Today is the 19th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The UNC ROTC typically does a 9/11 memorial stair climb at Kenan Stadium, but due to Covid 19, the event was not able to be held. YHC still wanted to remember those that died in the terror attacks and those that died trying to bring those in danger to safety. Luckily, downtown Durham has some tall parking decks for us to utilize for an event such as this. 20 strong showed up to honor the day, so we actually circled up across the street so we could have more room.

Warm-Up (exercises in cadence)

• SSH x30

The Thang

YHC led the PAX on a short jog over to the stairs of the parking deck on the corner of Mangum and Morgan. We ran the 7 flights of stairs to the top of the parking deck. YHC held the door and sent one PAX in every 5 seconds to keep social distance. At the top we did 9 burpees OYO, 11 true americans OYO, and then 19 single count squats led by YHC. We then ran back down the stairs, again giving the person ahead of us a generous head start. We did this set 5 times in total. After we reached the top the second time, we split the group in half. Coxswain led the group through the same workout on another stairwell in the parking deck.

After the 5th trip down we reconvened back where we started.
