Fight For Air Climb!!
On Saturday March 20th, 2010 the American Lung Association will be holding it’s annual timed stair climb race. The race will be taking place at the Bell Atlantic Tower on Arch Street in Center City Philadelphia starting at 8:30am. The money raised from the event goes towards research to help stop lung disease.
This would be a great event for CrossFiters to get involved in. If anyone is interested in forming a team to raise some money and participate in the climb please let us know via the comments section or in person. If so, we will begin contacting some of the other area affiliates to see if they would like to join forces with us.
The event will open with our local area First Responders heading up the tower in full gear. Our own Marita K.’s son Justin will be leading the group. If a team is formed we could use this day as part of our Saturday class, and add some weights to the stair climb. Going up 1, 088 stairs with sandbags for time, would make for a great WOD! Incase your wondering, the American Lung Association says that if you can walk 3miles you can climb 1, 088 stairs in approximatley 20mins.
Programming For: 1/27/10
Weight Pullups: 3-3-3-3-3
3 Rounds For Time:
-20 Box Jumps
-15 DB Push Press
-10 Hanging DB Squat Cleans
I’m in for the climb! That is also the tentative date for the next Business Meeting.
I missed my superhero comrades for this WOD! Thankfully, Nicole stepped in for getting through it. (She also was the only one that showed up for the 5PM class and stayed for the 6PM to do the WOD!)
I’d be up for the climb…I work on the 9th floor, so maybe I’ll start practicing!
That stair climb is a great event. I will be there. Going to be rough running that tower in gear.
I am definitely in for the stair climb…I don’t know about carrying sandbags but I’m up for anything. I just need my Superhero squad to be there to help push me! Look forward to seeing my crew on Friday!
I’d be up for doing the climb!
