COT: Welles Crowther was an equities trader at Sandler O’Neill and a volunteer firefighter at Empire Hook & Ladder Co. #1 in Nyack, NY. Welles was known for saving as many as 18 lives during the September 11 attacks in New York City. While carrying a woman on his back Crowther made his way to the 78th floor of the South Tower where he encountered a group of survivors who followed him 17 floors down where he dropped off the woman he was carrying before heading back up to help more people.
• When he returned to the 78th floor he had a red bandana around his nose and mouth to protect himself from the smoke. He was last seen assisting members of the FDNY to administer first aid and put out fires before the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 am. He was 24 years old.
• The legacy that Welles Crowther leaves is a true example of the common man doing the uncommon thing during crisis.

AO: thepatriot
Q: Lazlo
PAX: CableGuy, My Space, Big Short, Daaa Auditor, Boardwalk, bogey, Anchorman, 2 percent, 3 mile, citrus, Pilsbury, Ice Tea, Flipper, SAAS, Maguire, Jag, sticks, Strange Brew, Kodak, Jenner, Goldfish, Legacy, Lucius, Disco, Overthrow, Coxswain, Prestige, Phoenix FNGs: None
COUNT: 29
Iron Pax Week 1 says it all, but I’m not done. It was dark this morning and hard to measure the enthusiasm among the PAX, but I’m going to estimate it somewhere between awe-inspiring and colossal. Y’all were clearly not deterred by Week 0 and were ready to go. In terms of complexity the workout was north of just doing a bunch of thrusters and burpees, and also just a bit north of where it would be nice to have a white board, or maybe even a cheat sheet. But nobody thought of that. So we got on with it. We also decided unanimously (among all people interviewed by the Q) that broad jump burpees are just not a good way to get places.

WARMUP: SSH, imperial walkers, willie mays hayes, cherry pickers, michael phelps, downward dog, wgs, cobra kai

THE THANG: PAX lined up on the goal line. 3 burpees on a 4 minute EMOM. “11’s” with thrusters (10 to 1) at the goal line and HR merkins (1 to 10) at the 30 yd line. For rounds 1-5 of 11s, the travel to the 30 and back was: bear crawl, lunges, broad jump burpees, run, and murder bunny (rev. MB to return). For rounds 6-10, repeat.

MARY: None

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 364 days til hockey tryouts 9/11 stair climb.

Please keep Lucius’ nephew, Robert, and the rest of the family in your prayers after a serious mountain biking accident left him in really bad shape.

COT: The Q relayed a story told to him on 9/11/2001 by an older guy who had lived through WWII in Great Britain. Things happen from everyday struggles to major life changing events. Lean on each other to keep at it and not give up hope.

horizon-ao A kinder, gentler Iron Pax Week 1, sort of

Date: 2024-09-13
AO: horizon-ao
Q: Fish Fry
PAX: Attache’, Magoo, Bellhop, Groundhog, SPINAL TAP, 3 mile, Bone FNGs: None
COUNT: 8
WARMUP: SSH, Michael Phelps, World’s greatest stretch, cat-cow, windshield wipers
THE THANG: The Q wasn’t even sure he would make it out today, but made a rough idea of a plan last night in case no one took Q on Friday based on Iron Pax for the week. The 11s used were much more reasonable and didn’t involve harming bunnies.

Squat Thrusters-Jog across field-Hand Release Merkins
Bent over Rows-Backward run to middle of field-bonnie blairs IC Skull Crushers-Karaoke-Squats
MARY: LBCs, Pike Ups
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Grunt on November 11. Need volunteers. Gratitude for 9-11 climb. Mourning for Investigator David.
COT: Moment of silence for 9/11 and Inspector David, followed by key point from a book I’m reading called Living LIfe Backwards on Ecclesiastes. The only certainty we have in life is death. Solomon tells us to learn from that. Live in a way and treat others with an eye to how you will be remembered at your funeral.
