COT:

*COT:

Just like a diversified investment portfolio minimizes risk and maximizes long-term gains, a well-rounded fitness routine is key to long-term success and injury prevention. Incorporating long slow distance for endurance, HIIT or bootcamp for intensity, and strength training with adequate rest between sets creates balance. It’s about variety, sustainability, and recovery. Over time, this approach builds a resilient body, just as a diversified portfolio builds lasting wealth. Stay consistent, and let each type of training complement the others for maximum results.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 9/11 Stair Climb tomorrow 0415/0430, Overnight Ruck probably already started.

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.
