It’s not everyday that you get the chance to Q one of the premiere workouts in all of Carpex, Shaken Not Stirred, so when Sabre asked for someone to step in, YHC was more than happy to oblige. Alas, YHC could not make the 9/11 stair climb at Carter-Finley due to work meetings, but this was the next best thing. Arts and Crafts was in town for the same meetings and looking for a beat down. However, he wasn’t there when we started, so off we go:
Wait! There’s A&C, pulling into the lot as we jog past. You know what that means… Continue jogging to the rock pile lot and circle up for :

COT/NMS
- Thoughts and prayers to those still affected by 9/11 18 years ago
- YHC shared a slightly modified post from social media. While though the numbers were not exactly right, the point of the statement rings true:
“On this morning 18 years ago 246 people got up in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people started getting ready for work. 343 firefighters began their morning shift. 60 police officers began their for morning patrol. 8 paramedics prepared for the morning shift of saving lives. None of them saw past 10:00am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same. Tonight as you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.” - Thank you men for the opportunity to lead you on this historic and solemn day.
