTC survived the building collapse. To honor those men and women who spent countless hours the following days after clearing debris and rubble, we did the following at the Digg’s Field

GRAB A ROCK!

• 10 Piston Rows w/ rock – Run the hill or stairs
• 10 Over Head Press w/ Rock – Run the hill or stairs
• 10 Curls w/ rock – run the hill or stairs
• 10 count from Mayhem

Rinse and Repeat (minus the over head presses)

Mosey Back to the COT

This Q hurt, but it was designed to hurt, and remind us about sacrifices made for us. Not just by the people on and after 9/11 but the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for us. Sky Q created HUMANS in His image – He sent Jesus to save all HUMANS. HUMANS!! One Race, the HUMAN race, God’s race!

AYE!!

Popeye OUT.
