9/11/2001 is a day nobody will ever forget. Nobody should ever forget. Many lives were lost and America as we knew it was forever changed after that day.
This was the 25th anniversary of that horrible day.
110 stories / floors per tower
Approx 2,071 steps in each tower
1,100 – 1,200 ft elevation gained per tower
2,753 souls from both towers perished
The football stadium bleachers at Nation Ford High School (aka Honey Badger, Ring of Fire, and Varsity), there are 6 rows (the larger two-way rows) of steps, each row with 34 steps. Going up then down each of the 6 rows gets you 204 steps, which is one round. Repeat that 10 times, or 10 rounds, +1 more row, you have 2074 steps. But we are going for elevation gain, not step count. By doing at least 14-15 rounds of NaFo steps, everyone hit the mark on elevation gained and over 2,100 steps.
Some were slick (no ruck), some wore rucks or weight vests, some had sandbags, some did a combo of all the above. We launched at 0600, and were done by 0730. Excellent work by everyone involved.
If we fail to remember significant events in our history, we are destined to eventually repeat them. NEVER FORGET.
This will be back again next year, hopefully closer to 9/11.
